Typical start times are between 5:00 - 6:30. Run times vary between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours based on age and field availability. For example, a U6 team may practice 5:00-5:45 while a U12 team may practice 6:00-7:30.
City of Eagle Parks and Recreation holds designated practice space and assists with assigning practices at Merrill Park and Guerber Park. As a general guide, though it may vary, U6, U8, and U12 teams will practice at Guerber Park and U10 teams will practice at Merrill.
Note: U12 teams may practice two evenings per week should field and coach availability allow.
Team Formation
Within registration you're able to provide information in regard to your child's potential team placement. Teams are formed based on the following order:
- Coach request
- Teammate request
You may list multiple players. Be sure to list first and last names to the best of your ability. - School your child attends or is nearest to your home.
You may list your child's school to be placed with others from the school. Private schools, charter schools, virtual schools, and homeschool can be listed as well and players from those schools will be placed together. Please keep in mind these options may not be in your home area and, due to overall enrollment, may have limited participation. To default to your home area simply list the closest public school. - Available roster space.
If no information is provided players are placed where need exists.
If you learn that a friend or neighbor is playing after registering simply email Dane at parks@cityofeagle.org with the player or coach name to be added to your registration information.
Note: Practice requests are not accepted. While we appreciate that families have busy schedules we cannot accommodate these requests.
Uniforms
New players will purchase a $20 uniform kit which includes reversible jersey, shorts, and socks.
Returning players may utilize their uniform from previous seasons. Returning families must remove the $20 fee during checkout and indicate this in registration.
Note: While socks are included in the uniform kit and all players' socks must match during play teams are welcome and encouraged to provide matching socks of other colors and/or designs to establish an individual team identity. Provided jersey and shorts must be worn for games but socks can be creative!
