HOUSE SOCCER House Soccer FALL SEASON AF Grade: Pre-K to 10 House league soccer is a Glen Ellyn Park District program run with the assistance of Glen Ellyn Youth Soccer Organization (GEYSO). The program teaches soccer skills while promoting good sportsmanship, physical conditioning and having fun. There are nine age levels for boys and girls. The program relies solely on volunteer parents to coach and coordinate teams. Additional information about the program can also be found at gepark.org/house-soccer. (bt) Interested in Coaching? In accordance with the GEYSO policy, teams will be reorganized each season. The child of a coach is assigned to the team the parent is coaching. Individuals volunteering to serve as head coaches ONLY, may request one (1) assistant coach whose child will be assigned to that team. Volunteers will be notified by telephone if they are needed as coaches.

Frequently Asked Questions How does the Buddy System work? The Buddy System is designed to allow players to sign up with a friend in order to ensure they know at least one player on their team. To complete the request, each player must enter the other player's name in the "Requested Buddy" field on the Athletic Registration Form (e.g. John would enter Jane and Jane would enter John). There is a limit of one buddy request per player. Unless both players request each other, there is no guarantee they will be placed on the same team. We will not accept any other requests for teammates. Do siblings play on the same team? Siblings playing in the same age group will automatically be placed on the same team unless there is a request to separate them. Can I request a specific coach? Teams will be organized as much as possible by geographic area/school, dependent on the number of coaches available from each area. Requests for specific coaches are not accepted. The child of a coach is assigned to the team the parent is coaching. Should I register my daughter for Girls or Co-Rec (3rd-6th grade only)? Co-Rec teams usually consist of 1-2 girls per team with the majority of the roster being made up of boys. Girls teams will be made up of only girls and they will only play other all girls teams. What equipment does my child need? Players must bring their own ball to practice. Shin guards must be worn under socks and all eyewear must be protective. Kids will be provided a t-shirt (pre-K to 2nd) and jersey/shorts (3rd to 10th) for their uniforms. Jewelry is not permitted. PROGRAM CONTACT 94 Brad Thomas [email protected] (630) 942-7288
