Player Equipment: 
Mudsock Youth Soccer will provide a team jersey, shorts, and soccer socks for all participants in the PK - 6th grade divisions. It is not possible
for the league to order individually sized uniforms due to the ordering process/timeline for these divisions.

The 7th/8th and high school divisions, participants will be emailed a uniform order link to purchase a new uniform kit or supplement any new shorts/jersey/socks they may need for the upcoming season. Please note, most uniforms can be reused from previous years. 

Players are responsible for bringing the following items to each practice and game:

Shin guards: Players may not participate without shin guards

Ample Supply of Fresh Water

Earrings: Earrings are not allowed to be worn during games and must be removed. Placing tape over earrings is not a safe or acceptable alternative. Players are NOT permitted to wear jewelry during practice or games. Players should not pierce their ears in close proximity to the season as the earrings and other jewelry will have to be removed to play.

All recreational soccer participants will be registered through the Mudsock Youth Athletics Office.

7th and 8th Grade Rec Plus Division
We will be continuing our 7th and 8th grade rec plus option with separate boys and girls divisions. Teams will play other local teams outside of Mudsock Youth Soccer within the NCRSL program in addition to our own teams. Teams will have 2 practices per week. Players’ information will be shared with Indiana Soccer in order to register teams. Teams will play a minimum of 8 season games, perhaps more depending on scheduling. A season ending tournament will be held in Lawrence, Indiana.

Co-Ed High School (9th/10th Grade and 11th /12th Grade) Divisions
We will be continuing our high school option with divisions for 9th/10th grade and 11th/12th grade. Teams will play other local teams outside of Mudsock Youth Soccer within the NCRSL program in addition to our own teams. Teams will also have 2 practices per week. Players’ information will be shared with Indiana Soccer in order to register teams. Teams will play a minimum of 8 season games, perhaps more depending on scheduling. A season ending tournament will be held in Lawrence, Indiana.

NEW format for Spring 2023 Registration: Working with our league partners in the NCRSL, we are hoping to offer an ALL-Female option for our high school season. When you register for the high school division, you will be given the option to select an all-female or co-ed team. If you select the all-female option and we don't end up having enough females register for a full team, parents/guardians will be given the option of switching to the co-ed division or receiving a full refund. We are hopeful that this new format can help grow our league by giving our female players a choice!

Special Requests
Teams are formed by Mudsock Youth Soccer commissioners. In order to be fair and make sure teams are balanced, requests will not be guaranteed and cannot be accommodated after teams are formed. Requests may include sibling information, physical/social/emotional needs, sizing information, etc. Requests will not be accepted after registration has closed. Specific day requests for practices will not be an option. One exception, a head coach may choose one assistant coach and one player to be included on their team. If your child participates in more than one activity or sport, Mudsock Youth Soccer cannot guarantee the absence of scheduling conflicts as each league operates independently.

Families will be informed via Sports Connect of assigned practice day after registration has closed and teams are formed. Assigned field locations are made by the league based on several factors. It is not possible to honor a specific practice location request.

Season Highlights
The season will run for 8 weeks. Younger age teams will practice one weeknight and have a practice or a game each Saturday with one Sunday game scheduled during the season. Older age groups may have practices twice during the week and potentially a third practice or game(s) on the weekends. Every attempt will be made to reschedule any canceled games due to weather or field conditions for the following Sunday afternoon (8 days post).

Spring 2023
Season: April - May, 2022 (dates coming soon)

All coaches are required to submit a background check, complete online concussion training, and attend a pre- season coach's meeting (TBD).
