Game/League Information

Teams will participate in leagues that are developmentally appropriate for each team.  Game locations will be dependent on the league.

Training Location/Practice Days

We have a number of training and game locations for our teams. Practice days will be determined by the coach and disseminated to the team at a later date.

Events

There are three events included in the fee for local teams. The number of events for national/regional teams are three - five and are dependent on events/leagues selected.  Extra event fees will range from $45 - $100/event and will be billed separately at the time of such event.   Ala cart event fees are only refundable to the extent a refund is received from the event.

Uniforms

For the 2025-2026 season, Sporting Columbus will be in year two of a two year uniform cycle.  Returning players will need to order a new training jersey and any other item will be need based.  All new players will need to order a full kit. Uniform orders are placed online. After you pay your deposit, soccer.com will send an instruction e-mail to all players regarding the uniform process. Returning players will maintain their current number; uniform numbers for new players will be randomly assigned. The uniform ordering process will begin around June 15.

Placement, Acceptance and Registration Process

Team offers will be rolling and begin May 12.  Offers will first be sent via email.  Only players that have signed up for Tryouts will receive an offer.  When necessary, phone calls will be made as a follow up. To accept the offer, please follow the instructions in the e-mail.  Without the electronic acceptance and deposit, your player’s spot may be offered to another player, even if you have verbally committed to your coach.
