2. When will my child practice? Practice schedules are determined by the coaches. You’ll get this information along with practice location and other orientation type of information at the end of March or early April during a parent meeting.
   
   
3. Where will my child play? U6 children play exclusively at the Grignon Home fields in Kaukauna. U8 children play between the Grignon Home fields in Kaukauna and fields in Little Chute, Kimberly and Darboy. U9 – U19 children play anywhere from Green Bay to Fond du Lac. Generally the younger ages play only in Kaukauna, Kimberly, Appleton, Neenah, and Menasha. Schedules are made according to how many teams in each age group that register. They try to split divisions to keep travel as close to home as possible for all teams.

5. What does the registration fee cover? It covers referee fees, jerseys, goals, nets, district and state dues, practice balls and pinnies, first aid supplies, coaching licenses, printing, mailing and registration expenses.

7. Can I request to have my child on the same team as a friend or with a certain coach? Teams are made according to neighborhood or “side of town” as best as possible. This allows for easier carpooling and a greater chance of at least some kids knowing each other on each team. You can make request to be with one other child in writing at the time of registration – BUT NO REQUEST IS A GUARANTEE.
   
   
8. Why do I have to show proof of age? You must show proof of age at the time of registration for first time players to ensure that children of the same age are playing together for safety and fairness.
