Frequently Asked Questions
Intramural Questions:
A coach (and a single assistant coach) are obviously able to have their children on the team.
Players are allowed to make 1 friend request. If both players make the same friend request (a matching request), we will do our best to honor it.
For example
- If Jenny requests Zoe, and Zoe requests Jenny - the requests match - and we will do everything we can to keep Zoe and Jenny together.
- If Jenny requests Michelle, and Michelle requests Zoe - there is no match, and whether any of them are on the same team will be a matter of luck.
Background:
As a program we have tried accommodating as many requests as possible in the past, and it has led to teams that are the same every season. This typically gives an unfair advantage to that team, and makes things less competitive.
It has also caused problems when we go to establish select teams because of a continued desire to stay together. This makes it difficult to create select teams that include players that weren't part of an established group.
We have also tried making things completely random and not honoring any requests. This led to frustration and complaints about the comfort of playing a new sport with friends, car pooling, etc.
Our updated plan allows some requests for comfort, carpooling, etc. while helping to keep the intramural program more balanced and competitive. This plan gives each child the opportunity to play with new teammates each season which is good for a variety of reasons.
Our intramural soccer program accepts all players. Every age group contains some new players.
Practices are generally scheduled to start immediately following Labor Day in the Fall. Generally the first games will be that first weekend after Labor Day. Check back for spring start dates.
Game days are different in the Fall and in the Spring.
In the Fall:
U4 Langhorne Littles - One day a week on Saturdays between 9-10 am children will participate in a soccer clinic followed by a game.
Games for U6 - U8 will be held Saturday mornings.
Games for U10 and older will generally be held on Saturday mornings/afternoons. There may be some Sunday afternoon games and/or a Friday night game.
In the Spring:
Games
U4 Langhorne Littles - One day a week on Sundays between 9-10 am children will participate in a soccer clinic followed by a game.
U6 and U8 – Games will be played on Sunday mornings generally between 10am and 2pm at Maple Point Middle School. This will minimize conflicts with baseball and softball games for our multi-sport players. There will be no games on Easter or Memorial Day Weekend.
U10 through U19 – Games may be scheduled for Saturdays, Sundays, or (rarely) Friday nights. Some weekends may have a Saturday and a Sunday game scheduled. Home games are played at Maple Point Middle School. Away games are played at other local clubs’ fields.
The game schedules will be communicated by the club -- most likely by the Intramural Director or Co-Director. All schedules will be in TeamSnap.
The practice schedules will be communicated by the coach. We will work with the teams to enter these into TeamSnap as well.
Rainout cancellations will be sent via email or text message. You can sign up here: RainedOut alerts signup
Coach communications for rescheduled games will be sent through TeamSnap.
Most teams will practice 2x/week. Once with a professional trainer and once with the volunteer coach.
Mostly 1x/week, but there could be games 2x/week on occassion for age groups that are U10 and above (we work with other local clubs for these age groups).
Other age groups may occassionally have more than 1 game when we are trying to reschedule games that were rained out.
If you withdraw from the season before the initial registration close date, you will receive a full refund minus a $10 administration fee.
If you withdraw after the initial registration close date and before opening day, you will receive a 50% refund.
No refunds after opening day.
Registration Process:
This is an optional field. It helps to identify the person to whom the email will be sent. You could enter your name, your child’s name, or a descriptive phrase like “work email”.
This is the section where you can volunteer to either be a head coach, or an assistant coach. Every team has a head coach. If you are not volunteering for either, leave this blank.
These are optional fields. An example of a special request is asking to play on the same team as a specific friend. We try to accommodate these requests, but cannot guarantee it.
Check this box to register in the current fall season. Sometimes parents are entering player information in the database for future emails, but do not want to register in the current season.
You pay $50 when you register for the season.
The $50 is then returned at the end of the season if you coach a team, or if you volunteer for a single 2-hour shift in the snack stand.
A snack stand sign-up form will be opened online. It serves both as the method of organization for the snack stand coordinator and as the record for returning the fee at the end of the season.
