About Us

Hello Shore Soccer players and families, 
We hope this email finds you safe and sane in these uncertain times.We are reaching out today with an update on the Shore Soccer fall season.  The Shore Soccer board has met repeatedly across the last few weeks, brainstorming on ways we can offer a fall soccer season that is safe and provides our kids with an opportunity to get outside and play.    We have reached the decision that should Northampton County stay in Phase 3, Shore Soccer will host a fall season and will strictly be following the Phase 3 Guidelines for recreational sports issued by the Governor of Virginia.  
Should we move back to Phase 2, Shore Soccer will cancel the fall season.   
Please see our COVID page to fully understand the precautions we will have in place this season.  T

Here is what the season will look like, should we stay in Phase 3.
All age groups will have (4) teams and the number of players on each team is as follows: 
- U7 Co-Ed (5-6yr)- 4 teams with 10 players per team, for a maximum of 40 players in total
- U9 Co-Ed (7-8yr)- 4 teams with 10 players per team, for a maximum of 40 players in total.
- U11 Co-Ed (9-10yr)- 4 teams with 14 players per team, for a maximum of 56 players in total.
- U14 Boys (11-13yr)- 4 teams with 14 players per team, for a maximum of 56 players in total.
- U18 Girls (12-18yr)- 4 teams with 14 players per team, for a maximum of 56 players in total.
- U18 Boys (14yr+)- 4 teams with 14 players per team, for a maximum of 56 players in total.   
Each age group will have its own specific game time/date, which will allow Shore Soccer staff to clear the fields prior to the new age group starting.  
Here is what the game schedule will look like: 
U7- Friday at 5:30pm
U9- Saturday at 9am
U11- Saturday at 10am
U14 Boys- Saturday at 11am
U18 Girls- Saturday at 12pm
U18 Boys- Saturday at 1pm 
Games will be (2) 15-minute halves and a (5) minute halftime.  
There will be no weekly team practices, only games.   
Knowing there could be significant disruptions to the season, this year there will be no cost to players to join the league.  
Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Online registration will open on Friday, August 21st.  In-person registration dates will be the following:  Friday, August 21st from 5-7pm, Friday, August 28th from 5-7pm, Saturday August 29th from 9-10:30am and Friday September 11thfrom 5-7pm.  
The season will start on September 19th and end on November 7th. 
We know this season will look and feel different than past years, but we feel these guidelines will ensure the safety of our players, coaches, referees and our community.  
Should you have any questions on our guidelines or have any ideas on how we can improve our safety measures, please reach out to Liz Jones at, 240-832-8013 or via email at, [email protected]   
We will be in touch with updates as the season progresses. 
Best,
Shore Soccer Board
