This is the procedure used in forming teams for the Canton Soccer Club recreational programs.  This procedure is used for all players that registered and paid on time.  If payment is not received by the last day of registration, that player falls into the “waitlist” until payment is received and may lose their spot on their former team.

GLSL

1. First, all returning (or continuing) players requesting to return to the same team from the previous season are placed first.
2. New players are then placed onto teams.  A new player is someone that did not play the previous season.  If you missed the last season, you are considered “new” again.  A birth certificate is only required for new players that have never played for the Canton Soccer Club recreational program before.
3. Requests for specific teams are only taken at the GLSL level and are on a first-come first-serve basis after all returning players are placed.  
4. Waitlists are then taken to fill-in any available spots on these teams.
5. Play-up requests are taken last and are on a first-come first-serve basis as we have to place all “true” ages to the appropriate age group first.  For more information on this process please click HERE.

Please keep in mind that our first goal is to place every child we can.  However, we must keep teams as equal as possible in regards to their roster sizes.  Although their may be a “spot” available on a certain team doesn’t mean we can place them on that team.  We need to make sure all teams are equal and meet roster minimums.

Please remember - Coaches can NOT offer spots!!!  Placement is done at the League Coordinator level for the scenarios mentioned above.
