General Information

This is a Recreational League. Winning is not emphasized and scores are not recorded. The emphasis is on fun, fitness, making new friends, sportsmanship and learning the sport.

App: Download the 'Team Sideline Team Sites' app on your phone to see rosters and schedules.

Appropriate dress: Children should wear shin guards and supportive running shoes or rubber cleated soccer shoes (no steel cleats or football cleats).

T-shirts/jerseys are not included in the program fee. Pinnies are used at the site to identify each team. Please ask for them from and return them to the referee after each game. Teams can organize their own jerseys, if desired, at the cost of each family. Ad Madison has great prices! Speak with Debra at Ad Madison, 608-275-7888. Let Ad Madison know that you are affiliated with MSCR.

Treats: You do not have to provide treats for the children. If providing treats to children, choose healthy snacks, no sugar drinks (sugar dehydrates the body).

Bathrooms: Port-a-potties are available on site. Schools are not open on Sundays.

Practice: Ball bags containing balls, cones and a ball pump are loaned to each team for the season. Coaches, please return to the referee at the last game marked with your team name. If your team needs a ball bag, please contact the MSCR Office at 608-204-3000. MSCR does NOT coordinate practice times or locations. MMSD fields have a first come, first use policy. Many teams practice prior to the game.

Team size: We recommend that 3v3 teams (ages 3-6) have 6-10 players on each team and 6v6 teams (ages 7-12)  have 10-14 players on each team. Coaches can use their discretion in this area based on the needs of your team. Playing time per child is reduced for larger teams.
