Player Registration (2011-2012)
Registration for our recreational soccer program (U5 through U14) is now closed. There will be very limited placement from a wait-list. Contact S.P.O.R.T.S. to place your name on the wait-list. Otherwise, our next registration for the fall will be held in May 2012. |
It is that time of year again to start thinking soccer. Spring 2012 FSC Rec soccer registration starts and ends in January. Please note, if you signed your child up for full year in the fall you don't need to do anything, as your child will remain on the same team for the Spring 2012 season. If you wish to sign up your child for Spring 2012 soccer you MUST register during the month of January. Your registration options are as follows:
- Register online. Go to www.hsesports.org anytime starting January 1, 2012 thru January 31, 2012 and simply click on the Spring 2012 registration link on this page and fill out and submit the forms. You can pay by credit card and submit all the paperwork electronically.
[ click here to register on-line ] - You can also print the paperwork off and submit it by mail or hand deliver it to the SPORTS office in person at Billeracy Park at 126th and Promise Road. Registering online is the preferred method.
[ click here to download paper form ] - Pick up forms. Starting January 6 you can pick up registration forms in the SPORTS office, at any of the HSE schools or the Fishers Library. From there you can submit them by mail or hand deliver them to the SPORTS office.
Please note that if your child was not registered for full year soccer or does not register for SPRING soccer by JANUARY 31, 2012 they will not be able to play in the Spring season. As we are starting the Spring season earlier this year, this January 31st cut-off date will be strictly enforced. As a reminder and an added incentive to register for the 2012 Spring soccer season, all teams participating in the Spring 2012 season will automatically play in our Kohl's Cup as a season ending tournament at Cyntheanne Park on June 2nd. I look forward to a fun and successful 2012 Spring season. Please let me know should you have any questions. -- Brad Banks

Team Assignments
Fishers Soccer Club's Recreation program is first and foremost geared to providing a safe and fun experience play the great game of soccer. In order to make sure teams remain balanced and to prevent parents and coaches from building hand chosen dominant teams Fishers Soccer Club has established the following rule regarding formation of teams. The commissioners for grade school aged children will match up teams based on what elementary school the kids attend. They will do their best to place kids on teams that attend the same school. Each head coach is allowed to request two players to play on their team that must also be the parents request. This does not include the assistant coach. If a head coach requests a specific assistant coach, that does not count toward their two request limit. This two requests applies to the head coach only. Assistant coaches do not have additional requests. When there are more than two requests for a specific coach, the coach may choose two from those requests or just defer to the commissioner to pick two for them.
