Modified Player Age Division Rules

​​​​

The rules for determining the players age division for a soccer year will change starting in the Fall of 2026. A soccer year runs from August to July so this rule change will apply to the 26-27 soccer year. Prior to 2017 the players were placed in age groups using August 1 as the cutoff date. In 2017 the rule was changed to use January 1 so that all players born in the same year would be grouped into same age division. This caused much distress and complaints as it tended to separate kids in the same school grades. It has now be decided to revert to the old rule of using August 1 for the cutoff date. This will go into effect for the Fall of 2026. 

​

The rationale from US Youth Soccer along with how to determine which age group players will be in may be found at THIS LINK.

​

This will impact the tryouts in June for building the competitive teams for the next year.​​

The spring Rec program will start towards late March and run till mid-June with practices once a week and typically one game a week. Teams typically are coed. Requests may be made and we will try to honor them within reason. Please limit to 1-2 friends that are in the same age group. In the spring all players will get a jersey, socks, and a soccer ball. No trophies in the spring. Soccer balls are given in spring and trophies in the fall.

US Soccer Referee Abuse Policy

US Soccer published a new policy on referee abuse with substantial punishments for when it occurs such as multiple game suspensions. This policy is applied to all US Youth Soccer organizations of which WFFSC is one of them. The policy applies to coaches, players, and spectators. Notice that the number of game suspensions is tripled if the ref is a minor. Please see the policy at THIS LINK. There is a video that everyone should watch at THIS LINK.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Clubhouse Plans

After several years of effort WFFSC finally obtained the building permit for a clubhouse at Winslow. See the proposed building at this LINK.

​

The intent is to try to build using significant community contributions so anyone that can provide service, labor, or materials at discount rates please contact us at doylebyrd@gmail.com.​
