All Coaches are volunteers and choose their own practice times and locations.

We will have jerseys available for purchase during Mall registration on 20 July,  Picture Day on Saturday, August 17th, and on our first game day Saturday, August 24th.

After the coaches meeting, we release rosters and schedules to coaches.  Fall 2024 Coaches Meeting will be Thursday, August 8th. Coaches should contact after that with date, time and location of your practices. If you do not hear from a coach by August 13th, please contact your Age Group Coordinator.

All MCSA coaches are volunteers who have completed a background check. We encourage parents to volunteer as coaches! You can sign up to volunteer when you register your child. If you do not have a child but would like to coach, e-mail an Age Group Coordinator. All coaches must fill out a volunteer disclosure form, attend our coaches meeting, and be in charge of their team. We have training materials to help you.

You may be able to register late but we will likely not be able to honor coach, practice, or friend request. Immediately after registration closes, you may still be able to register but you are put on a waitlist. If your age group has space, you will get an email notifying you to complete registration and pay your late fees. You will not be placed on a team until your fees are paid. After the waitlist is closed you will need to contact the correct Age Group Coordinator to see if they have any available slots come open. Occasionally, we have a late drop and may be able to get you added to a team. 

MCSA insurance covers practice at public parks, Heritage Park practice fields, and public schools. To practice at a school, coaches must request permission from the school and fill out a usage request form. (Found on documents page). If any churches or subdivisions are willing to authorize practice, we can add them to our insurance policy. 
Current Insurance Certificates

Coaches will start contacting players after the coaches meeting. It may take a few days as many coaches have multiple teams. If you still have not heard from your child coach, and it has been a week since the coaches meeting, please contact your Age Group Coordinator. They assign coaches and players and will be able to provide you with the most up-to-date information.

No, but the system requires a photo be attached. Please attach a photo of the MCSA logo.
