2023-2024 SJHA Soccer Season

Below is the link for NEW Spring registrants. As you know the main registration which takes place over the Summer is for both Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 seasons. It was $250 to play and $65 for the uniform.

 

This Spring registration is half price $125 to play – this would be for prior players that DID NOT register in the Fall, or registered late and were closed out.  There are two payment options $125 – no uniform and $190 with new uniform.  New registrants (IF YOU ALREADY REGISTERED IN THE FALL YOU CAN DISREGARD) must register using GotSoccer and will need a recent photo with no sunglasses or hats and a birth certificate. Registration for the Spring will be open until 3/1/24.

 

The Spring Season is scheduled to start around the end of March. Register for the Spring Season here if you did not already register in the Fall. 

 

Every student from PreK-4 to 8th grade is eligible to register. Soccer is the most popular team sport at SJHA Elementary.  We currently have 230 members in our soccer program!  All teams compete in the Staten Island Youth Soccer League.  The majority of the girl’s games are played on a Saturday and a majority of the boy’s games are played on a Sunday.  It is a multi-level process to complete our club’s registration and do so within the time frame set by the league.  Our online registration is simple. 

  • complete online registration
  • upload a current photo of the player and their birth certificate
  • update the medical information box
  • if your child “plays up” on a second team that registration fee is $25.00
 
 
If you are interested in having your child participate in our program please register online using the registration link here or below. The registration fee is $290 (INCLUDES NEW UNIFORM), payable through the GotSport registration application.  You will have to upload a birth certificate and a photo ID of your child.

Dear Pre-K 4 Parents,

Your child will be entering Pre-K 4 this September and will therefore be eligible to register for our soccer program.  It is a co-ed program that will be called “Soccer Clinic” that consists of an 8-week Fall season and an 8-week Spring season.  This will be run by members of the SIYSL.   In our experience, the most successful program is one that stresses learning and fun.  This is especially true for this young age group.  Our program’s main objectives are to:

  • Teach the fundamentals of soccer (the game, ball control, positions, good techniques)
  • Teach how to play on a sports team (teamwork, good sportsmanship, player responsibility)
  • Have a lot of fun!

 

While the program is run by the SIYSL and its youth volunteers, we still request that 2 parents volunteer to assume the role of “coach.”  At this age, it is primarily organizing the kids on the field and being present for the clinic session in the event the SIYSL needs to communicate directly with the parents.  For those interested please let us know.

Dear Kindergarten Parents,

Your child will be entering Kindergarten in September and will therefore be eligible to register for our soccer program. The Fall season will be “festival play” which is a “round robin” of training & games. This will be run by the SIYSL. The games will be on Saturday mornings during an 8-week Fall season and an 8-week Spring season.  In our experience, the most successful program is one that stresses learning and fun. This is especially true for this young age group. Our program’s main objectives are to:

  • Teach the fundamentals of soccer (the game, ball control, positions, good techniques)
  • Teach how to play on a sports team (teamwork, good sportsmanship, player responsibility)
  • Have a lot of fun!

 

Included in these training sessions will be a training program for our new coach’s.  This program is comprehensive and includes input from our own experienced coach’s, the Staten Island Soccer League, and the Staten Island Referees Association. 

Uniforms must be ordered ASAP in order to receive one in time for opening day.

Part of this program includes an orientation session (which will be held in September) for the parents of the players. This mandatory session will give you a good understanding of what is expected of the players, as well as each of you, during all soccer related activities. SJHA has a good reputation! We have a Zero Tolerance Policy for bad behavior. Upon registration you will read and agree to our parent / player contract which explains the Zero Tolerance policy.
