Usually Spring practices start in March (weather permitting) with games starting in April. Games will run through early May with a tournament following the regular season.
When and where are practices: All practices are at our home fields at the Batavia Township Park on Clough Pike. Coaches submit a request for practice schedule at the beginning of the season. Day and frequency are determined by the coaches. Typically, coaches practices twice a week for 60 – 90 minutes, Monday through Thursday although Friday practices are permissible. It is not uncommon for our U6 and U7 teams to practice only once a week. Practices typically start about a month before the regular season of play and continues through the tournaments.
When and where are games played: Games are on the weekends unless there is a rainout that cannot be rescheduled on the weekends. In this case games will be played during the week at a time and place that is the most convenient. You will have games on both Saturday and Sunday each weekend expect for the occasional BYE. Saturday games can start as early as 9am and as late as 4pm while Sunday games start at 1pm and as late as 4pm. All home games are at our fields at the Batavia Township Park on Clough Pike. Away games are played at fields of other clubs in CCSA.

We allow younger kids to play in the spring. Kids must be 4 years old prior to the first game to be eligible for the spring. When registering your 4 year old for spring you will most like need to email us to manually register your child in the system. Parents need to realize that our youngest age group is comprised of 4, 5, and a few 6 year old kids. Please check the date of birth requirements on the U6 Dribblers registration before emailing about whether your child is eligible.
Coed teams: Our U6 Dribblers program is Coed. Athletes may play on coed teams if there are not enough kids in their respective grouping.

How do I register: Visit our website, www.westclermontsoccerclub.com, and click on our registration button. If you are a first time user, you’ll need to create an account.

What is the cut-off for registrations: Dates change from year to year so you’ll need to visit our schedule of events (home tab) section to get specifics. For the spring we typically commit to the number of teams in early March while in the fall we commit to the number of teams in early July. We base our team numbers on the number of kids who register so it is important that you register early. We can continue to add players to committed teams for a few more weeks but cannot add teams if we get a late rush of players. The cut-off for teams allows volunteers to develop a game schedule for all of CCSA which takes a few weeks of dedicated time.
