Is there a discount for siblings?

Yes, we offer a $15 discount off additional sibling registrations for our REC seasons and $20 for the MFC Club season.  See current registration for more information.

Where and when will games and practices be?

We partner with Madison Elementary School District and use several of their fields for practices and games.  Our rec league teams practice once per week (Mon-Thur) with games held Friday evenings and Saturdays throughout the day. Club/Competitive teams practice at least twice per week with additional training at the coaches discretion.  Club/Competitive games take place across the valley with occasional travel tournaments.

Can I request practice or games times?

If you have a standing weekly conflict (another sport, scouts, etc.) please note that in your registration and we will try to avoid the conflict when adding your child to a team.  We cannot honor game time requests.  Once you're assigned to a team your coach will communicate your practice and game schedule.  

Can I request my child's coach or teammates?

Yes.  There is a field in the registration that allows for special requests.  Please note requests are not guaranteed.  We will do our best to honor special requests.  

Can I coach my child's team?

Yes!  As an all volunteer coached league, head coaches and assistant coaches are always needed.  Please register as a coach here and indicate a willingness to coach on your child's registration.  

I've registered my child, when can I expect to hear from the coach?

You can expect to hear from your child's coach at least one week prior to the start of the season once all rosters have been finalized.

How do I access my child's team schedule?

Once you've registered and your child has been added to a team, you can access the team's schedule (games and practices), receive team alerts, contact the coaches or other families, and even share team photos in the Sports Engine app (download for Android or iPhone).  You must register in the app using the same email you used to register your child.  You can also add family members by following these steps

Can I sponsor my child's team?

We do not offer individual team sponsorships but please contact  Katie Reeves (katie@mfcphx.org) about league sponsorship.

How do I stay up-to-date on all things MFC?

Join the MFC mailing list here!

How do I request a refund?

We understand scheduling conflicts come up or kids decide they don't want to play soccer.  Unfortunately, we are not able to offer a refund after teams are formed and rosters are locked - typically two weeks prior to the first game.  Prior to that we can offer a refund on a case by case basis.  Please contact Katie Reeves for refund requests: katie@mfcphx.org.  

*Registration insurance is offered through Sports Engine.  MFC is in no way affiliated with this service but you are welcome to purchase for a nominal fee to protect your registration fee.  Registration insurance can only be purchased at the time of the original registration.
