Entries

Entries are listed below in Groups and Divisions. 

With help from team input, we have been fine tuning the Divisions and Groups since they were posted last week.   Since then adjustments have been made in  U9 Girls, U13 Girls, U14 Girls, U9 Boys, U12 Boys, and U15 Boys. While further changes are unlikely, they are still possible.

Note also the correction for the site of the U14 Girls National Division  It is scheduled to be played at Palm Bay Regional Park

The primary playing site for each Division and Group is included in the entries list on the right hand side.

Schedules will be posted before 10PM on Saturday April 26

Teams are urged to read the information posted here

Forms & Information  for Registered Teams    

so that they will be prepared for a great weekend of soccer

Important message to older teams -   SATs are scheduled for Saturday May 3. All teams will play a morning game and an afternoon game on Saturday, so it will not be possible to avoid a conflict with SATs  Be sure to check with your players to make sure they will be available to play.   If your team will not have enough players because of SATs, let us know ASAP and you will be able to withdraw for a full refund

Comments or questions can be submitted by clicking here  Contact Us    We can not accept entry or grouping inquiries by phone

Teams are listed in Divisions and Groups below

The teams are separated in to Divisions based on the available information about their relative level of play as compared to the other entries. 

The strongest, most experienced  teams are placed in the National Division.

The less experienced teams are placed in the Continental Division.

When there are more than 16 teams in an age group, the third Division is the American Division.  The least experienced teams go in the American Division.

The fact that teams are ranked in comparison to the rest of the entries means that in many cases a team can not be placed in a division until all the other entries are in and rated.

Where Teams are Playing -  We have added the primary location of games for each Division (and Group in some cases) below. 

These are the primary sites. PB = Palm Bay Regional Park   SW = Southwest Recreation Complex   GM = Gemini.Flutie Park  

HV = Hoover Junior High School  CR = Crespino Park  SA = Satellite Beach Library Fields
