program teaches soccer skills while promoting

having fun. There are nine age levels for boys

parents to coach and coordinate teams.

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

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.
