Dear PCJSL coaches, team managers and team contacts,
Registration for the PCJSL Fall 2018 season is open, and the application link has been posted on the PCJSL website (PCJSL.COM). I’m also including a copy of the link in this email: https://www.gotsport.com/
Please be aware of the Important Dates listed below:
All U15 – U19 teams
● Aug 9 – Registration closes – Updated to 11PM August 14
● Aug 12 – Flighting Google Doc posted with proposed flighting – will happen after registration closes

● Sep 8 – First play date for U15-19 teams
All U9 – U14 teams

You may fill out your application anytime before registration closes for your age-group (see above), but if you do so before August 1, it appears that GotSoccer will place your team in an age-group one year younger than is correct for the 2018-19 season. Don’t worry about this – I will correct it and send you an email to let you know that this has been fixed.
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO BLACK-OUT DATE SELECTION – If you have already filled out your application, you may have noticed that you couldn’t select black outs. That has been corrected, so you need to go back into your account and select black outs on the calendar if there are any play dates that your team cannot play. It is terribly frustrating for me to spend hours creating a schedule only to have a team tell me they cannot play on a date that they did not black out. Please help me by giving your families the play dates listed below and making sure that you can play on those dates. If not, black out the date!

I know this is a lot of material, but ask that you read it, and re-read it, to be sure that you have the information. The 2018-19 Handbook will be posted later this week (after a new PCJSL treasurer is elected at the board meeting on Wednesday, July 25) and you can find the information above, plus many other things there.
I look forward to a great season and am always happy to hear from you with questions and/or concerns, so please don’t hesitate to reach out!
All the best,
Maggie Barton
PCJSL Scheduling Coordinator
