Every player should hear from a coach by 7:00 PM on August 24 (often sooner). Coaches are volunteers; some get organized faster than others. If you haven't been contacted by then, email jacksonfc1@aol.com.
Practice schedules are decided by each team's volunteer coach once teams are set. Teams may or may not practice before opening day on August 29 — it's a coach-and-team decision.
Teams can't form without parent volunteers. No experience required — current coaches are happy to help you learn. Sign up during the registration process. Every coach completes a background check before coaching. Coaches also get first priority off the waitlist.
U4–U7: Friend requests welcomed — note them in the special-requests field of your registration form, and we accommodate when we can. U8 and above: Players may be drafted across teams. Only head-coach and assistant-coach kids are guaranteed a spot on the same team.
JFC provides two jerseys per player. Families bring:
Field prep day starts around 8:00 AM. We need lots of hands — field lining, setup, and other tasks. No experience needed; plenty of folks will teach you. Great source of community service hours for students.
Because of team-size limits and the need for enough players to field a team, JFC cannot guarantee placement on a team in U11–U19 if the team is full or if too few players register. Register before August 7 and there should not be any problem placing your child. If we cannot place your child, you'll receive a full refund.
Coed teams may form based on registration counts — we balance the schedule across girls' and boys' teams. If too few players register in U11, U12, U13, or U14 to form a team, fees are refunded.
Questions? Email jacksonfc1@aol.com any time — we're happy to help.
Early-bird pricing runs through June 30 — $10 off every age band.
