Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, up until a child reaches the U14 age bracket.  See the Massachusetts Youth Soccer Association's Dual Rostering Statement for more specific information.  Cape Cod ReUnited adheres to those rules and expects players and their parents to do so as well.  Please be aware, however, that scheduling conflicts will arise for dual rostered players.

In Massachusetts, 'club soccer' refers to soccer teams that draw players from a wider region than a single town, with the intent of playing at a more competitive level.  Other states may refer to these teams as 'select' or 'premier' clubs.

To provide a rich development environment, locally and affordably, for committed soccer players.

Because club soccer offers the highest level of play available in the state and its structure is based solely on merit.  For more information, see Club Soccer Anyone?

As a not-for-profit organization, we are only interested in fielding teams for age groups that have committed players and supporting parents.

These will vary from seasonal year to seasonal year.

The Fall season is 9 weeks long:  it begins in September and finishes in early to mid November; the Spring season is 7 weeks long:  it begins in April and finishes at the end of May or early June.

NOTE:  U15 and older age groups only compete in the Spring.  The Fall season is the high-school season.

Although schedules don't come out until two or three weeks before the start of the season, you should be able to plan your season(s) based on the following:

Up to age U14, the MAPLE/MASC seasonal year consists of 16 games:  9 in the fall, 7 in the spring.  All regular schedule games are on Sunday.

The fall MAPLE/MASC season is 9-weeks long, starting the Sunday after Labor Day.  So for the Fall of 2011, the first scheduled game will be September 12th and the final game will be on November 13th.  There will not be a game on Sunday, October 9th (Columbus Day weekend).  That being said, if a game is rained out or rescheduled for any other reason (although weather is usually the only reason), it can be made up anytime (even on a school night, even if it is a far-away game).

Game times are at either 1, 2:45 or 4:30, but they shift a half-hour or hour earlier after the time changes in the fall (it will affect the last two games in the Fall of 2011).  There can be anywhere from 2-6 away games, although the MAPLE/MASC league strives to have a 50/50 home and away ratio inasmuch as possible.

The spring MAPLE/MASC season ends the Sunday before Memorial Day weekend, and there are no games on Easter Sunday (4/8), so it is reasonable to expect that the game dates in the spring of 2012 will be: 4/1, 4/15, 4/22, 4/29, 5/6, 5/13 and 5/20.  Please note that there are games on both weekends bookending school vacation in April; plan accordingly: players are expected to make both games.

There is pre-season training for both fall and spring, which might involve scrimmages.

Please note that this program is not for everyone.  We are looking for committed players.  Players and parents are expected to make attendance to training sessions and games a priority.

Playing time is earned, not given.  Playing time is based on: attendance to training sessions, effort put into learning new techniques and tactics, attitude, and ability to implement in game situations what players have been taught.  Playing time may vary from match to match.

CCRU goes to great lengths to hire high quality coaches; coaches that have a singular focus on helping CCRU players develop to their best potential.  Our Coaches place a specific emphasis on creating a team environment that fosters communication with, and support for, all of our players.  Accordingly, CCRU has a strict policy of restricting any and all parent discussions with Coaches as it relates to issues such as playing time, positioning, or other tactical or strategic matters.  If a player needs or wants to talk to their Coach about such issues, the CCRU Board is committed to ensuring that that player will have an open and free opportunity to do so directly.

Yes.  Except for extraordinary circumstances (e.g., sickness, family wedding), players are expected to attend all training sessions and games.  Moreover, except for emergencies, players and/or their parents must give their coach plenty of advance notice.  Absence from training and/or games could affect playing time and excessive absence could affect status on the team.
