Q: What does it cost?
A: $85
Please understand that every parent is expected to participate in at least one volunteer activity (i.e. field officer, Pioneer Fest, Setting up and taking down nets and goals, Team Management, etc).

Q: What does the cost of registration include?
A: It includes jersey, shorts, socks, and trophy. It does not include shin guards or soccer shoes, which are mandatory. Your child should also bring a soccer ball & water bottle to every practice & game.

Q:What kind of shoes are required?
A: Under-5 and Under-6 players can wear regular tennis shoes or "turf" shoes. Under-7 and older need to wear soccer shoes. Sporting goods stores like Academy usually offer a package deal of shoes/shin guards/ball for about $25. Note that shoes made for baseball and football are unsafe for soccer and cannot be used.

Q: What is the minimum age?
A: See the
Age Group Birth Dates table for the birth dates of each age group. We cannot accept any child younger that does not meet the U5 requirement.

Q: What age groups and genders will you have?
A: We will have Under-5 and Under-6 coed teams. Girls and boys teams for U7, U8, U9, U10, U12, and possibly U14, U16 U18. Girls can opt to play on boys teams if they wish. We will try to help find other clubs able to accept any players we cannot place. See the
Age Group Birth Dates table for the birth dates for each age group.

Q: When is the Fall season? Spring season?
A: Fall season runs from early September to mid-November, the Spring season runs from early March to mid-May (about ten weeks in all).

Q: When are the games played?
A: We expect that all Under-8 and younger games will be played on Saturdays. Under-9 and older will play on Saturdays or on Sunday afternoons. Occasionally, make-up games are held on weeknights, though we try to avoid that if possible.

Q:Where are the games played?
A:Under-5 to Under-6 will play all games in Wells Branch. U7 – U10 age groups will have away games at Wells Point in Pflugerville and at fields in Hutto and Georgetown. U11 and older will also have away games in the Austin-area versus teams from other clubs.

Q: When and where are the practices?
A: Practices are generally twice a week but it is really up to your coach.

Q: How will the registration information I provide WBSA be used?
A: The information you provide to WBSA will only be used by WBSA for WBSA-related activities. No information whatsoever will be provided to anyone other than the Capitol Area Youth Soccer Association (CAYSA) as required.

Q: Will I be charged a transaction fee for using my credit card?
A: Yes, the transaction fee is 2.75% and is collected by Affinity Sports who provides the software for registration. WBSA does not see any of this money.

wbsoccer@wellsbranchsoccer.com.

Q: What if I do not have a birth certificate?
A: You can order a birth certificate from the state of Texas by clicking
here. Most other states will also have ordering information online.

Q: Do you have to live in Wells Branch or attend Wells Branch Elementary to play in WBSA?
A: No. Anyone is welcome from anywhere. It's common to have players from all over the Austin area.

Q: How do I request to play with a specific team, coach or another player?
A: Put all special requests in the COMMENT section of the player registration form. Include the team name, coach name or other player name to assist in team formation. Note that players returning from the Spring season will typically be placed on the same team unless specifically requesting not to. Every effort will be made to accommodate player requests but some requests will not be honored due to some restrictions. It is not always possible to honor all requests.

Q: What if I have additional questions?
A: E-mail your questions to the Registrar at
registrar@wellsbranchsoccer.com. If you prefer to contact another board member, you can e-mail them directly. See the Board Members list for email addresses.
