This is a Rec Soccer League. Soccer should be fun. We appreciate you chose our club for your child to play soccer. We look forward to a great soccer season.
We expect good sportsmanship from players, coaches and parents.
We play soccer in the rain. We only cancel if there is lighting or our fields may be damaged. We will post all rain outs on our web site and send out mass emails and text messages.
If a score is lopsided, we expect the other team to hold back and move players to try to make it more competitive and fun. It’s no fun for either team to have a score of 10 to 0.
Parents sit on the opposite side of the field from the coaches and players. If we see you on the coach’s side, you will be asked to move.
Dress for the weather. Layers are recommended.
Do not sit behind the goal.
No dogs allowed on the fields.
No smoking around the concession stand or game fields.
Have your child bring a water bottle to every practice and game. Shin guards are mandatory at all games. Have your child dress appropriately for the weather. Layers are always helpful. The fields are always colder or hotter than your house.
We will be having organized practices on Tuesday and Thursday We are doing this to improve technical training for the players to enhance their development as soccer players. Secondly, it will allow the Director of Coaching Mooch King and the Rec DOC the opportunity to evaluate and recommend players to our competitive teams as we see players train. And finally, it will provide education and assistance to our volunteer parent coaches with ideas to conduct additional training sessions and about the game of soccer if they do not have any prior experience.
These will be mandatory practices and all the players for that age bracket no matter which team will participating together. These practices will be conduct behind the maintenance shed at Jacobs Park starting August 28th and will go on every Tuesday and Thursday until the last week of season.

Snack Pack: If you forget your child’s treats, we sell “snack packs” in the concession stand. A snack pack is a juice box and a treat. The treat can be a Rice Krispy treat, fruit snack, or animal crackers.
Volunteer Schedule: We ask each team to volunteer at least one time in the concession stand during the season. This is for ONE HOUR. We do not hire employees, all of us are volunteers. This is how we keep your cost low. WE need you to sign up and assist us. We do not expect the coaches to volunteer. They already volunteer by coaching your child. A board member will be in the concession stand to help you. This is very easy. WHEN YOU FAIL TO SHOW UP, FOR YOUR VOLUNTEER DUTY, A BOARD MEMBER HAS TO FILL IN AND MAY MISS THEIR CHILD’S GAME.
Equipment exchange: If you have gently used cleats or shin guards your child has out grown please bring them to the soccer fields and place them on the soccer table near the concession stand. If you need shin guards or cleats take them from the exchange table.
Parade of teams: October 20th will be the parade of teams. All players and coaches will parade onto the soccer field between the JV and Varsity UTHS Boys soccer game. Players and coaches will stand with the teams for the National Anthem and will be announced as they exit the field. Players and coaches will be admitted to the game for free. More details will be sent out closer to the date.
Concession Items: The concession stand is featuring Whitey’s Ice Cream and grilled items to include delicious brats, cheese burgers and pork tenderloins. For breakfast try our Happy Joes breakfast pizza, donuts, or the best hot chocolate in East Moline! We now accept debit cards at the concession stand.
If you have a problem, concern, or suggestion please contact a board member. Normally a board member can be found in the garage or concession stand.
Please do not take your complaints to social media. Do not post negative comments about other players, coaches teams or the program. If you have a complaint, let us know.
Watch our web site for up to date information. If you change your phone number or email address, please let us and your coach know so we can notify you of important information.
Krispy Kreme Fundraiser: Forms passed out at the kick off. Due on Sept. 8th. Will be returned on Sept. 22nd.
Thank you for putting your child in our program. We appreciate the time you are giving to attend practices and games. Thank you for your support! We look forward to a great soccer season.
