• All Coaches are FA, UEFA or USSF Licensed 
• Full-time & Part-time Coaches

CAN MY CHILD PLAY SELECT SOCCER AT THE SAME TIME AS OTHER SPORTS?

• EastSide FC encourages players to participate in other activities, including other sports.  We do ask that all players do their best to attend all of their EastSide FC training and games.  This is important to achieve the best results possible individually as players and as a team. 

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF MY CHILD CANNOT ATTEND SOME TRAINING SESSIONS OR GAMES?

• We understand that there will be occasions that prevent a player from participating in training and/or games.  We ask that this be communicated immediately to the coach so that alternative plans can be defined.
