If
I missed registration, can I still sign my child up for the fall?: Yes, but
you will need to submit all of the necessary paperwork and registration
fee via mail. In order to be eligible for a travel team (ages U9
and above), these forms must be in prior to assessments. For more
information on late registration and assessments, click here.
What
age groups are eligible to participate?: The DASC
sponsors teams for boys and girls, ages 5-18.
My
child turns 5 years old this year, is s/he eligible to play?: If your
child was born after August 1, 2002, s/he is eligible for the U6 program
in Fall, 2008. For a complete Age Group Chart, click here.
What
is the difference between "travel teams" and "rec
teams"?: The DASC is a member of the Central Pennsylvania
Youth Soccer League (CPYSL), and within the CPYSL there are three
Divisions -- I, II, and III. Division I and II teams are defined as
travel divisions with Division I being more competitive. Division
III is considered a recreational division, but does play against other
local clubs.
How
far do "travel teams" travel?: All regular seasons
games are against CPYSL clubs, most of which are located in the south
central Pennsylvania area.
My
child is not interested in playing on a travel team, why does s/he have
to participate in the skill assessments?: It is not
uncommon for age groups to have multiple rec teams that could eventually
play against one another. Thus, in an effort to balance the skill
levels between these teams, we ask all players to participate in the
skill assessments held in the spring.
When
do the seasons start?: In the spring season, the U9 and
older programs will begin practice in March with games scheduled for the
first weekend of April. The U6/U8 program will begin the week of
April 19. In the fall, U9 and older programs begin practice in
early August, while the U6/U8 programs typically begin the first week of
school. Specific fall dates will be announced later.
Other
than the uniform provided by the DASC, what equipment is needed? Shin
guards are mandatory. In addition, players should bring their own
ball to practice (see next question for appropriate ball size).
Soccer cleats are not required, but most players prefer them to
sneakers. Also, players are encouraged to bring a water bottle or
other drink to practices and games.
Does
it matter what size soccer ball we bring? Yes, it
does. The U6/U8 program uses a Size 3 ball; U9, U10, U11 and U12
use a Size 4 ball; and ages U13 and up use a Size 5 ball.
I
have photos and other information I would like to include on the DASC
web-site. How do I go about doing this? The
web-site is maintained by Paul Monko, one of the Club's members at large
. If you have any information you would like included on the page,
or if you have photos that you think will add to the page, please contact
Paul at paul@hacc.edu.
The DASC reserves the right to determine what information will and will
not appear on its web-site.
