RECREATIONAL SOCCER

Please note - If you did not play in Fall 2021 you and your player will need to make a NEW account with Got Sport with your child's *birth certificate and an accurate email address to ensure you receive club newsletters and announcements regarding registration.

Going forward, DPSFC will follow the South Texas Youth Association (STYSA) age eligibility chart. The player brackets are determined by the calendar year the player is born - not the age of the player.

Download the STYSA Age eligibility chart here.

Deer Park Soccer FC encourages all players, parents & coaches to sign up and download the SportsYou app. We will use this to schedule games, practice and general communications from the league.

• South Texas Youth Soccer Association (STYSA - https://www.stxsoccer.org/ )
• Houston Youth Soccer Association (HYSA - https://www.houstonyouthsoccer.com/ )
• San Jacinto Independence Youth Soccer Association ( https://www.sjiysa.org/ )

We utilize two locations for Deer Park Soccer FC, the Deer Park Soccer Complex & Dow Park.

Please check your email (and communications from your coach) to identify where your practice is located.

During the Fall seasons, the 9U and up age brackets play with Goalies.  The 8U and under age brackets do not play with Goalies.

Since the Spring season is a development season, typically none of the age brackets play with a Goalie during the Spring.  However, the Board will evaluate prior to the start of each season if any modifications of the game rules should or need to be made (including use goalies).  Any modifications to the Game Rules will be published on the DPSFC website.

The registration fee for recreational soccer is only a one time charge. We want to focus on affordable soccer for all kids.

For the Competitive and Club program, please contact DPSFC at info@dpsfc.com for details on these year long programs.  

The difference in the registration is to cover the additional expense for the older age group's uniforms (since they are larger sizes they cost more) and registered referees.

• Group practices are targeted to begin the week of 3/01/23 if all teams have a volunteer coach
• Games will run from March - May, 2023.
• U4-U6 players will have one group training session per week and a possible team session depending on the coach and the team.
• U7+ players will have one group training session and one coach-led session per week.

Group training dates have not yet been determined, and are based on final registration numbers.

We always need volunteer coaches, and no matter how many ways we ask, we never have enough. Please, help us from the beginning and register to be a volunteer coach! We rely on volunteers for the success of our seasons and organization. You can register to be a coach during the player registration process.

Visit our Coach's Corner page for coaching resources and information.

You are able to cancel your paid registration prior to the published close of registration and receive a full refund. Any request to cancel a registration after the published close of registration will be reviewed by the Board for refund approval on a case by case basis.  An administrative fee will be deducted from any approved refund after the published close of registration.  

Refund requests should be submitted to the DPSFC Secretary (secretary@dpsfc.com)and Treasurer (treasurer@dpsfc.com).
