Which team is my child on

All the rosters will be available to you through the “SportsEngine” app.  You will need download the app on your smart phone through either Google Play (Android phone) or the App Store (iPhone) depending on the device that you own.  Once logged in, you should be able to view your child’s roster and share information with your coaches and fellow teammates.    Alternatively, you can log on using a computer using the SportsEngine website at The Home of Youth Sports | SportsEngine .

 What to bring each week

 All players are to:

1. Dress in our red/black team uniform (black or red t-shirts will work)
2. Bring a number 3 soccer ball
3. Wear cleats (recommended) or sneakers
4. Wear shin guards under your socks
5. Bring liquid drinks for hydration

It’s a good idea to label your child’s soccer ball and water bottle with your child’s name or initials so we can find their rightful owners if misplaced.

Uniforms can be ordered through MT. SINAI OFFICIAL CLUB STORE (newgensportsgroup.store). See our website for more details.  Socks, cleats, soccer balls, and shin guards can be purchased at the store of your choice.

For those who do not have uniforms yet, your child shou  ld bring both a RED and a BLACK t-shirt to wear as a substitute. Please be aware that players may be asked to change shirt colors before or during games.

Where we play

All games are currently scheduled to be played on the grounds behind Mount Sinai Elementary School.

Meeting Places

The field will be labeled with lawn signs numbered 1 through 4.

It’s simple this year! Just meet your team by the number that matches your team’s number.

Your team will meet your at the same place each week.

The playing formats per age group

(NOTE:  We are returning to the 30 minutes practice/30 minutes game format)

Each team will warm-up/practice for a minimum of 30 minutes with their teams prior to playing their scheduled games.

The game formats are as follows:

U4/5 Division (Players born in 2019 and 2020)                                                                4v4 (without goalkeepers)

U6 & U7 Division (Players born in 2017 & 2018)                                                                  6 v 6 (with goalkeepers) 

U8/9/10 Division (Players born in 2016 - 2012)                                                                    7 v 7 (with goalkeepers)

The rules of soccer will be explained and taught to the players by our trainers and coaches as deemed appropriate for each age group.  Often these games will be stopped for instruction or demonstration of the rules to the players.  Timed breaks for water and for player substitutions will be given based on the age groups.

We will not be keeping scores or standings.

Mid -Week Practices

Our training schedule is listed below but can also be found on our website in the Intramurals section.

All practices will be conducted by ETA, our professional training group.  Coaches are strongly encouraged to attend these practices to help reinforce the skills that were taught to the players and chip-in where needed. 

Inclement Weather Policy

We generally play soccer in the rain.  Sessions will only be postponed if the weather is severe.  Severe means thunder and lightning, below freezing temperatures, and heavy rain and/or poor field conditions.   I will send emails if postponements are warranted.

1. Any player accepted for registration with MSYS shall be required to pay the full registration fee and any other fees paid by other players.

2. There shall be no refunds of registration fees paid on behalf of any player.

3. In the event any player registers late there will be no proration of registration fees or other fees required to be paid by any such player.
