Not sure what your age group is?  Check out the age matrix on the house page.

House soccer is recreational play.  No standings or statistics are posted.  This is for new players or those that want a less intense environment than travel soccer.  Players from 7-18 can play (check the age matrix for your age group).  Games are on Saturdays with usually a Sunday play date at various locations around town.  Coaches are all volunteers and decide when and where to practice.  The earlier you apply the sooner we can place you on a team with friends or near your schoolmates.  Late additions are placed on teams where needed.  We try but, don’t guarantee to honor requests.  Scholarships are available for those that need assistance.  If you are a parent that has a couple hours per week to help, don’t be afraid to volunteer.  We have a coaching director who can help you with practice ideas suitable for your age group. 

U6 kids do not practice.  They play each Saturday for 6 weeks in a fun, learning environment that gets them accustomed to touching the ball, using their bodies and developing agility and making friends.  No uniforms are needed for U6.  See the age matrix for birth date ranges and eligibility.

Every player must wear soccer cleats or suitable athletic shoes, shin guards, soccer socks (provided with the uniform set) and have the correct size ball for their age group - U6 #3, U8-12 #4, U14+ #5- and bring a water bottle to every practice or game.  U6 parents should plan on staying for the hour to help.

See the House page for more info.

Players must attend at least 1 tryout.  For new players and those trying to move up to the "A" team, it is recommended that you attend both to give the Director and assessors the chance to see your ability.  Player assessments from the prior season will also be used to determine placement.

We expect all parents, spectators and coaches to understand the conduct required at a soccer match. NY West, our parent organization, has implemented a new policy that takes effect immediately.  Please familiarize yourself with proper conduct towards the referees.  In many instances, these referees are young children themselves who have just recently become referees.  We need to support them in their development.  Let’s all sit back, enjoy the action and leave the control of the game to the refs.  Don’t get caught up in the heat of the action and say the wrong thing or embarass your child.  Let the coach coach, the kids play, let the refs ref.   Click below to read the policy:

TOPS Soccer and AIM.  A great way to have FUN!

The policy of the Amherst Soccer Association is that every effort will be made to ensure that children will not be deprived the opportunity of playing soccer in cases of financial hardship.
