Key Resources for Youth Rec League Parents

Seasons: U4-U14 will run from May 19th to July 13th. The High School age league will run from June 4th to July 30th. High School teams will be finalized early May. 

Jerseys: All players will be issued a jersey. They are currently on order and will be distributed starting the week of May 5th at the Soccer Complex during organized practices.   

Coaches: All our coaches are volunteers so respect and appreciate them. It is extremely tough to field volunteer coaches for over 140 teams annually. If you are willing to help your coach let them know. If you know others willing to coach youth soccer contact Nick or Jess as we are still (and always) recruiting soccer coaches. 

Water Bottles & Keeper Cards: Each player will receive a free water bottle and two keeper cards and will be distributed the week of May 5th.  

Volunteering: At registration parents were charged a $30 volunteer deposit. We ask that parent volunteer 2 hours per child during the season. At the end, you are eligible to receive your $30 back, or donate it to the club for our programs and field maintenance.  >>  Volunteer SignUp

Concessions: During regular season games Monday-Thursday, the concession stand will be open from 5:15pm - 7:45pm. Please visit for a variety of drinks, snacks, and hot food. We also will apparel for sale throughout the season. 

Practices: We do not set practice times or fields for age groups. We encourage all teams to practice one time per week outside of your game times with the exception of U4 which can practice once per week on their game day. Practices must be held at the Fond du Lac Soccer Complex unless authorized by the Soccer Club President, or Rec League Coordinators. The week of May 5th is an organized practice date, the week of May 12th can be used as training, scrimmages, or a combo of both. This gives teams the chance to also partner with another coach on activities. 

Fields: All fields (with the exception of the turf field) are first come, first serve for rec league teams, however please respect other teams that may have games. Select and Academy training fields during season will be identified ahead of training starting. Dogs are NOT allowed at the soccer complex but must remain on a leash and please clean up after them. There is also no smoking allowed at the soccer complex. 

Referees: Respect all referees! We will only have referees at U9-HS age groups. We target to schedule two referees per game but some games may only have one based on availability of refs. If you know someone interested in becoming a referee for our recreation league (needs to be certified via WisRef) please sign up at FondySoccer.com under Registration and pick the selection for Referees. >> Learn more at  Fondy Soccer Referees

Weather: If games are canceled due to weather we will alert all teams via the Demosphere app, email, and post on social media. It is our goal to try and make a decision by 3pm about games. Game will be played in rain, but if lightning is spotted, games will immediately be suspended for 30 minutes. We will alert all teams if the delay is temporary or if games are canceled for the night. 

First Aide: The concession stand will be open until 7:45pm each night and will have ice packs and small first aide supplies. 

Picture Day: Due to a negative trend in picture participation the past few years, we have decided to NOT have picture days for our rec league players. With everyone having a camera in their pocket which take very nice photos, we are removing picture day from the Spring Games schedule and games will start earlier and with less chaos. 

Spring Games : All girls teams will play 2 games on Saturday, May 31st and all boys teams will play 2 games on Sunday, June 1st. Schedules for this event are included in your league schedule. 

End of Year Tournament and Festival of Games: This event will be July 12th and 13th and wrap up the season. U4-U8 girls teams will play 2 games on Saturday, and U4-U8 boys teams will play 2 games on Sunday. U9-U14 teams will games on both dates. Schedules are live for the U4-U8 and tournament play schedules for U9-U14 will be live by the end of June.
