Recreation

Most games will be played on Saturdays with occasional games on Thursdays & Fridays. Games will be played at Vulcan Soccer Complex in Lebanon.

Practice will either be at our Lebanon Location (806 Castle Heights Lebanon TN 37087) or Mt Juliet Location (97 Lorenzo Drive Mt Juliet TN 37122). This depends on what you select on your registration form. Practices typically occur once per week for about an hour, Monday-Friday, depending on which day the coach chooses. Some teams, typically older ones, choose to host an additional practice.

You will see your player's team appear in TeamSnap the day before the Rec Kick-Off Event

If you ordered one during your registration, you will pick it up from your coach at the rec kick-off event. Please see the calendar for those dates.

Yes, only at our in-person registration events. Please see the calendar for those dates.

If you have 3 or more siblings registering for youth soccer each player’s registration fee will be $20 off.

Yes, the Board of Directors provides for a limited number of scholarships each season for those who find themselves in financial difficulties. Applicants should contact the league to discuss their proof of financial hardship. The Board will verify the information and make a decision on the request. If approved, the applicant must agree to work at the fields (in areas such as concessions, field clean up, field maintenance, etc.) a specified number of hours.

You will need to provide the following items for your player(s):

• Soccer cleats (no toe cleat – such as what is found on baseball and football cleats)
• Shin guards
• Black soccer shorts
• Black soccer socks
• Soccer ball. Soccer ball size is based on the player’s age group:
• U4-U8 use a size 3 ball
• U9-U11 use a size 4 ball
• U12 and up use a size 5 ball
  

You will also need to provide rides to practices and games. Please remember to bring your child something to drink at each practice and game. The concession stand will be open on Saturdays and will have drinks for sale. Lastly, you will need to provide love, support and a positive attitude for your soccer star!

We have decided to not allow for requests anymore. This has caused many unbalanced teams and at times this has not been for the best interest of the players.

See the above age groups for this season. Playing up in the next league level is allowed but will be very limited. All play-up requests will be reviewed by the Director of Coaching and Soccer Ops. Playing down in a younger league is allowed only for medical reasons, and requires a doctor’s letter, and the approval of the Registration Manager. Wilson United SC will combine age groups to accommodate team sizes and coaching.

We do our best to accommodate friend requests.

You will meet your coach at our Rec Club Kick Off meeting and on the TeamSnap App

No, instead we let you communicate a day that you cannot practice. We will try to accommodate that request. As for practice, most teams practice once or twice during the week and we ask that they be after 5pm. Practices are held in Mt Juliet and Lebanon Your coach will decide on practice days and time.

U5 to U6 – about 8 we play 4v4 U7 to U8 – about 10 we play 4v4 U9 to U10 – about 12 we play 7v7 U11 to U14 – about 15 we play 9v9 U16 – about 14-16

Our teams are separated into girls and boys. Our U04C only is COED.

Wilson United Soccer Club would like parents to strongly consider volunteering to help out. Because Wilson United Soccer Club (Rec) is an all-volunteer organization (there are no paid positions on the Board), volunteers are absolutely vital to the success and growth of Wilson United Soccer. It also doesn’t matter how old you are: we have volunteers as young as seven years old as well as grandparents helping on game days, collecting trash, field setup and take down, bathroom supply maintenance, registration, etc.

No refunds will be granted to those who break the rules or the policies of Wilson United SC. Refunds are usually processed within a few weeks after the season begins. Refunds will be allowed up until the beginning of the rec season.

We don’t let a little rain keep us from playing soccer. We will only cancel games in the event of a thunderstorm or if there is standing water on the fields. We also do not cancel games due to cold weather. If it’s cold outside, players are encouraged to wear sweatpants, a sweatshirt or jacket (MUST be worn under their soccer jersey), and even a hat and gloves. The Field Commissioner Team will make the decision to cancel games due to weather. If the decision is made to cancel games, we will post a notice on the front page of our website, facebook and send out a text message to the league. So that we can provide as much notice as possible to all of our coaches, referees, players, and their families, every attempt is made to have the decision made and the notices out by 7:00 am on practice and game mornings. If the weather is questionable and you don’t see a notice on the web site, assume that all practices and games will be played as scheduled.

Wilson United follows rules of FIFA and modifies them for our various age groups.

Yes, the Tennessee State Soccer Association requires a background check, Safe Sport, and concussion protocol.
