Vikings FC - Things to Know Before You Join


1.) Vikings is a Full Year Commitment (Fall Season and Spring Season)***

When you choose to join our club, you are committing to playing soccer in the fall from Early September to Mid-November and the spring Mid March until Mid June.  We do NOT offer any refunds.  Joining a team is making a commitment to not only the club, but also the peers who are on the team.  We all count on each other.  That is the beauty of a team sport.

2.) Vikings is a travel soccer club

Vikings families can be expected to travel for games on the weekends.  Games are usually within 20-30 mins of the Northern Valley area.

3.) When are Vikings games?

Fall (Boys play Saturdays and Girls play Sundays); Spring (Both genders play on Sundays)
NOTE: Sometimes, makeup games can be played on weekdays and other weekend days

4.) How are teams formed at the Vikings?

Teams are formed based on ability.  Feedback from evaluators at tryouts and feedback from trainers/coaches from the prior season all factor into the decisions.  A staff of 4 directors of coaching, in collaboration with the Vikings FC Volunteer Board form rosters.  Players are placed primarily based on their birthyear.

Details on Birthyear Issues:  We recognize that your child might be a different birthyear than peers that are in their grade.  A 2nd grader currently may be birthyear 2014, but many of her peers may be 2015.  They are playing on different Vikings teams.  At times, players can be asked to play up, mostly due to logistical issues.  A group of 2010 birth year players, may need a few players to form a viable roster.  In that case, some 2011 players would be placed on this team.  This is known as playing up an age group.  This is a ONE SEASON AGREEMENT.  Families should expect to return to their proper birthyear in the future.  
​

5.) Who can tryout for the Vikings?

Players from any town can tryout for the Vikings.   Although the majority of our players are from Demarest, Haworth, or Closter, we do have players presently playing from Piermont NY, Northvale, Tenafly, Cresskill, New Milford, Norwood, Old Tappan, Dumont, Emerson, Montvale, River Vale, Harrington Park, Fort Lee, and Englewood Cliffs.  We are happy to provide an excellent learning environment for your player.  

6.) Can my child play another sport in addition to Vikings soccer?

Absolutely.  We believe in the development of the whole athlete and many of our players choose to play other sports.  We make every effort to work with other organizations to avoid conflicts.  In fact, the Vikings will always attempt to offer alternate training sessions for players with conflicts.  That being said, we do ask that players and their families communicate openly with the club so we can all work together.
***U6 and U7 are seasonal memberships.  All fall players must reregister and pay in the spring as well.
