Question 7

Registration Process

Accepted Answer

During registration, you will be asked if you have a coach lined up to play with for the upcoming Rec season.

• If you have a coach lined up or plan to coach a Rec 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 Rec! Learn more about becoming a coach. (https://www.valorsoccer.com/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.
