F.A.Q

HOW DO I REGISTER MY CHILD FOR RECREATIONAL SOCCER?

You can simply click this registration link: here. You will be taken to a registration page on our team platform; Team Snap One.  

HOW EXPENSIVE IS RECREATIONAL SOCCER WITH 90+?

90+ ALWAYS has a sliding scale for all costs based on income. The 90+ Project commits time and effort to raise funds to make sure that cost is never a barrier to participation. At registration the cost of recreational soccer will vary based on age and income; with the highest cost being $199 for a year of soccer programming including your full kit (jersey, shorts, socks).  If you have questions, do not hesitate to reach out at: admin@90plusproject.org. 

MY CHILD HAS LITTLE SOCCER EXPERIENCE. WILL THEY GET MUCH PLAYING TIME?

At the recreational level, the 90+ Coach Mentors divide playing time as equally as possible for all players, regardless of ability. You can expect your child to play at least 50% of the game time each weekend.

CAN I REQUEST TO HAVE MY CHILD PLAY WITH HIS/HER FRIEND?

The 90+ Project will seek to honor player requests whenever possible but cannot guarantee that all requests can be granted. We seek to allow players to continue current relationships and build belonging but please understand that we cannot guarantee all requests. At times age differences, player safety and team balance are factors that limit our ability to honor those requests. Requests should be made at registration or when a player (parent) fills out an application.

WHEN DO I FIND OUT WHAT TEAM MY CHILD IS ON AND THE SCHEDULE FOR THE SEASON? 

After registration your child will be placed on a team, assigned a coach and given a more detailed schedule for trainings. At the recreational level, players are usually placed onto teams about three weeks before the season. Once teams are finalized and game schedules are assigned, coaches and parents are alerted.

WHAT ARE TRAININGS LIKE? HOW MANY TRAININGS ARE THERE PER WEEK AND WHERE?

90+ Project training sessions are unique. Each session is developed by our 90+ Staff and the training session is conducted by 90+ Staff and Directors in participation with our Recreational Coaches. Coaches implement, with oversight and encouragement, the training plan and every session begins or ends with social-emotional learning centered on character, leadership development, or mental wellness.

All recreational players will practice 1x per week with 90+ trainers and team coaches. Schedules of training are determined before the start of the season with sessions being held up North @ Union Stadium and on the South Hill @ Hart Field.

WHEN AND WHERE ARE GAMES PLAYED? HOW LONG IS THE SOCCER SEASON?

The 90+ Soccer Community currently plays all recreational games at Franklin Park on Saturday mornings between 9am and 11am. The Fall season starts in September and consists of 8 games. The Spring season usually starts in April and consists of at least 6 games.

WHAT EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED FOR RECREATIONAL SOCCER?

Shin guards and cleats are required for practice and games for players playing recreational soccer. A water bottle should be brought to games and practices. Soccer balls are provided by the 90+ Project. Full (Kits) Uniforms are provided to all recreational players, which includes a sponsored jersey, soccer shorts and socks.

WHAT IF I CANNOT AFFORD EQUIPMENT?

The 90+ Project does all it can to not have finances hinder participation. To assist with equipment the project started an equipment library to provide free used soccer gear to players in need. To receive shinguards, cleats, or other equipment, check out our Library. Give and Go.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RECREATIONAL TEAMS AND PROGRAMS?

Recreational Teams: Emphasizes skill development, team play and sportsmanship through small-sided games in a positive and supportive environment. The recreational teams are coached by volunteer parents under the guidance and instruction of our licensed trainers. The emphasis is on creating a fun, learning environment while reinforcing social- emotional learning and character development.

Programs:  Taught by our 90+ Staff our varied programs provide two primary pathways for growth. For the soccer player, these programs provide a gateway for the dedicated player to advance in their skill sets and understanding of the game. The recreational player will be more prepared to join a developmental team while our developmental players will be more prepared for our advanced teams and more competitive play. As a youth development organization the other pathway for growth is person development. All of our programs include curriculum that addresses social emotional learning, mental health and character development. [Programs]

WILL SOCCER CONFLICT WITH OTHER SPORTS?

The 90+ Project encourages all kids to play multiple sports. At times seasons overlap, which may cause time conflicts.  Please inform your coach as early as possible of any/all conflicts.  They will need to plan their training/games accordingly.

DOES EVERY CHILD INVOLVED WITH 90+ QUALIFY FOR "FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH" OR IS ECONOMICALLY CHALLENGED?

The 90+ Project sees deep value in multi-sport athletes and encourages children to play multiple sports. At times seasons overlap, which may cause time conflicts, so please inform your coach as early as possible of any/all conflicts. As children get older and begin to specialize in a given sport, it is important to do all you can to plan around training/games accordingly. While we love soccer and desire for every kid to enjoy it, we put far more priority on the development of the player as a person and value the character and leadership potential of each kid.
