ABOUT THE FALL SEASON

CJSA is also moving to new birthday cutoffs for each grouping for teams. Kids will be grouped according to birthdays on or after 8/1 of each year with kids born up to 7/31 of the following year. The Playmetrics system will ask for your player’s birthdate for this reason. New Travel players will need to upload a birth certificate for age verification.

 

Travel Season: Register by Fri, June 12.  Cost is $170. Late registrations are not guaranteed a spot on a travel team. New players will receive uniforms, included in the registration. The season begins in September and runs until late October or early November. 

 

Travel Evaluations are mandatory. Evaluations are held at the Portland Rec Complex. Days and times of the Evaluations are TBD. Players bring cleats, shin guards, a water bottle, and an appropriately sized ball. Please do not wear any gear with any local children's soccer club logos.

Volunteer coaches will alternate duties depending on availability. We will attempt to group players each week based on age. A more detailed weekly plan for the players will depend on final registration numbers.

Benefits

Players will have a blast as they continue to develop dribbling, passing, and shooting skills indoors. The touches are faster and the games are higher scoring. Best of all, the kids get to stay in shape over the long winter months

Rec players enjoy the benefits of staying active each week, getting exercise and having fun as they improve their soccer skills. Interested Travel players get significant gym time, a terrific way to train in winter.

We are a volunteer-driven, non-profit organization and always welcome more volunteers.

Can you describe Travel Soccer for me?

Travel is for age-based teams by birth year and gender: girls teams and boys teams for each birth year. Teams are formed based on birthdate in a given year. Teams occasionally travel to other towns and compete in league play. Practice twice weekly. Matches are played on weekends, sometimes Saturdays and/or Sundays. Generally roughly half the matches will be home, and half away.

Options for U9 players (Birth Year 2016)

Fall registration is when players born in 2016 transition from Rec to Travel. Beginning Fall 2024, we are offering small-sided games experiences for the U9 teams right here in Portland. That means less travel and more touch on the ball.

Options for Middle School Players

If your son or daughter plans to play middle school soccer in the fall, they will expect to practice with the Middle School during the week, playing a short game from time to time, starting right after school. No games on weekends. Portland Soccer Club offers full-game experiences on the weekends, which are easier for some parents to make if they want to watch their kids play. The Portland Soccer Club coaches are often flexible with Middle School players about practices, knowing that some play on the Middle School team. They can play both! Sign up if you are interested.

What if my child is in a lower school grade than others of the same age?

The travel teams are formed based on birth year, independent of school grade. This is mandated by parent organizations, and has been in place for several years. Kids who are in lower grades have done very well in our club through the years. 

Will there be a team for my age group?

Teams will be determined after evaluations are completed by all players. The goal is to have age-based teams by gender, but it's difficult to know exactly each team's situation until we see who signs up. I'd suggest signing your player up, and recruiting their friends to sign up. After team formation the club assigns a coach to the team.

What if there aren’t enough players to field a team?

Refunds are fully provided if there aren't enough players for a team.

Are evals mandatory? 

The evals are mandatory for Travel players. They are used to understand where the players are, so that we can form teams with the players' skills and development in mind.

We ask that you please register by the posted registration close date.  Late registrants are not guaranteed a spot in our program.  There are several reasons why registration closes in advance of the season start date, including:

1. The PSC Board considers player evaluations and registration numbers to create teams that will compete in league play.  These teams need to be registered in time for league play or we will be unable to participate, significantly impacting schedules for the season.  

2.  All players at the competitive level need to have player cards issued by CJSA.  The club Registrar needs to have enough time to do all administrative work necessary to have these player cards done before the season starts.

3.  Ample lead time between team formation and game play is also necessary for ordering equipment such as uniforms.  

4.  Allowing players to register after teams are formed can lead to teams that are too large.  In these situations, playing time is impacted for players that registered on time

5.  Allowing players to register after teams are formed and entered into league play may lead to teams that are no Longer fit to compete in the particular division that they were signed up for (due to the ability level of late registrants).

6.  Allowing players to register late could impact/delay uniform orders.
