How many soccer programs does GBYSL run throughout the year?

GBYSL is an outdoor soccer program and we run a Fall and Spring season of outdoor practice and games. Our game seasons coordinate with the Washoe County School District traditional calendar. Our spring season begins late March/early April and finishes approximately the second weekend of June. Our fall season begins late July/early August and finishes approximately the last weekend of October.

How are teams formed?

We form our teams based on the zip code you submit as your address during registration. I there are enough children in your area to form a team, the practice session will be that zip code.

When and where will practices be held?

Our coaches are volunteers and therefore they chose the practice day, time and location. Practices begin approximately two weeks prior to the start of the games. Once your child is assigned to a team, the coach of the team will email you with team practice information

What if our child is placed upon a team that does not have a coach assigned by the beginning of practice?

We make every effort to recruit a parent volunteer for each team. Our league is a volunteer-based league and all teams are formed with the intent to have a parent coach the team. If we cannot assign a coach after repeated attempts to request a parent to step up to coach, then we reach out to some of our affiliated clubs. If we cannot find a coach, which is rare, then we either move your child to a nearby team with an opening or we offer you a refund of your registration fee.

How does the league determine the uniform size for my child?

We order age appropriately sized uniforms for each player per the parent request during the registration process. The coach will distribute the uniforms to all players prior to the start of games.

Refund Policy

The Treasurer will issue a 50% refund if request is received by the season’s published deadline date for registrations. Requests made after the published registration deadline, will not be refunded. Late registrations, those which are received after the deadline, are not refundable.

All requests for recreational league must be made using the Request to Cancel Recreational Registration form.

I haven’t heard from my coach yet. When will I be contacted?

Please be patient. Since our coaches are volunteers, they will communicate to the team once they have obtained their practice field, time of practice and day(s) of the week for practice. If we are less than two weeks from the start of games, please contact the GBYSL office directly.
