Key dates for the Spring 2026 season. During the season, your head coach handles all game-specific communication through your team app.
Players should attend every team activity when possible — even if arriving late or leaving early. Give your Head Coach and Team Manager at least one day's notice for any absence. U12/U15 multi-sport players need to attend at least one practice per week.
Practices: Head Coach cancels if conditions warrant. Not rescheduled.
Games: NWYSA decides. Cancellations posted on website home page and emailed to all. Head Coaches notify their teams. Rescheduled when possible.
Lightning: Immediate suspension. Resume only 30 minutes after last sighting.
Tornado watch or warning: All activities canceled immediately.
Inform your team staff of any health issues — including food allergies for end-of-game snacks — before the season begins. If someone other than the parents is picking up, let the team staff know in advance. Two adults must remain until all players are picked up.
Civil behavior required at all NWYSA activities. Players: 1st incident = warning, 2nd = suspension, 3rd = possible removal. WCA is a no-smoking, alcohol-free zone.
Both parents are treated as equals and kept updated unless a court order states otherwise. The child is never penalized for a parent's choices.
Full refund if player quits before regular signup ends. No refund after regular signup once assigned to a team. Medical issues handled case by case with proof.
Team-level issues: speak with your Head Coach first. Program-level issues: contact NWYSA. Please don't involve other members in your dispute.

When your team is winning by 3+ goals against a fellow NW team, implement challenges: 1v1 moves, combination play, weak-foot use, drop back passes. Give less-skilled players majority time. This develops your team for tougher opponents.
