Registration Details:
When: Wednesday March 13, 5pm
Where: Gymnasium, Capitolo Playground Rec Center, 9th & Federal Streets
Cost: $30 (for the season) - cash only, NO CHECKS

The following CYSC initiatives will be available:
1.  CYSC Gear Swap - Please donate outgrown cleats/shinpads, and check the box for stuff that you can use!  If you end up having to purchase new - save 15% with THIS Modell's coupon.  Purchase your gear (soccer or otherwise) using this coupon, and at the end of the sale period, CYSC will receive a check for 5% of our collective purchases!
2.  CYSC Swag Sale - We rely on SWAG sales to fund the league!  Last year CYSC unveiled new hoodies, tees, and patches.  Of course the old classics are still available in limited stock!  Bring some dough for hats, teeshirts, patches... maybe one of each!  Support the league and sport your Capitolo Pride!
3.  Philadelphia Union Fieldtrip - we'll start collecting reservations for this season's Union Fieldtrip - July 6, 7pm v Orlando, including Independence Day fireworks!

Registration FAQ's:
Can I pay by Check or Credit Card?
No.  All CYSC dues and purchases must be paid in cash.

My child had played CYSC in the past - can we preregister?
No.  Our increased demand dictates that we limit pre-registration opportunities to league volunteers and can no longer offer "seniority" to former participants.

What do you mean volunteer, and how can I get involved?
CYSC remains a 100% volunteer effort.  Coaches, set up crews, organization/events planners - many many volunteers commit to making CYSC go each season.

Do I have to volunteer to register?No.  Volunteers have thus far preregistered about 60% of the roster.  The remaining 40% is available to anyone, volunteer or not, at open registration.

Can we combine efforts and send one person to register multiple children/families?
No.  Registrants are asked to represent their families only.  As we frequently generate waitlists upwards of 20-40 players long, registration priority will be offered to those who attend registration.  You are welcome to send a caregiver in your place.


Is there CYSC uniform/equipment requirements?
Yes.  All new players will receive the appropriate CYSC jersey/tee shirt.
(Returning players are requested to reuse last seasons t-shirt until it no longer fits.)
Equipment requirements:
     Tykes: None... they're 3 years old!
     Peewees: Cleats recommended | shinpads recommended
     Bridge: Cleats recommended | shinpads required
     Intramurals: Cleats and shinpads required for participation in all practices/games

All additional questions can be directed to the volunteers at registration.  As always, please refer this info to any/all interested parties, or have them email us at capitolosoccer@gmail.com to get on the email list.


We look forward to seeing everyone in September!
1...2...3... Go Capitolo!
