Question: What age group should I sign up for?

Age groups are calculated by calendar year. What this means is that if a player turns 11 on any day of the year 2008, he will play in an U11 team. Please visit our Register to Play for more details.

Question: How much will it cost?

Under 11 to Under 16 boys - $250

Question: What do I need to play?

Sandringham Soccer Club official shorts and socks must be worn and can be purchased from Echo Sport, 411 Hampton St. Hampton. Team shirts are supplied by the club at cost.

Question: How will I be assigned to a team?

As the FFV competition from U11's and older is a graded competition, depending on player numbers our club will be creating an "A" team from the pool of available players in any age group. Grading sessions will be held for boys in any age group prior to team assignments. Final team assignments will be made as soon as possible following the March 1st registration deadline. You will be contacted by your team manager or coach regarding your team assignment and training time.
Consideration will be given to friendship groups when making team assignments for boys who are on teams other than “A' teams. Please indicate on your registration form if you have a friend who you want to play with.
Please visit our Club Policies for more information about our grading and team assignment guidelines.

Question: When and where does training occur?

Generally, each team has a weekly training session of approximately 1 1/2 hours duration. It is up to the coach to determine which day of the week that is best suited to his schedule. If there is a day on which you cannot train, please indicate this on your registration form.
Training is usually conducted at Spring Street in Sandringham (Melways Ref: 77 A12).
