Common Questions

• What are the ages for Soccer?

  We will have two age divisions: one for 3&4-year-olds and another for 5&6-year-olds. 

• Where are the practices and games played?

  At the Clovis Campus Athletics Field.

• How long is the season?

  10 weeks total. - We will play 8 weeks of games on Saturday mornings. (Any Rain-out Saturdays will not be made up.) After you are assigned a team, your coach and parents will determine a once-a-week practice day and time. April 19th will be a bye week so that families can celebrate Easter! 

• What soccer gear is included with registration?

  Each player will receive a jersey, pants, hat, pictures, and a medal. Players must purchase a belt, glove, and pair of cleats. A bag, helmet, and bat are optional.
  

• What is your refund policy?

  No Refunds are given after the sandlot of practice. (2/27/25)

• Can my child play up a division?

  We typically don't do play-ups (or play-downs) for the kids' safety. However, if players need to play in an older division, their registration must be pre-approved by the Stars staff. The player will also need to be evaluated at the sandlot. 

• What balls will we be playing with?

  We will be using Rawlings TVB - Sponge Rubber Core. There will be balls available, but you can purchase your own! 

• Should I purchase a bat, and which one is right for my player?

  There will be bats available, but you can purchase your own! For Tee Ball players, they must pick a bat that they can swing! Most players should use a 25” or 26” length bat weighing 14 or 15 oz. Also, look for the USA BAT stamp on the handle.
  

• What kind of glove should I get?

  Most youth gloves are constructed with a leather palm and synthetic material for the outer shell. This allows for a lighter glove and one that is easier to close. Look for a youth glove that is 9" to 10 1/2", and having “sure catch technology” is a plus.

• Does my player need cleats?

  Yes, players are encouraged to wear cleats. Remember, metal spikes are not permitted at this level. Shoes must be worn at the T-Ball practices and games: no Crocs or Sandals.

• Does my player need a helmet?

  There will be helmets available, but you can purchase your own! To help determine if your helmet fits right, you can use the shake test as a guide. Place the helmet on your player’s head and give it a few good shakes. If it moves around too much, try going down a size or buy a padding kit to guarantee a more accurate fit.
