Through this you can message the team to set up meeting times, important announcements, notices about attendance, and snack rotations. You can also edit your information, see any coach assignments, and more...it's a powerful tool! Need a video tutorial? HERE YOU GO HERE!

​

This league is fun for the entire family! We encourage families to stay and cheer on their kids. Coaches and staff are not responsible for supervision.

​

WHERE:

Games will be played at Puryear Park (on fields #4 & 5) in St. Petersburg. These are south of 62nd Ave, near Mangrove Bay Golf Course.  

​

Parking is VERY, VERY limited at Puryear Park, as we have over 500 families playing here every Friday night plus a number of other groups using the field. The city WILL TICKETS & TOW if you park in any no-parking area. For parking guidelines and field numbers, refer to our FIELD MAP (LINKS HERE). Arrive early to allow time to walk to the field from approved parking areas.

​

Should our parents not follow our parking recommendations and posted signs, our league could be removed entirely from Puryear Park, so please do your part!

​

WHEN:

The schedule and field layout can be FOUND HERE. This llink is a general composite schedule. For your child's personal schedule log onto your ACCOUNT HERE. Depending on the age group, game times may vary from week to week so make sure to check the schedule before heading to the field.

We will have practice areas available an hour before games should your team want to get together to practice.

 

Please try to arrive at least 30-45 minutes early the first game to make sure you find parking, get your jersey from your coach, meet your team, and practice before your first game.

​

WHAT:

Your child will need a pair of shin guards, tennis shoes or cleats and a soccer ball. Ball size for your child's age can be found in the ONLINE RULES. Uniforms have been ordered and will be available through your coach at the first game.  The uniforms will consist of shirt, shorts and socks.

​

We are accepting gently used cleats at the field for the recycle bin. Feel free to bring those cleats that your child has outgrown and/or peruse the bin for cleats that will fit your child. Kids feet grow so fast that it is hard to keep up!

​

Items to bring with you each week: water to keep the kids and yourself hydrated, chair or blanket to sit comfortably and cheer on your team (please be at least 3 FEET OFF THE SIDELINE), layers in case of chilly evenings and/or bug spray. 

​

Please leave your pets at home (unless a service pet)...sorry, city policy!
