FirstKick teams will participate in one (1) weekly team practice with their coach and teammates. Your practice day will depend on your coach as we do our best to accommodate their schedule as a volunteer. Practices are one (1) hour long, typically take place Monday through Thursday, and start between 5:00-7:00 PM. Coaches will be provided with proven curriculum that is age-appropriate for players as they continue to develop their physical literacy and love for the game of soccer.

FirstKick teams will play in an intra-club league with three divisions - Coed, Boys, and Girls. Games will be played on Saturdays. Game times start between 9:30 AM and 2:30 PM. Teams will play 5-6 games during the season, depending on the final number of teams in each division. Games are played on a small-sized "modified or mod" field to optimize player engagement and involvement at this age.

During registration, you will be asked if you have a coach lined up to play with for the upcoming FirstKick season. If you have a coach lined up or plan to coach a FirstKick team yourself, answer Yes and list the coach's name. You will also be asked to accept the Team Placement Acknowledgement. You will additionally be asked to fill out the special requests section and accept the Special Requests Acknowledgement. If you do not have a coach lined up, answer No and fill out the subsequent special requests section. As registrations roll in, we place players on partially filled rosters as well as form new teams. You will also be asked to accept the Special Requests Acknowledgement. We do our best to give as many players the ability to play as possible, and we are always in need of volunteer coaches to support FirstKick! Learn more about becoming a coach. Registration fees are waived for children of our volunteer coaches! What if I am not placed on a team? We do our best to give as many players the ability to play as possible, but unfortunately, there may be instances where your child will be turned away. Such instances include, but are not limited to, the inability to create enough teams due to lack of players, inability to find a coach, late registrations, and unsuccessful payments. If we cannot place you on a team, you will be refunded in full.

We offer two options to pay the FirstKick registration fee: Option 1) Pay-in-full Option 2) FirstKick Split Payment Plan Pay an initial Enrollment Fee during registration ($100) Pay remainder on Monday, Sept. 8, the first day of the first week of practice for FirstKick Discount windows will apply to the Split Payment Plan. The discount amount will be applied to the initial Enrollment Fee.

Players are placed using Valor's eligibility matrix. Requests may be submitted during registration, but they are not guaranteed. Play-up requests require Grassroots Director approval and should not be assumed until official confirmation is sent by the club.
