There have been a lot of questions about Spring/Summer soccer.  Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions.


Where do I register?
https://clubs.bluesombrero.com/Default.aspx?tabid=483892 or click on the REGISTER button on the top right on the website. 

When are games and practices?
Schedules will be released in April. Younger ages typically have 1 practice and 1 game each week and older levels may have 2 practices plus a game. Early in the season (end of March into April) there will be opportunities for indoor practices as communicated by the team coaches. 

How many games are in a season?
8-10 with an equal number of home and away games. The season runs end of April to early July. 

Are there any weekend commitments?
SMSL games are scheduled on the weekend before Memorial Day - but can be rescheduled if needed. Teams also generally participate in 1-2 weekend tournaments.

It says some travel may be required, but what is the max distance?  
We joined the Southern Minnesota Soccer league in 2022. This cut down travel significantly - most games will be within an hour distance.  (If you are familiar with high school - think Big 9 / Section 1 play)

What can my child do if they too young for travel?
We have introduced an in house program- we suggest all players start out here. 

What is the uniform cost?  
We are getting new uniforms this year which will cost $110.  This includes 2 jerseys (a white and a purple) a pair of shorts and 1 pair of socks.

Is there other equipment that I will need to purchase?
Players are expected to have a soccer ball, shin guards and soccer cleats

Are there scholarships available?
Yes. We offer financial assistance on a sliding scale based on your household income.  You can find more info on how to apply here: https://dt5602vnjxv0c.cloudfront.net/portals/3058/docs/club%20documents/soccerfinancial%20aid.pdf

When does registration close?  
The end of February.

WHY does registration close so early?  
Teams have to be submitted to our governing body (early March).  So we realize there may still be snow on the ground but be thinking SOCCER NOW!
