Kennebunk Soccer Club

Registration Policy

The Kennebunk Soccer Club strictly adheres to its registration policies and deadlines.

a.  Open registration will end 7 days before the start of spring player evaluations.  Players with late registrations OR incomplete applications will automatically be placed on the wait list and a $20 late fee will be charged.

b.  Order of wait listed players will be determined by the date of receipt of complete registration packets

c.  In order for registration to be complete, it needs to include the following:

• Full payment (or approved written request for financial assistance - which includes late fee, if assessed).
• Complete registration online
• Birth certificate (if a first year player)

A player’s registration will be considered incomplete until all required documents/payments are received.  Player(s) will NOT be assigned to teams until payments registration is complete.  This includes any remaining balances from prior year as well as payments for the current year.

d.  All players should attend an evaluation session.  Players will not be assigned to teams during the initial assignment process unless they attend one of the two spring evaluation sessions.  If extenuating circumstances (i.e. illness, injury) prevent a player from evaluating, the parents must petition the KSC Board for an exception prior to evaluations.  That player, if at all possible, should attend their age level evaluation.  Late registrants may be required to evaluate during the summer or when practice begins. 

e.  Once an age group list (herein referred to as “list”) has reached maximum capacity, that (list) will be closed and the “wait list” approach utilized.  Wait listed players will be assigned to teams on an “as needed” basis.  The order of assignment can be found in paragraph (b) (above).  Team needs will be determined by maximum (list) size per team/division, as deemed by Soccer Maine guidelines and by the KSC Board of Directors.

f.  In the event that a (list) is filled to capacity with “on-time” registrants (as outlined by Soccer of Maine/KSC guidelines), and all efforts have been made to create more room through, 1) the creation of an additional “matching age” team, or by 2) “team blending,” in keeping with KSC selection policy, the order of that (list) will be determined as follows:

U9 through U11 Leagues – players will be selected using the chronological order of their completed registrations and payments (as determined by online registration and the registrar’s input).  Every effort will be made to accommodate all players but cannot be guaranteed.

U12 through U14 Leagues – players will be selected using the evaluation scores to create the most competitive team possible. 

g.  Every effort will be made to assign all wait listed players to teams.  However, any players remaining on the wait list after all possible assignments are made must be cut from that year’s program.  Refunds will be given to families whose players are not assigned to a team.  

h.  No refunds will be given after a player is assigned to a team.

Any exceptions to the above registrations policies/procedures require a vote of approval by the KSC Board.
