Fall recreation Registration Information.
Registration for Our Fall recreation program will open on Sunday June 14th and will close on Sunday August 9th. Late registrations will be limited and dependent on team size and needs as well as the number of volunteer coaches we have. Season start dates are tentative but we should be underway after the labor day weekend on September 7th.
Registration for the Fall recreation season is now open. All registration will be online there will be no in person registration. The cost to register is $85 per player and is reduced to $50 per additional child for multiple children in a family. Registration costs have increased this past year due to increased cost of running the program. Registration is open to all children regardless of experience or skill level, It is available for everyone who wants to play. There are no tryouts or prerequisites. All players are required to have cleats and shin guards to play. Uniforms are included with registration, these are intended for both the fall and subsequent spring 2027 season. Registration will close on August 9th. Exact Game start date is only tentative right now. Once the league has a firm date an announcement will be made.
Please make any coach and/or teammate request during the registration process. Every effort will be made to accommodate these requests, but please remember it is not always possible. In order to keep our teams as manageable as possible, we ask that you make all these requests when registering. As a rule players can not play down in age but may play up.
Late registrations will only be granted for players who can be accommodated based on team size and need. All divisions have limits on participants and we have in the past needed to close divisions early due to overwhelming numbers. Please do not wait till the last minute to register. Registration will close On Sunday August 9th.
All Newton United coaches are volunteers and we rely on these coaches to keep us running. We are always looking for new volunteers to help out. This is particularly true in the U8 and U10 age groups where we have our largest number of players. The more coaches we have, the more teams we can form. Please consider this option as you register your child. No team can have too many volunteers! All Newton United Volunteers and coaches are required to to have a background check in place. This is a requirement of all 3 towns we represent whose fields we use and of our governing body New Jersey Youth Soccer{NJYS} . All volunteers and coaches need to register as they register their child and complete the online trainings as required by NJYS ,this must be done every season. Information on obtaining the town mandated background check can be accessed on our coaches page. No coach or volunteer is allowed onto a field without having these checks in place.
About teams
Teams with game-aged players participate in the Sussex County Youth League (SCYL). These teams play approximately 8 games per season, on Saturdays. As we play teams from other towns in the county, there is some travel involved. All teams are recreation teams in this league. All teams are Co-Ed. These are recreational teams only, and we do not allow travel players to participate on these teams. This is a rule that is adhered to throughout the league. Any travel players found on a recreation team will be removed from the team without refund. All teams are formed based on a child's birth year, not on school grade. Under no circumstances are children allowed to play down in age group. Children may play up in age in some situations. An example of this would be to allow siblings to play together and help in transportation needs. Please make any coach and or teammate requests during the registration process and every effort will be made to accommodate them. If your child is close to the cut off for our instructional program please contact the club as we may be able to get your child into one of our programs. Please do not wait till the last minute to register some age groups can fill early and will close before August 9th.
Instructional Program
Through skill-oriented games and small-sided scrimmages each week, our youngest players will be able to learn and thrive in a fun and relaxed environment. This instructional program will now meet on Saturday mornings at Evergreen Park in Green Township with one group meeting Thursday nights at Bodhi Monastery for 8 weeks. There will be no Saturday Game schedule for this age group. We do have a minimum age requirement of 4 for these programs. Once registration is over, our trainers will be in touch to confirm the start date. If you are registering for this program please consider listing yourself as a volunteer. Our trainers are always looking for parental help, the support of parents to help manage these sessions is invaluable. It also provides an introduction to the club and the game for potential coaches and volunteers moving forward as children advance into the game playing age groups.
Our Instructional program will continue to be divided up into 3 seperate groups. Group 1 will meet on Thursday nights at Bodhi Monastery at 5PM. Group 2 will be Saturday mornings at Evergreen park at 9:15 AM and group 3 will be on Saturdays at Evergreen park at 1030AM.
