Recreational Soccer

Come join Fishers Soccer Club for our 2009/2010 soccer season. FSC offers a complete line of developmental, travel, and recreational soccer opportunities for players 4 years old through High School who reside in the Hamilton Southeastern School District.

Recreational Soccer Registration Options

FSC registers all recreational soccer players through SPORTS. Walk-in registration sessions are held in May
and January. Our 2009/2010 options include:

Full-Year. Players register in May for full-year soccer. Full-year players will be assigned to teams which
will play together in both the fall and spring sessions.
Fall-Only. Players register in May for fall-only soccer. These players will be assigned to teams that play
only in the fall session.
Spring-Only. Players register in January to play in our spring session. These players may be placed on
existing teams or on new teams created for the spring session. The club will determine where a player is placed
based on team needs.

Players planning on trying out for one of our travel teams in June should NOT register for recreational soccer in May. Any player who does not make one of our travel teams or chooses not to accept an offer to play on one of our travel teams will be provided an opportunity to register for recreational soccer at the conclusion of the tryouts. The player’s team placement will not be impacted by the post tryout registration.

SPORTS will not release player registration forms to FSC until full payment received in the SPORTS office or a scholarship has been granted due to financial hardship. SPORTS registration, IYS player registration, and uniform

After February 12, 2010. Refund requests for hardship cases including player injury, relocation, and financial hardship will be reviewed and authorized by the Director on individual case basis.
