ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Coaching Opportunities

If you want to coach for the Rancho Cordova Soccer Club, you may check the box on the registration form and the Registrar will contact you with more information.  You do not need any special qualifications or experience to coach. The Rancho Cordova Soccer club holds a coaching clinic before the season begins, typically at the end of July. The coaching clinic will teach you how to coach a youth soccer team, offer suggestions for some practice drills, and suggest techniques that you may use for your own practices. Click on our coaching page for more information.

Team Assignment

Recreational teams are formed by the club in June & July.  Practices can begin after August 1. The assigned coach will contact you by the last week of July or first week of August for practice and team information.

Requests to Play with Coach/Team/Friends

The Rancho Cordova Soccer Club makes every effort possible to give special consideration to your request to play for a specific coach, team and/or friends (if in your age bracket), but we cannot guarantee your request. You may also indicate if you do not want to play on a particular team. All requests are kept confidential. Please indicate any requests at the time of registration.  Any requests received after the teams are formed will not be considered.

Practices

Practices for the Recreation program begin in August.  Typically, practices are two nights a week on either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday and either Early (5:00 - 6:00 PM) or Late (6:00 - 7:00 PM).  Where your child practices will depend on the age group and the size of the field. 

Games

The playing season begins in mid August till late October for U-6 teams and for U-8 to U-19 from September and each team will play 10 games scheduled on Saturdays, running until just before Thanksgiving. There is a BYE weekend the last Saturday in September and no games will be played for U-8 to U-19.  Games are normally played in the mornings or early afternoons. Teams play against other teams in our league from the Sunrise, Folsom, Fair Oaks, Orangevale and Sierra soccer clubs. You will be traveling to their field for half of your games, but we schedule the other half of your games in Rancho Cordova. Beginning at U16 or (maybe U14), recreation teams may have to travel further for games, but most are still in the greater Sacramento area.

Teams are placed into divisions in order to attempt to place teams with other teams that are similar in skill and ability. In the middle of the season, we assess the scores and records thus far to see which teams may need to move up or down a division to give them the level of competition that is right for that team. We want all players to experience the joy of victory in some games, but we also try to balance the abilities of the teams so that your child is in an environment in which he/she can compete. This is not an exact science as we must perform this balancing act across multiple soccer clubs within our League.

Each child is to play at least 50% of each game, and we highly encourage the coaches to play each child at different positions to let them experience all aspects of the game.  

Play Up Requests

The Rancho Cordova Soccer club strongly discourages “playing up” an age group, but the Board will review all requests for playing up on a case by case basis. A player cannot play up more than one age group bracket (i.e. U12 to U14 will be considered, but U12 to U16 will not). Please submit your Play Up Request in writing at the time of registration stating the reason(s) why you believe your child should play up. The written Play Up Request must be signed by the player's parent/guardian. Once the request is reviewed by the Board, you will be notified by the Club Registrar if the request was granted or denied. Playing down to a lower age group is prohibited by CYSA rules.
