Below is the procedure used in forming teams for the Hoover Soccer Club Recreational Program. Please keep in mind that our first goal is to find a team for every player that wishes to participate. However, we must keep teams as equal as possible in regards to their roster sizes. Although there may be a “spot” available on a certain team, we need to make sure all teams are equal as possible and meet roster minimums.

NOTE – coaches can NOT offer spots!

  • All returning (or continuing) players requesting to return to the same team from the previous season are placed first.
  • If a player misses a season, they are considered “new” when signing up and will be placed after returning players
  • Requests are fulfilled on a first-come first-serve basis after all returning players are placed.
  • Play-up requests will be considered on a “first-come, first-serve” basis once all players are placed.
