DEVELOPMENT MODEL:

Based on US Youth Soccer recommendation: Teams may be adjusted on game day to create fair and balanced games, foster sportsmanship, focus on the development of players, and/or give the opportunity to play with different players and take away any overly competitive atmosphere.
 

SESSIONS

Choose your session when registering. Teams will be formed from the pool of players that are registered for the spring season based on experience and one buddy request. Players wishing to ‘play up’ must register in their age group and email dan.raeihle@albionscsandiego.org for approval.

ALBION Juniors reserves the right to adjust structure of games/teams based on enrollment and for player participation, development and enjoyment. We have a NO refund policy.
