Q: How much is registration?
A: Registration fees are $80.00 per player. Non-Tamarac residents are required to
have a current non-resident card, which can be purchased at
the Tamarac Community Center for $50. This card is
good for all Tamarac sports leagues.
We will also be collecting $20.00
for raffle tickets as part of this year's fundraiser; however, raffle ticket purchases are not required for siblings this year.
League fees cover the costs
for uniforms, insurance, referees, trophies, practices,
games, Opening Day ceremonies and
Closing Day ceremonies.
Q: What if I don't want to buy raffle
tickets?
A: Everyone is
required to purchase raffle tickets this year...it's part of
what keeps the cost of the league so low. However, the
raffles will be worth it: we will draw two
winners every Saturday game day who will each win a $50.00 gift card.
In addition, we will raffle off several cash prizes at our
Closing Ceremony. So for $20.00 you can either sell
them and make your money back.
Q: What do I need to bring with me
when I register?
A: You'll need to bring a copy
of the player's birth certificate (no originals, please) and proof of Tamarac residency (utility bills only...the City of Tamarac does not accept drivers licenses as valid proof of residency).
Q: Can someone else register my child for me?
A: Yes they can, but
the registration paperwork and all contact numbers will need
to be for the players and their parents, not the friend or
relative who is signing the kids up.
Q: What forms of payment do you
accept? Do you take checks and
credit cards?
A: At this time we can only
accept payments via cash or money
orders. Please make money orders out to
Tamarac Youth Soccer.
Unfortunately, we do not take
check or credit card payments.
Q: What if I already have a Tamarac
non-resident card?
A: If you already have a
non-resident card then the cost of registration will be $80.

divisions?

the 2011-2012 season:
Under 6 (ages 4 and 5)
