This information is still being developed. Answers to some of our FAQs are here
and we are adding to the information regularly.
1) Can my child play football with WCSA and still play other sports as well?
Yes, each season we have numerous multi sport players. Our schedules and game
times are designed to make multiple sports easy and fun.
2) Do we have to buy the equipment?
No, all necessary equipment is provided with a $300 equipment deposit to secure
its return. We do not cash this check but hold it until the end of the season or until the player becomes inactive during
the season and the equipment is returned.
The player will only need to provide cleats and a mouthguard.
3) When are practices?
The first practice of the season will take place approximately 3 weeks before the first
game. This is a league wide practice and teams are not formed until after this practice.
After this practice, teams are formed and players and coaches are notified of their team
assignments. Team coaches will then organize 2 / 2 hour practices per week with one practice taking place on Sunday
afternoon and the other practice will be scheduled according to the coaches' schedule.
This schedule will will continue until first game day. Once the games have begun,
there is 1 hour before each game scheduled for practice and the coaches may continue additional 1 practice per week until
after game 3. After game 3 there is no additional mid week practice allowed and only practices are 1 hour before each
game.
3) My player is 11 but only weighs 60 lbs. Can he still play?
Yes, this player would be assigned to a team in the Under 80 Lb Division regardless
of his age.
4) My player is only 7 years old but weighs 90 lbs. Would he be playing with older boys?
No, your player woudl be assigned to teams in the UNder 80 Division with players
of comparable age. Although weight is a primary paramter for division placement, we also take into account age
and physical maturity and ability when placing a player.
5) Can my son's friends play on the same team?
As long as both boys are in the same weight and age division they can play together.
Note: There are limits to numbers of team mate requests that can play on the
same team. As long as teams are formed with the same average weight, age and ability full teams can be formed from requests.
However, we do not allow teams to be formed with averages of undersized, oversized, older, younger or experience and
ability to be formed. This results in imbalances one way or the other in parity of the league as a whole and never results
in a good experience for anyone.
Up to 4 team mate requests are never a problem and balanced teams can formed around those
players. Team mate requests of more than 4 players require league approval and usually require a head coach to come
from the ranks of the players who request to play together.
6) Is the league Co-Ed?
Yes, we have had many girls play on teams with us and have thoroughly enjoyed
what they bring to the game.
