Crossroads soccer leagues are designed to teach and develop a player's skills while incorporating a positive Christian influence through weekly devotional moments at practice. The cost to register for this league is $100.

Practices and Games
The first week of practice will be the week of March 17th.
Games will be on Saturdays, starting March 29th, and ending May 17th.
We host practices one day per week and we schedule the practice according to the availability you put in your registration form. So long as we have a coach who can serve, we will place your child on a day that works with the stated availability in the registration form. Our practice times are either from 5:00 to 6:15 pm or 6:15 pm to 7:30 on either Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.
We host seven games throughout the season. All of our games will be on Saturdays. We typically host our games between 8:30 am and 3:00 pm and the time of the game may vary from week to week depending on the scheduling needs for the season. Some age groups may have a consistent schedule each week while others may have variety in their game schedule.
Team Placement Requests
We allow a maximum of two requests for children registering for our league. Please note that we cannot guarantee all teammate or coach requests and we may not honor a request if it creates an imbalance in the league or if we are unable to make the necessary scheduling accommodations to have players play on the same team. All teammate requests must be included in the registration form to ensure that they are included in the teambuilding process.
