General Information
- The Basics
- The Mary Munford Soccer Program is part of the City of Richmond Parks, Recreation, and Community Facilities Soccer Program and follows this program’s policies and guidelines. Our soccer program serves children, ages 5 to 12, from Mary Munford and other area schools. There are two soccer seasons – fall and spring. The fall season includes playoffs for U-10 and U- 12 teams.
- Age Groups for the Fall 2011 & Spring 2012 Seasons
- Players are divided by age into U-6, U-8, U-10, and U-12 teams. The spring season’s age classifications are:
- Under Age 6: Born on or between 8/1/05 and 7/31/07
- Under Age 8: Born on or between 8/1/03 and 7/31/05
- Under Age 10: Born on or between 8/1/01 and 7/31/03 (photocopy of birth certificate required)
- Under Age 12: Born on or between 8/1/99 and 7/31/01 (photocopy of birth certificate required)
- Players may not play down (play in a younger division). If you would like your child to play up, please email us at marymunfordsoccer@gmail.com prior to completing your registration.
- Children born after 7/31/07 may not play this year.
- A child who plays for a travel soccer team may not play for a Munford soccer team during the same season.

Please note the following policies:
-
Registration is first-come, first-served and each registration is date and time stamped by the online registration system. We create and fill teams based on volunteer coach availability and field space availability. We also attempt to create balanced teams with regards to gender and age.
-
Once each division’s limit for players is met, a wait list will start for that division. If we are able to admit anyone from the wait list, it will also be done on a first-come, first-served basis. A player will not be charged any fees until he/she is admitted. If a space becomes available on a division’s wait list, the player will be admitted to the program and an email will be sent to the email address in the online system. The registration will not be complete however until you log back in and authorize payment.
-
Players may indicate a practice day preference OR a coach preference – not both. Some helpful tips: In arranging carpools, please coordinate with others by selecting the same practice day. If you prefer a particular coach, check with him to see if he’s coaching this season and on what day.
-
Due to the size of our program, we cannot guarantee a player a specific coach or practice day but will do our very best to be accommodating. Should a player’s team placement be unsatisfactory, we’ll refund all fees minus a $5 processing fee.
-
Due to the complexity of building a large number of teams involving several hundred players, we will not make changes to teams.
-
We encourage coaches, parents, and players to embody and promote the spirit of our recreational soccer program: learn new skills, have fun, and make new friends.
Practice and Games
-
All practices are held on the fields at Mary Munford from 5 to 6 P.M.
-
U-6 teams practice once a week for 30 minutes followed by a 30-minute game, either on Wednesdays or Thursdays.
-
U-8 teams practice once a week and have games on Saturdays at Mary Munford.
-
U-10 and U-12 teams generally practice twice a week at Mary Munford and play games on Saturdays at Bryan Park.
-
U8 and above practices could be scheduled any week night (Monday thru Friday).
-
Practice days are weekdays and are determined by the availability of our volunteer coaches and field space.
Inclement Weather, Field Closings, and Game Cancellations
-
For weekday field closings and practice cancellations due to inclement weather or wet fields, coaches will be notified and will then notify parents.
-
