I registered for U6, what next?
The U6 program is played at the North French Soccer Complex between Millersport and Campbell near the I-990 (or the Village Glen if winter indoor play).  Just show up prepared to play at the scheduled day and time with a ball, water bottle and shin guards on under socks.
 
 
What is HOUSE Soccer?
House League soccer is for recreational play,  for beginners, those who just want a short season, children looking to play a new sport with friends or make new friends, players who enjoy learning some skills and have a little competition and those who think they may want to progress in the sport.
 
House League is for players aged U7-U19 (please refer to the age matrix) who are placed on teams at two-year age groups (U8-10-12-14 and Coed High School) to practice once a week with a parent coach and play an 8-game season.
 
Do I Need to Buy New House Uniforms?
Every two to three years, we change our House Uniform, due to availability from manufacturers.  In Fall 2011, everyone will receive a new uniform as part of the registration.  If you do not play fall, you will be required to purchase the uniform when you register for the indoor and Spring programs.  The brand name is Inaria; the colors and style have changed.  Please realize that we have not raised our fees in 3 years.  This is the first uniform change in 3 years.  You do not need to buy uniforms for the U6 program or Pre-K - your registration includes a t-shirt .
 
 
When and how long are the seasons played?
  • House League is an 8 week program run in the Fall (Sept-Oct), Spring (May-June), and 2 Winter sessions (Nov-Dec;Jan-Mar)
  • Travel Soccer is run the full year beginning with tryouts in September.  Practice starts indoor in November.  Most teams are involved in various indoor leagues from January to April.  Teams compete in the Buffalo & Western New York Junior Soccer League from about May through July.

How do I Change My Email Address?
To change your email address for ASA, you need to enter the registration center. Many people get confused by the wording on the registration page which says that you must have a credit card to complete the application. To change your email address you do not need a credit card, only your ASA information. Once you get by the first screen, it is much less confusing.
