JYA U6 - U8 WINTER Soccer Program 2022-23
Registration is CLOSED!
Hello JALL & JYA Families!
We are pleased to announce the launch of our 2nd JYA Indoor Winter Soccer season! While we are preserving some of the format from last season there are some trade-offs that we wanted to make in order to make this program accessible/affordable to our community. In the spirit of transparency the cost of field hours have increased substantially which was the catalyst for some of these changes.
The biggest change to this upcoming season will be the practice/game schedules and season duration. Last year we were hosting a weekly mid-week practice and playing a game on Sunday afternoons for 10 weeks. This year we are eliminating the weekend games and will be playing only during the weekdays for 12 weeks.
We will be playing on Tuesdays and Thursdays with start times at 5:00-6:00. Please note that your team will play on Tuesdays and Thursdays and this will alternate throughout the season.
The grid below helps show the changes from last season to this upcoming season.

Other details to know:
- JYA sees our Indoor Winter Soccer season as an extension of our Fall Soccer program (similar to how Fall Ball is an extension of Spring Baseball). In general we assume that most of our players would be coming over from the Fall program with the basic skills and concepts of the game.
- JYA does not see our Indoor Winter Soccer season as a continuation from your current Fall Soccer Team. That is, we don’t roll your existing team over to a new season so expect new coaches, new players, and new families to meet.
- Player and Coach requests:
- This is another change from previous years. We need to limit the amount of player requests as it has become difficult to manage.
- If you need to be paired with another family for logistical purposes JYA will work to honor those requests. These are due by the conclusion of registration, which is November 28.
- All requests should be submitted to our league coordinator, Ryan, at [email protected].
- Refunds:
- Once a player is registered JYA will not be able to provide refunds. This is largely due to expenses (fields, jerseys, insurances, etc…) being paid in advance of the season.
