Fannin County Soccer Association
Below are some of the most frequently asked questions during the registration period. If you have an additional question, please email us at fanninsoccer@gmail.com.
Q. How are the teams formed?
A. Former players return to their previous team. New players and players that missed the previous season are placed in the draft in two categories; experienced and novice. The draft is a random process of assigning players to each team until all teams have the appropriate numbers of players. The FCSA considers experience level when building the draft pools. Teams in need of new players will be assigned either an experienced or novice player from the draft pool, depending on the level of experience the existing team has. This ensures that all teams are comprised of both experienced and novice players, so games are more competitive.
Q. How and when are the parents/guardians notified?
A. The draft for the current season will be held once registration is complete. Once the teams are established, the coaches are notified. The team coach will contact all parents/guardians regarding practice dates and times.
Q. Where are the practices and games held?
A. The FCSA soccer fields are located at the Bonham Sports Complex located just off Silo Road in Bonham. Most coaches also hold practices at the fields on various nights of the week. Your child's coach will notify you of where and when the team will practice. Generally, the coaches will pole the parents to determine what nights work best for everyone. U12 teams and up practice in Bonham at the Sports Complex, but play all games in Sherman, TX.
Q. When are the games?
A. The games are held on Saturdays. Game schedules will be established once the draft and team rosters are complete. Watch for the "Game Schedules" page on our website for this information.
Q. What towns can participate?
A. All towns within Fannin County.
Q. When will the game schedules be posted?
A. The game schedules should be posted in the near future.
A. Shin guards are mandatory. Players will not be allowed to play without them. Cleats are optional; but note, only soccer cleats are allowed. Other sport cleats are not allowed, as they have "toe cleats" that can be harmful to other players. A ball is also optional. A size chart is available on the Extra Info page.
Q. What if I volunteered to coach?
A. A coach's meeting will be scheduled once the draft is complete. Coaches will receive their team roster and select their team colors for the uniforms. A Coach's Clinic will also be held for all coaches. Additionally, all coaches must complete a background check and be approved to coach.
