Refunds

Full refunds may be provided if the request is received prior to the close of normal registration (prior to late fees) for recreational programs and if unable to place the player on a team. No refunds for weather conditions that shorten the amount of practices/games and/or due to personal conflicts with the game and practice schedule and/or issues pertaining to carpooling arrangements and/or if a player does not like the program. If there is an issue with a teammate, parent, or coach, the JUSC will attempt to rectify the situation. A 50% refund may be authorized by the Recreational Program Administrator where a player has a season-ending injury/illness, or where a player moves to a location not considered commutable to the Johnston and Urbandale communities. The request must be received prior to the end of the age group’s third weekend of league games based on season calendar to be eligible for a partial refund. To be eligible for a refund, anyone requesting a refund must submit a refund request form provided by Johnston Urbandale Soccer Club (JUSC). Refunds: Policy Details

Birth year/age group matrix

The age group registration is based on the calendar year.

• Players born between January 1 and December 31 in a year play on the same team unless a player is “playing up” in an older age group of any given year.

• This is consistent with the other 208 FIFA countries that register youth players by their year of birth. Read more

• Special Requests before registration is completed are not accepted.
  
• NOTE: Spring Season requests are harder to honor due to uncertantly of the number of returning players, caoches and /or returning teams viability. Please email info@juscsoccer.org if it is important and to be timely considered.
  
• Requests past registration/same team deadline are less likely to be honored.

Play-Up Request

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY For a proper development and positive experience, our club's objective is to have kids play at their true age group whenever possible.
Play-Up outside playup division (5/6U to 7/8, 7/8 to 9/10, 9/10 to 11/12, 11/12 to 13/14) is not advisable and must be approved by pro coach evaluation to ensure physical readiness for the bigger field, longer games, maturity etc. Note, such requests are cautiously considered for safety and the best developmental environment for all kids.

An example of 8U play-up to 9U

• Longer game time: From 4x8 minutes at 8U to 2x25 at 9U
• Much larger field: From 25-35 length to 55-65 yards (this is a most drastic change, combined with the longer game, this is a challenging transition for the true 9U player)
• At 8U (4v4) with no goalies to 7v7 with goalies at 9U
• It is possible that 9U team ends up playing against 10U team by Iowa Soccer League rules, hence an 8U player that is playing-up at 9U might face 10U competition)
