FAQs

1. Q: How does individual sign-up work?
   A: Simply register your child for their age division. We'll create balanced teams from all registered players, ensuring a fair and fun experience for everyone.

2. Q: What if my child wants to play with a friend?
   A: While we can't guarantee placement, you can note friend requests during registration. We'll do our best to accommodate while maintaining team balance.

3. Q: Why are there no practices included in the MYDL program?
   A: The MYDL is designed as a complement to our LilKickers and Skills Institute classes. The league focuses on game-based learning and skill application, allowing players to put into practice what they learn in these developmental classes. While the league itself doesn't include separate practices, each game day provides opportunities for warm-up, skill development, and practical application of soccer techniques in a fun, supportive environment. We strongly encourage players to participate in our LilKickers (for younger ages) or Skills Institute classes alongside the MYDL. These classes offer focused training sessions that align perfectly with MYDL games, creating a comprehensive development program for young players. This combination of structured training and game play provides an ideal environment for your child's soccer development. To learn more about our LilKickers and Skills Institute classes and how they can support your child's growth in the MYDL, please visit  Lil'Kickers (6 and under) or Skills Institute class information page.

4. Q: Does my child need to be in Lil'Kickers or Skills Institute to join MYDL?A: While it's not required, we highly recommend it for the best developmental experience.

5. Q: What should my child bring to games?
   A: Water bottle, shin guards, and appropriate indoor tennis or indoor short turf shoes. The league jersey will be provided.

6. Q: Is there a minimum skill level required?
   A: No, we welcome players of all skill levels and focus on individual development.
