RYSA RECREATION UNIFORM POLICY

Beginning with the Fall 2011 Season, RYSA implemented a new uniform policy using a uniform kit that will be purchased in addition to the registration fees. Once purchased this kit can be used for future seasons and will not need to be repurchased until your player outgrows them or when they move up to U10. The kit will consist of a Royal Blue jersey and a Gray jersey (t-shirts for U6 and U8). These shirts will have the new RYSA Revolution logo and a number on the back. Royal Blue will be worn when a team is designated as the Home team on the schedule and Gray will be worn when the team is listed as the Away team. In future seasons, individual pieces will also be available for purchase if you only need to replace a portion of the uniform. Sample uniforms will be available in the RYSA office if you need to bring in your child for sizing. Shorts and socks are not included in the uniform kit.

************************************************************************************************************

RYSA Refund Policy

Full refunds will be considered for the recreation program if request is received by February 10, 2012. Refund requests received after February 10, 2012 will be considered by the RYSA Board of Directors, but are not guaranteed, and if approved will be subject to an administrative fee.

Recreation Soccer General Information

The recreational program is considered a learning program. The philosophy is for players to develop a love for the game of soccer while learning new skills and having fun with new friends.

The recreational program is for all players, whether new or experienced, from ages 4 - 18.

Registration for the recreational level is open to all boys and girls to play. No tryouts are held in recreational soccer. The recreational teams are coached by volunteers, usually a parent of one of the team players.

Team Formation

The teams are formed by a computer generated blind draft based on the number of seasons played. All Under 10 and above teams will stay together for the Fall and Spring season, and in the Spring season, new players will be added to teams to fill in for players who do not return from the Fall. Under 6 and Under 8 teams are redrafted each season.

Seasons

There are two seasons for recreation outdoor soccer a year, the Fall season which typically starts games the weekend after Labor Day and the Spring season which usually starts games the first weekend of March. Each season has approximately 9 - 10 games.

U12 and above teams may be required to travel outside of RYSA to play games. If there are not enough RYSA teams in a season, the RYSA teams will be interleague scheduled to play against other neighboring Ga Soccer Clubs which would require the teams to travel for half of their games and the other half of their games would be played at RYSA.
We also offer Summer & Winter Indoor Recreation Soccer. Please check the Indoor Section for more information.

Practices

Practices usually start two weeks before the first game. Most games are scheduled on Saturdays starting as early as 8am and the last games typically will not start after 5pm on Saturday. There may be a few games on Friday evenings starting after 6pm and there could be a Sunday afternoon game or 2 during the season, with all Sunday games starting after 1pm.

Under 6 and under 8 teams practice once a week, Under 10 and older teams may practice twice a week. Recreation players should be ready to commit to attending the practice sessions during the week and also the games on the weekends for the entire season.
