Those who do not make a team can still train in the Academy and play in the Recreation program. The teams are continually evaluated to make sure everyone is playing at the appropriate level. The coaches and Competition committee will do their best to have every player that wants to tryout, make a team. They also have to ensure that there is enough players to form a solid team.
Once players are placed on competitive teams, these requests become more difficult.
Impact black shorts, Impact black socks and the Academy shirt provided. The shorts and socks can be purchased from Soccer International.

Recreation Teams
Players must be at least 4 years old by July 31 to play recreation soccer. The age group matrix is included below. Playing age group is determined by the month and year in which your child is born. Playing age group is determined by the month and year in which your child is born. Age groups are listed as U-5 or Under 5 if your child is 4 years old as of July 31, or U-10 (under 10) if your child is 9 years old as of July 31, etc. All registration and payment is done online through our online registration system. Payment is by credit card or electronic check. Impact United is offering an early bird registration fee of $85 for all players registered by May 31. The regular registration fee of $95 will be charged to all registrations received June 1 thru June 30. A nonrefundable late fee of $20 will be added to all registrations received after June 30th. Registration closes July 31. Teams will be formed honoring player requests for a specific coach or to play with a friend, in as much as possible. However, this only applies up to the maximum team size and on a first come, first serve basis. Further, Impact United reserves the right to adjust teams for size and/or competitive balance. After player requests are considered, we try to group players together by geographic area using the Elementary School boundary in which players live as a guideline. Priority will be given to all requests received before May 31st. Impact United makes every effort to honor your requests within the guidelines and limitations we have. When other options are not available, players will be placed on teams that need players. Girls only teams begin at age U-7. Girls have the option of playing on either an all girls team or on a coed team. Impact United has determined the team size limit using recommendations from UYSA for maximum player opportunity and development. U-5, U-6, and U-7 play 4 v. 4 with a maximum team size of 8 players. U-8 and U-9 play 6 v. 6 with a maximum team size of 10 players. U-10 through U-18 play 8 v. 8 with a maximum team size of 12. Impact United is generally located in the Highland, Skyline, Olympus and Cottonwood High School geographic areas. Our game fields are located throughout these neighborhoods. Game fields are determined by field size and player age group. In younger age groups where we have several divisions, we make every effort to schedule games in close proximity to the teams’ geographic area. Older teams will play on fields located throughout the Impact United community. Games are played on Saturdays. They are scheduled throughout the day beginning in the morning and ending in the early afternoon. Game schedules will be available online about one week prior to the start of each season. Practice place and time is determined by each coach. Prior to the start of each season, our coaches sign up for their practice field and time. They will let their team know the day and time of their practice. Most teams practice once per week during the season. Impact United holds a coaches meeting approximately 2 weeks before the start of each season. Coaches sign up for their practice fields at this meeting. They are encouraged to start practices and contact their players as soon after this meeting as possible. Players registering for a full year (both fall and spring seasons) will remain on the same team for both seasons. Impact United Recreation program is a volunteer organization. We rely on parent volunteers to coach their children. We can only create teams if we have parents willing to coach those teams. Impact United makes every effort to help train and educate our volunteer coaches in the best method for coaching youth soccer. If you would like to volunteer as a coach please register through the online registration system. Uniforms are not included in the price of registration. They must be purchased separately at Soccer International located at 3956 S. Highland Dr. Ask for the Impact United Recreation uniform. The uniform consists of 2 adidas jerseys (one black and one white), one pair adidas shorts, and one pair adidas socks. This same uniform can be worn multiple years until your child grows out of it or it wears out. Shin guards are mandatory at all practices and games. Soccer cleats are preferred, but are not mandatory. Requests made for a refund will be honored only prior to the first game of the fall season. All requests for refunds must be made in writing, specifying the following:
A $20 non-refundable fee is applied to all refunds. This amount covers non-refundable State and district fees as well as credit-card processing charges. Refund Requests should be e-mailed to Impact United at RecRegistrar@ImpactUnited.com. Impact United registers players for a single season only as space is available. Fall only players will be placed on fall only teams as space allows. Fall only registration is not online. To register for fall only, email the registrar at RecRegistrar@impactunited.com for details. Spring only players will be placed on spring only teams, or if there is an open spot on an existing team. Priority for team selection and placement is given to players who register for a full year. Spring Season wait-list registration will open on March 1st. RECREATION GAMES WILL NOT BE CANCELLED FOR RAIN, unless lightning is present. We encourage playing through light rain or cold weather conditions. We recommend you attend your games with the intent of playing, and then if the rain becomes heavier or does not abate you may consider abandoning the game with mutual consent of both coaches. It is the policy of Impact United Soccer Club to cancel any game or practice at the FIRST sign of LIGHTNING. If there is enough snow accumulation that prevents the lines from being seen at your game field, the game is automatically cancelled. In some cases we have agreed to not to play at certain venues if the ground is extremely wet. We will advise you if your game is at one of those locations. If you don’t hear from us, your game is on. For any other reasons to cancel a game, both coaches must mutually agree. If a game is canceled, the coaches must notify the Referee Assignor for your age group /field at least one hour prior to game time so the referees can be contacted. The Referee Assignor’s Name and Phone Number is listed on the Schedule Page for your Age Group. There will be no rescheduled games. Generally, team pictures are taken during the spring season. “Fall only” teams will have pictures taken during the fall season. Impact United provides one team photo for each player. If additional photos are desired, individual players may order directly from the photographer. See our Picture Schedule and Order Form for more information. Player Registration fees includes the basic picture package. Please make team pictures a priority so each player can have the promised package. The photographer will have team rosters at picture time. Players not on the roster will not be in the team picture. Please insure the team roster is accurate to avoid discrepancies and disappointment. Pictures and Awards will be available for pick up by coaches at one of the Registration Events or at Equipment Return. If coaches cannot pick them up at one of these days, they should send a Team Representative to do it.Pictures and Awards should be distributed to the team following the last game of the season. Teams are formed based on age and location of player. Impact United attempts to place players with other children from their school or nearby schools. Every attempt is made to honor "special request" based on team availability. "Special requests" will not be honored if team size is already at maximum. If your child wants to play with a friend or a specific coach, please clearly indicate this on the registration form and we will attempt to honor your request. To register online as a recreation coach, you go to the same website as if you were registering a player at www.ImpactUnited.com/registration. You can click on this link to take you directly there. Once you have completed your coach registration, please send an email confirming it has been completed to RecRegistrar@ImpactUnited.com. Please include your child's name you will be coaching and their birth date in the email. Be sure to register your player as well. Utah Youth Soccer Association requires that all coaches watch a 20-minute video on concussions AND complete the on-line training. Please complete these tasks before you register with Impact as you will be required to upload a copy of the completed training certificate to your coaching account. For more information, please check out our Frequently Asked Questions page. Be sure to read the Recreation Handbook to find more information about being a coach with Impact. |
