Do I have to live in Ivins to play in Ivins Soccer? No you do not have to live in Ivins to play in our league. We allow participants from anywhere in Washington County to play in Ivins Soccer, however ALL GAMES ARE PLAYED IN IVINS.
How are teams put together? Our teams are put together by SCHOOL...NOT neighborhood. Please keep in mind if you are registering your child from an outside area (Diamond Valley, Little Valley, Washington City, etc.) we cannot guarantee that your child will be on a team with other players from your area.. Because we are a recreational program, we reserve the right to divide players from schools up to equally distribute experience and to prevent the "stacking" of teams.
Can I request a teammate or specific coach? We work very hard to keep our program RECREATIONAL. In order to do that, we DO NOT allow friend or coaches requests - regardless of carpool needs, family needs, etc. If you volunteer to coach, you will be made the coach of your child's team - but we do not allow coaches to request assistant coaches or other players - NO EXCEPTIONS.
Can I request my child be moved into an older or younger age bracket? Unfortunately do not allow ANY players to move up or down in age brackets. NO EXCEPTIONS. Our teams are put together by birthdates, NOT SCHOOL GRADE, so your child may be playing with children in a different grade depending on their birthdate.
What is required if I choose to coach? All coaches must be 18 years of age or older and are required to pass a background check each season regardless of having coached for us before. The background check is paid for by Ivins soccer and MUST be completed before you can begin coaching, pick up uniforms or the coaching equipment. Ivins soccer provides each coach a team ball and training cones that are yours to keep at the end of the season.
Practices are not mandatory, HOWEVER we do recommend that each team U7 and older hold one practice per week NO LONGER than one hour. For U5 - U6 teams we recommend a practice NO LONGER than 30 minutes once a week. For U4 players we recommend you have the players come 15 minutes before the game for a "warm up".
** If you are volunteering to coach from OUTSIDE the area (Diamond Valley, Little Valley, Washington City, etc.) we ask that all practices be held at a location that is central to Ivins, Santa Clara or the west side of St George. We cannot ask parents to take their children to outside areas such as Diamond Valley or Little Valley for practices. **
How much does it cost to play? It is $50 per player and that includes a full uniform (soccer jersey, soccer shorts and soccer socks) 5-6 games and a medal at the end of the season.
When and where are the games played? ALL games are played on WEEK NIGHTS (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday nights) at Unity Park in Ivins located at 200 W. 400 S.
What is your refund policy? Refunds will not be issued after Feb. 4th, 2024. Due to the need to order team uniforms and pay non refundable league fees, refunds are not issued after registration closes.
If an age bracket does not have enough players due to lack of player registration, you will be issued a full refund.
Refunds are not given if a player moves, there is a change parent/guardian work schedules, or any other non-league related changes. Participation in Ivins Soccer, even at the recreational level, may result in injury. Ivins Soccer does not refund players’ fees if a player is injured.
Any season cancelled PRIOR TO THE SEASON STARTING due to issues or complications related to a pandemic, natural disaster or any other unforeseen circumstances, will result in players being eligible to receive their full uniform and a partial refund. Once the season has begun, NO REFUNDS will be issued.
In some cases, we may need to delay the start of the league. This may be due to uniform delays, teams needing coaches, etc. We reserve the right to delay the start of the season, and will incorporate all planned games into the revised schedule to the best of our ability. Delayed start dates for the league are not grounds for a refund.
We always do our best to play all scheduled games in a season. If games have to be postponed due to weather, facility issues, or any other reason, we will do our best to make the games up at the same location. In some cases the game location may be changed in order to make the games up.
Games will be made up in the best possible form which may include, but not be limited to, multiple games in one night or games held on a non-league night of the week. Refunds will not be issued if games cannot be made up or if a player is unable to attend the scheduled make up game.
All requests for a refund must be submitted in writing to [email protected]. Refund requests received before Feb 4th, 2024 will receive a full refund.
