Spring Sports FAQ

Coaches will notify the players on their teams in beginning of March. Practice times are selected by the coaches. Most teams will practice one weekday in the late afternoon or evening and on Saturdays until the season begins. AOK participants will be walked to practice by AOK or CM staff if the practice is prior to parent pick up. You must notify the AOK staff in writing of the time of practice and the coach’s name.

You may add one teammate request. However, all teams have to be divided equally by age and ability, so not all requests can be granted. Both players must request each other. Requests must be on the registration form in the box area marked: “Comments and Special Requests.” No requests will be taken over the phone.

Schedules will be sent to coaches and participants via e-mail beginning of March. Games will begin at the end of March and will run to the beginning of May. Game times will be on Saturdays between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., and occasionally there will be a game scheduled on a weekday early evening for rescheduled games and rainout games.

We play on fields at area churches and schools.

Each player will receive a jersey, shorts, and socks prior to the first game. It is the responsibility of the player to wear shin guards (no exception) under the socks. Your child will receive the size ordered on the registration. Cleated shoes are not required; however, if you do purchase cleats they cannot have the spike on the toe of the shoe (baseball cleats).

It is suggested that each child have a soccer ball to bring to practices. Size 3 for pre-K–2nd grade and size 4 for 3rd–6th grade. Again, shin guards are required. All other equipment is provided by CUMC.

Rainout days are posted on this website, and a message is recorded on the athletic desk phone, 683-6887. The information is updated on weekdays at 2:30 p.m. and revised as the day goes on. Saturday postings are recorded after 8 a.m.
