The Poquoson Sharks will be fielding fourteen boys and girls teams beginning in the fall of 2013. What ages? U9 through U18 boys and girls. All players will be registered through United States Youth Soccer Association (USYSA) / Virginia Youth Soccer Association (VYSA) and receive the insurance benefits through those organizations. When do they play? The program fee is per season and the players will have the option to participate in the fall and/or spring season. The winter and summer seasons are separate but the Sharks will offer technical training, camps and clinics during those periods as well. U15 –U18 only play league games in the fall. What leagues/tournaments will the teams play in? The VSL “Virginia Soccer League” will be the main travel league and the teams will play 8-9 games per season in that league. The Sharks will be applying for future membership in the Virginia Premier League. The VPL will be the top competitive league in the area. Developmental teams will have the option to play in TASL or setup a series of friendlies with our affiliate programs and other local organizations. The Sharks will compete in the top exposure tournaments, participate in state cups, play friendlies against top club teams as well as participate in Regional leagues and competitions throughout the year. We will be realistic about the level of our teams and put them in the proper environment to challenge them but not overwhelm and stifle their development. How much is the fee per season and what does it include? The player fee per season for the 2013-14 year is $300 for U10-U12, $350 for U13-U14 and $425 for U-15-U18 players.

Additional tournaments are an extra fee. High School teams will play in college showcase tournaments. Are there scholarships available? We believe that all levels of soccer should be available to any player with the attitude, desire, and ability to compete regardless of financial status. It is our hope that no players opt out of soccer for financial reasons. The Islander Soccer Association will provide full or partial scholarships for Poquoson children who would be unable to participate due to adverse financial situations. Depending on need, scholarships may include funding for basic equipment and uniforms. Parents must complete a scholarship application prior to each season for consideration. The application will be confidential and will be reviewed by parent representatives of the Advisory Board. When granted a scholarship, parents may be expected to perform volunteer service for the soccer club. Scholarships for students outside of Poquoson may be considered.

We have declared fourteen teams boys and girls teams with the Virginia Soccer League (VSL) for the Fall of 2013. What about uniforms?

The uniform package will be approximately $905 and includes 2 jerseys, 1 short, 2 socks, Sharks training top and sack-pack. This fee is only necessary for new players to the program or if a player needs to replace his uniform package.
