A uniform is required to play in any U5-U12 ASA game and may be purchased at the ASA office during office hours: Monday through Friday, 9:00am-3:00pm. You may order and pay for any uniform items online or on the registration form and then visit the office to pick up your ordered uniform. Sizes can be changed at that time. Shin guards are mandatory at practice and games for ALL age groups.

You may also pay for registration and later visit the office to purchase uniform items. Either way you will have to visit the ASA office to claim your uniform items. If you are unable to visit the office for pick-up, please call the office and other arrangements can be made. Uniforms should be picked up in the season in which they are ordered. ASA will NOT deliver uniform items to practice or games for any reason.

New SFL players (U13-U19) must purchase uniforms through the online registration (must include uniform size). These uniforms will then be ordered from Springfield Soccer.

The following uniform items are available for purchase through ASA:

PROOF OF AGE (REQUIRED FOR ALL NEW PLAYERS)

Please submit a copy of the player’s birth certificate or passport along with the registration form (preferrably at time of registration). If you register online, you must mail, fax or email the birth certificate before the registration is considered complete. If the birth certificate is not received in the office by 3/13/15 the registration will be incomplete and the player will not be assigned to a team.

This additional fee of $25 per season ($50 per year) must be paid by families living in zipcodes other than 22301, 22302, 22304, 22305, 22311, 22312, 22313 and 22314. In addition, a few addresses within these listed zipcodes are in Fairfax County, not Alexandria City, and those families are also required to pay the additional non-resident fee of $25.00 per season.

Financial aid is confidential and available for both registration and uniform fees. ASA's aid program is based on the same criteria as the Alexandria City Public School (ACPS) Free Lunch Program. A copy of your player’s enrollment in the free and reduced lunch program is required for aid consideration. Please note that registrants applying for financial aid may complete their household information online, but must submit a printed Registration Form, birth certificate or passport, and payment directly to the office to receive the discounted rate. The online registration is not able to process financial aid. When the player’s ACPS Free Lunch program enrollment letter is received in the office, the price to play soccer, including a $10 city field fee, is as follows:

• U5-U19= $90 registration fee for Fall and Spring.  $50 for Fall only
• Uniform performance shirts for ages U5-U12 are $15 for the pair (includes red and blue); SFL Jerseys are the listed price

VOLUNTEERING

If you wish to volunteer as a coach or assistant coach, please do so as you complete your player’s on-line registration. At that time please also complete the Kidsafe form for a background check. Soccer playing or coaching experience is NOT required to coach a team. If you register by mail, please contact or visit the ASA office to complete a Kidsafe form.

Each team must have a head coach and an assistant coach. Each age group (Example, under-8 girls) will have a coordinator. Each fall season, a new coordinator is needed for the newly formed U5 and U7 age-groups.

If you are interested in volunteering to coordinate the team placement in an age group, please contact the ASA recreation director, Jim Hogan (jhogan@alexandria-soccer.org). Please note that this is a much larger commitment than coaching a team, but ASA is always looking for qualified and organized individuals to fill these important roles within the club and help our soccer seasons run smoothly.

You can volunteer for any of these positions on-line, or email ASA if you are interested.
