Green Bay Strikers Soccer Club

Welcome soccer parents! The Green Bay Strikers are dedicated to ensuring that each and every soccer participant has a safe and enjoyable soccer season. If you have any comments, questions or concerns (about the organization, coaches, players, referees, etc.) and you feel it inappropriate to discuss with your child's coach or division coordinator, you can call The Parent Connection at 490-7266 or send an email. Please don't wait until the end of the soccer season. We may be able to help!

All calls and contacts will be kept confidential. Remember, we all want to make this season the best ever for everyone!

Our success is the result of the efforts of our volunteers. The Green Bay Strikers ask that you particiapte however you can. Volunteering as a coach for your child's team is a rewarding experience, and a fiscally responsible one as well (registration discounts apply for those whose parents volunteer as coach). More information available here.

The Green Bay Strikers are looking for people age 13 through adult to officiate games during the 2007 season. The pay range is from $10.00 to $14.00 per game with two games scheduled most evenings. For more information see our Referees page.

Overall, 2006 was an outstanding year for the Green Bay Strikers. We are grateful to all of our volunteer coaches, supportive parents and referees for their commitment.

While the vast majority of coaches and parents conducted themselves appropriately, last year we unfortunately had a few situations where people let their competitiveness get the best of them and lost their cool. As a result, in 2007 the Board is taking a very strong position against negativity in all forms, and encourage good sportsmanship. Coaches, parents and players who violate the spirit of our program by degrading players, referees or others using foul language, or otherwise deprive others from enjoying the game, will be suspended and/or expelled from the program. The League's Division Coordinators will have the authority to take the appropriate action. All parents, coaches and players are required to sign a Soccer Sportsmanship Commitment contract to signify their commitment to these goals.

Remember, the Green Bay Strikers are dedicated to having fun while learning the game of soccer. Through family involvement, we foster team spirit, sportsmanship, social development and a positive self-image. Players of all backgrounds, ages and abilities have an equal opportunity to participate, excel and enjoy the game.

In order for everyone involved to have the best soccer experience possible, we are asking everyone to refrain from using any artificial noisemakers when cheering for their team. Thank you for your cooperation.

The decision to cancel a game is made at the field at game time by the referee. In the case of 5's and 6-7 year olds where there no referees, the coaches will decide whether the game should be cancelled.

We ask all parents and players to respect the no parking zones around the parks where we play. Many people have been parking in these areas particularly around Wilder and Eisenhower parks. Be warned that the police will be patrolling the area and giving out tickets where necessary.

The 2008 Season is still a few months away however the club is working hard to ensure another successful and fun year. This section of the website will provide parents information of interest, regardless of the age of your child. If you cannot find what you are looking for or have a suggestion for this section you can contact us either via an email to the webmaster or a phone call to our answer line.

Player registration for the upcoming 2008 Season will again be held in the month of January. Players must register in person at one of the sessions listed below. There are no mail-in or online registrations.

Player rosters, equipment, coach and referee staffing is based on this registration. Waiting lists and full rosters were common in 2007 so do not wait. If you register at one of the sessions held in January, you are guaranteed a space on a team. Any questions call: The Answer Line 490-7266.

The soccer rosters and equipment will be handed out to the coaches on April 26, 2007. The start dates/times will be finalized by then. Please call The Answer Line at 490-7266 if you haven't heard from your coach by May 1, 2007.

The purpose of Soccerfest is to give all players a chance to experience the fun and excitement of a tournament regardless of ability or record. The Soccerfest is great fun for the participants and has a special atmosphere of excitement and camaraderie for parents, families and friends. The Soccerfest consists of at least two games where participation and sportsmanship are emphasized.

The Soccerfest dates are:

All players will be required to wear shin guards. If the shin guards are the type that strap to the leg, they must be completely covered by knee socks. If they are the "all in one" type that is completely covered with padding and elastic, extra socks covering the shin guard are recommended but not mandatory.

Team shirts will be provided and must be worn at all games.

Shorts with zippers are not allowed but any other color or style of shorts is acceptable.

All jewelry must be removed during the game including tongue studs. This is important to consider when getting any new piercings. Even if the piercing is still healing, your child will be required to remove the jewelry or he/she will not be able to play.

Soccer shoes can be worn but are not required.

Ball sizes for each age group are: TBA
