REGISTRATION

Team Registration: Your coach or team parent needs to register the team online. During registration we'll need your team name, jersey/shirt color you’re planning to wear, a few questions about your initial roster, and the first deposit paid ($275).
Waivers & Roster: After registering, print the Waiver and Roster form. Each player's parent/guardian must sign a waiver. You can submit them individually or as a team. Rosters and waivers are due at the first game.

PAYMENTS

All payments are made online by the coach/team manager.
You can pay in full or choose an installment plan during registration.
Installment plans automatically split the fee into weekly payments.
Players will pay their portion to the coach/team manager, not directly to Mockingbird.

LEAGUE RULES

Team Size: The minimum number of players required on your roster is 8 players. In general, there is no maximum, but consider registering two teams if you have more than 16 to ensure playing time for all players.
Age: Players must be 13-18 years old. Only players currently enrolled in middle and high school are allowed to participate. Absolutely players who have already graduated high school. We may ask for school ID. Players of middle school age are allowed to play but only after MVSC approval. Player safety is of great importance.
Adult Supervision: A coach or team parent must be available to be present on the sidelines for every game if deemed necessary by MVSC staff. Sportsmanship is also of great importance.
Team Gear: All players must wear matching color shirts/jerseys. Bring an alternate color in case of a color clash. The second team on the schedule must change if colors match. Wearing shin guards is highly recommended. Flat-soled soccer or tennis shoes only (no cleats).
