North Macomb Community Youth Soccer / Romeo FC
U4-U10 Rec League
NMCYS is a non-profit volunteer organization that teaches soccer and life skills to children and young adults. Our organization embraces our three-tier approach to soccer as teaching, fun and exercise. We teach soccer with an emphasis on child development and sportsmanship. We are honored that you have entrusted us to help shape your child's future.
The soccer fees pay for the equipment, field maintenance, field painting, uniforms, referees, insurance. We are able to keep our costs down because everyone in our organization volunteers their time for the children. What we ask from the parents is to consider volunteering to coach, paint fields or distribute uniforms. Coaching is where parents can make the difference as we cannot coach all of the teams we have without your help. We provide practice plans and tips to make practices run smooth, the time commitment is approximately 2-3 hours max per week.
Please consider coaching your child's team as we don't want to have to limit the kids that can play because we don't have coaches for the teams. You'll find that you will get as much out of coaching as your child does from you coaching their team. It is a great way to spend quality time with your child and build memories for years to come.
We use the random assignment of players to teams method. We do not accept requests to play with other players. The only way to change this is to coach a team, as a coach, you can select one individual to play on your team. (Usually reserved to have their parent as an asst coach.)
