Q: Where and when are games and practices held?
A: La Liga KC soccer games are played at Hodge Park on Saturday mornings depending on age/division. La Liga KC teams are encouraged to hold at least one practice during the week. Times and locations are decided by the head coach and parents as La Liga KC DOES NOT have designated practice fields and times.
Q: How many games will be played?
A: We will play seven games and have one additional Saturday reserved at the end of the season in case of a weather cancellation.
Q: Can I request to play with someone?
A: Yes, please make requests during the registration process and La Liga KC will do the best they can to accommodate special requests. You may also request a specific coach.
Q: What equipment do I need?
A: Each player will need shin guards, socks to cover the shin guards, soccer cleats (no toe cleat, may not use baseball or football cleats), a water bottle, and a soccer ball in the size appropriate for the age/division the player is participating in. Chicos and D6 will use a size 3 ball; D8 and D10 use size 4.
Q: Why do I have to purchase jerseys separately?
A: This season we are piloting a new system for jerseys by having players purchase a jersey bundle (home and away jerseys) for the season. The jerseys are all the same color scheme for all players in the league, which is why you are required to purchase both a home (turquoise) and away (white) jersey. You can use the same jersey season after season. Jerseys can also be handed down to siblings or to other participants. In the long run this will be a cost-saving and time-saving measure for both the participants and the administrators of La Liga KC.
Q: Are snack/treat assignments mandatory?
A: Post game snacks and treats will be decided by the head coach and the parents, but La Liga KC encourages all to be extremely mindful of food allergies and intolerances.
Q: How will weather cancellations be decided and will they be made up?
A: Health and safety of the children is a high priority to La Liga KC. Weather-related cancellations will be decided on the morning of the game day with an e-mail update and updates to our website and Facebook page. There will be ONLY one additional week reserved at the end of the seven-game season for weather-cancelled games. If there are two or more games cancelled due weather related issues, only one game will be made up.
