Registration, Fees & Refund Policy

Fall 2025 Registration

The MYS Fall 2025 registration is now OPEN. Registration is for players ages U3-U19 with U3-U4 at $165 and an early bird fee of $175 for U5-U19 through August 1, 2025.

  • The MYS recreation staff strives to accept all players interested in joining the club. We will do our best to accommodate reasonable requests for team placement and practices, however we cannot guarantee requests.  
  • Early registration requests will be easier to accommodate (i.e. returning to a former team).
  • Players who want to guarantee they return to their team from the Spring 2025 Season need to register before July 15 and indicate in the PlayMetrics registration question about returning to their team.
  • The MYS Recreation program does not permit travel program players (Travel team or Juniors U8 players) to participate at the recreation level.
  • Players who are registering for the Fall season now must pay BEFORE being assigned to a team.

Please read our full club Registration Fee Policy and Registration Fees Refund Policy.

Birth Date Verification:

MYS requires that Recreation players U5 and older must have their date of birth verified. All players must register with the age group that matches their birth year. MYS does not allow recreation players to play up. During registration, it will be required to upload each player’s birth certificate or valid, non-expired passport. This is required once for each player going forward and will not be a requirement for returning players, only new players each season.

Registration Deadlines

Deadlines are dependent on age group:

  • U3-U4 registration will continue until the program has reached capacity.
  • U5-U10 registration deadline to be guaranteed placement on a team is BEFORE August 1, 2025.
  • U11-U19 registration is open until NCSL Rec team capacity is reached. Players who register prior to August 1, 2025 are guaranteed a roster spot and retain their jersey number from the Spring 2025 Season.

Referee Information: There is a nationwide shortage of referees, impacting various sports, including soccer. You can read more about this issue here. If anyone is interested in helping as a referee, they can register here. As an incentive, McLean Youth Soccer offers bonuses and incentives for referees officiating throughout the season. Also, in advance of games, the club notifies coaches of games that do not yet have an assigned referee so they can prepare a volunteer referee.
