DEVELOPMENTAL F.A.Q'S
A: Make sure you have registered through our official website and have downloaded the TeamSnap application from your smartphone’s app store (the phone application is free)! This is where different forms of communication are available, through the club, directors, and coaches. Ensure you’re logging with the email address you used to register your player.
A: The intention and purpose of our recreational program is to offer a fun, relaxed, learning experience for players of any skill levels. Players may step into the programming with no experience, little to some experience, or have played for years; whatever the case may be, this program is open to all players between the grade levels of kinder through to 8th grade.
A. The Fall recreational season begins with practices in late August and games the week after Labor Day. League games for Kinders are on Thursday evenings, and for 1st—8th Grade are on Saturdays.
A:
Players will be rostered to teams throughout the weeks leading up to pre-season practices. Once you’ve been rostered to a team, you’ll see the “Schedule” tab for your player’s schedule. We allow volunteer coaches within our programming to choose their own practice schedule (day of the week, time of the day, location of the practice). Once your volunteer coach has selected a day of the week, time slot, and location for practices, they will manually upload their practices to the Teamsnap app. Practice schedule will be posted no later than late March/Early April.
Our game schedule will be posted in late August once teams have been confirmed for our Tualatin Valley Youth Soccer League.

A majority of our Tualatin Valley Youth Soccer League are hosted locally in Hillsboro at school district fields and local Hillsboro Parks & Recs park fields.
