Registration, Evaluation, and Team Composition: Grades 4-8
We appreciate your help in making this year's registration process fast and easy. We hope
you'll take advantage of the opportunity to register using the available online form. Please register before 5/30 to avoid a $25 late fee.
Step 1:
Review the age categories and team placement philosophy.
| Category | Grade: Fall 2008 | Placement Philosophy |
U10
U11
U12 | 4
5
6 | We place all registered players on a team. When we compose two teams for a single age level, we make every attempt to balance the teams. |
U13
U14* | 7
8 | There is one team for each age level. The roster of each team is limited to 18 players. |
*Note: "U14" literally means that every player on the team must be "Under 14" at the start of the season. Players in grade 8 who turn 14 before August 1, 2008 are not eligible.
For more details on eligibility, please review our policies.
Step 2:
Register directly with the Colts by May 8, 2008.
You can register by mail from now through May 8, or you can register in person on May 8 at YES from 7:00-8:30PM.Register before 5/30 to avoid a $25 late fee.
To register by mail:
- Complete the online registration form required by Soccer Maine. *Note: This form does not work on Macintosh computers.
- If you are new to Colts, provide a copy of your child's birth certificate. We already have copies on file for returning players.
- Make your $110.00 check payable to "Yarmouth Colts". For U13/U14 players who are not selected, we will refund the full amount.
- Mail the participation fee and copy of birth certificate (for new players only) to:
Elizabeth Murphy
7 Acorn Circle
Yarmouth, ME 04096
To register in person, please bring the same items with you.
Step 3: Attend the appropriate evaluation session.
At the U10-U12 levels, we use the evaluation sessions to determine player ability and then compose balanced teams. At the U13 and U14 levels, we use evaluation sessions to select 18 players for each team.
Because the U13 and U14 teams are selective, we prefer to evaluate the players throughout the full week of Colts Camp so we have the best possible chance to assess ability and attitude.
