Registration

  • Can You Place My Son/Daughter On A Specific Team?

    In the program’s best interest and to prevent the “stacking” of teams, we do not accommodate requests for players to be placed on specific teams, except for special needs players with special medical accommodations.

  • Who Can Play Recreational Soccer?

    Strongsville Soccer’s recreational soccer league, also known as the In-house league, is open to boys and girls who are both residents and non-residents of the City of Strongsville. The league is open to children aged 4 to 14 years. (Players must turn 4 years old by August 1st to play in the fall season and by April 1st to play in the spring season.)

  • I've Registered My Son/Daughter And Registration Ended, When Will I Hear From My Coach?

    Teams are typically finalized a week to two weeks before the start of the season, at which point coaches will reach out and introduce themselves and communicate practice days/times. You may check if your son/daughter has been assigned to a team, and if they have, who their coach is by logging into your TeamSnap account. Please understand that we cannot provide this information any sooner.

Schedules

  • When Do Schedules Come Out? When Is Our First Practice?

    Schedules are typically released at least one to two weeks before the first games. We cannot set schedules until teams are filled and coaching accommodations are met. Your coach determines practice days and times, and you will be notified through TeamSnap.

  • When Do Seasons Take Place?

    We have both fall and spring outdoor seasons. The fall season starts around Labor Day and ends by the end of October. The spring season starts in April and continues until late May, with a tournament weekend for ages U7 and up. There are no games on Labor Day weekend or Memorial Day weekend.

  • When And Where Are The Games Played?

    Games are typically held on Saturday mornings/early afternoons at the Ehrnfelt Soccer Complex. Ehrnfelt Soccer Complex is located on Foltz Industrial Parkway. Please consult your player’s schedule in TeamSnap for his/her specific field location. The field maps can be found on our website.

  • When Do Teams Practice?

    Teams typically practice once per week at local elementary schools or parks – your coach coordinates times and locations. Parents will be notified of practice schedules via TeamSnap.
