Recreational Registration

WELCOME TO EXPRESS RECREATIONAL SOCCER!

We are very excited for our Fall 2024 Fall Recreational Soccer season!

After a record-breaking number of players last season (over 140 teams!), we are encouraging you to register your players early, as it is possible the spots will be filled up. 

EARLY BIRD DISCOUNTED PRICING:

Save up to $50 by registering your player before March 31, 2024!

We have streamlined our registration process by using GotSport, a soccer management software. Please follow directions below to enroll your child for a fun season of soccer!

Returning players: Log in with your same e-mail address as last year, and your information will be carried over to this year. 

If you are new to Express Recreational Soccer, you will need the following:

- A current photo of your player
- Scanned copy of his/her birth certificate (A clear photo of the original should work)
- Insurance information

 

To register your player:

Create an Account at GotSport and follow the prompts to upload your player’s information and submit payment. If you need help, there is a tutorial here. If you run into any issues, e-mail us at recreg@encinitasexpress.org

Financial aid is available to players who receive free or reduced student lunch. Please contact us at recreg@encinitasexpress.org to receive your discount code for registering online. Need to register in person? Contact us.

Volunteer to coach your team!

Coaches, we need you! Our recreational soccer program is parent and volunteer driven. All coaches are enthusiastic parents, just like you!

As a volunteer coach:

  1. You set your practice schedule times (first come, first serve) and location (if available)
  2. You may request 3 players for your team
  3. You get to have a lot of fun with your child and his/her friends!

We have a great training program, supply all the equipment, build the practice schedule around your availability and, if you can coach two teams, we can guarantee (with rare exceptions – coaching two high school age teams) that you won’t have a conflict on game days. 

If you are interested in coaching a recreational team, please note this on your child's registration, or contact Brett Mills

Rec soccer depends upon VOLUNTEER COACHES to head each team. We hope to have over 125 teams again this year. That means that we need at least 100 volunteers (a few of you will actually coach multiple teams. ) Coaching is a great way to give back to the community and control your schedule at the same time.  Please volunteer to coach your child’s team!

TEAM FORMATION / FRIEND REQUESTS

Upon registering, you will have the option to request to be placed on the same team as friends. To help increase your odds, requests should be reciprocal.

* Please note that no friend requests will be honored for registrations after July 15th. 

We will form teams based on the following logic:

  1. Volunteer coach's player requests
  2. Reciprocal Friend Requests
  3. Geographical, by school
