Warwick Recreational Facilities Bond

​​​​

There is an important special election vote by Warwick Taxpayers on Tuesday, Feb 3 in regards to the future of Warwick's recreational facilities. Question 1 is for a $50 million bond for High School fields and Citywide Recreational and Athletic Facilities. We were told at a couple of recent meetings with various sport organizations of Warwick that the high school projects should use anywhere from 20-40% of the funds in the bond with the remainder going to improve and upgrade various sports facilities in the City. It is too early to know if WFFSC will get any funding, but we will continue to be part of a committee of sports organizations that intend to monitor and take an active role in oversight of the bond money to make sure it is fairly distributed where needed.

Please vote Yes on Feb 3 for Question 1 which is given below.

Modified Player Age Division Rules

​​​​

The rules for determining the players age division for a soccer year will change starting in the Fall of 2026. A soccer year runs from August to July so this rule change will apply to the 26-27 soccer year. Prior to 2017 the players were placed in age groups using August 1 as the cutoff date. In 2017 the rule was changed to use January 1 so that all players born in the same year would be grouped into same age division. This caused much distress and complaints as it tended to separate kids in the same school grades. It has now be decided to revert to the old rule of using August 1 for the cutoff date. This will go into effect for the Fall of 2026. 

​

The rationale from US Youth Soccer along with how to determine which age group players will be in may be found at THIS LINK.

​

This will impact the tryouts in June for building the competitive teams for the next year.

WFFSC Competitive Indoors Program

​

Most of the Competitive teams will play indoor soccer with most going to Wide World South in North Kingstown, some maybe going to Wide World North in North Smithfield, and some maybe going to Teamworks in Warwick. The team fees at these venues are quite high. I want to be clear: WFFSC DOES NOT MAKE ANY MONEY OFF INDOOR SOCCER. All we try to do is break as even as possible. We try to charge just whatever it takes to pay the venues for the teams. To do this the roster size of each age group is approximated and then the total team fees split accordingly per player. The fee per team and the cost per player are given at THIS LINK. This is for both sessions of indoor and the payments will be spread out over 4 payments with one at the time of registration and then one each month for the following 3 months. ​

​

To register for first WFFSC Indoor Soccer Team for the SECOND SESSION of indoors please go to THIS LINK. Only register if told to do so by a WFFSC coach.

​

Also each venue has a membership fee that is paid to them separately.

For Wide World go to THIS LINK to purchase the PLAYER membership for $10. Parents do not need a membership. Click on 'Membership & Passes' and choose 'Add Membership'. Once you have purchased the membership then request for the player to be added to the team roster. Instructions on how to do this may be found at THIS LINK.

​​

​​​

Some teams rented space at Teamworks for practices. If your team is one of them then the link to pay is at THIS LINK.

WFFSC Spring Recreational Program

​​​

The spring Rec program will start towards late March and run till mid-June with practices once a week and typically one game a week. Teams typically are coed. Requests may be made and we will try to honor them within reason. Please limit to 1-2 friends that are in the same age group. In the spring all players will get a jersey, socks, and a soccer ball. No trophies in the spring. Soccer balls are given in spring and trophies in the fall.

​

The fee per player is $100 with a sibling discount of $20 for each child in the family. To register please go to THIS LINK. If you already have a gotSport account please use it. Otherwise you will have to create one.

Sometimes there are opportunities for players to play on a second competitive team. Again only register for a second team if told to do so by a WFFSC coach. To register for the second competitive team please go to THIS LINK.

US Soccer Referee Abuse Policy

US Soccer published a new policy on referee abuse with substantial punishments for when it occurs such as multiple game suspensions. This policy is applied to all US Youth Soccer organizations of which WFFSC is one of them. The policy applies to coaches, players, and spectators. Notice that the number of game suspensions is tripled if the ref is a minor. Please see the policy at THIS LINK. There is a video that everyone should watch at THIS LINK.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​

Clubhouse Plans

After several years of effort WFFSC finally obtained the building permit for a clubhouse at Winslow. See the proposed building at this LINK.

​

The intent is to try to build using significant community contributions so anyone that can provide service, labor, or materials at discount rates please contact us at doylebyrd@gmail.com.​
