Welcome to the Home of the
Charlotte Junior Soccer Foundation!
Since 1974, we have offered recreational and competitive soccer opportunities in the Central Charlotte area for boys and girls from 4 - 18 in the fall and spring.
Field Closing-Tips on what to look for: first, look at the date and make sure it is TODAY'S date. If not, then the web site or phone line has not been updated for today and you have to wait until 4 PM weekdays or 7:30 AM on Sat; or call the Parks & Rec phone line (704-336-5800 Ext. 4) and see if it is updated for today. Generally, CJSF updates the CJSF phone line and web site before Parks & Rec. If neither the phone, web site or Parks & Rec Rain out line are updated for TODAY's date and it is past 4 PM/7:30 AM for Sat, assume the fields are OPEN.
Field closings will be posted by 7:30 AM Saturdays and 10 AM Sundays and by 4 PM weekdays or soon thereafter. Both the CJSF web site HOME page and the rain out line (704) 366-3030 will be updated. The Parks and Rec Rain Out line is also updated for field closings: 704-336-5800 ext. 4.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THE GOALS ARE ANCHORED WITH SAND BAGS BEFORE YOU PRACTICE OR PLAY A GAME. THERE ARE SAND BAGS AT EACH FIELD. Two bags per goal on the bottom back corners. Exception-the small 4 x 6 snap together goals with red nets used for the U6 and under.
Spring 2012 registration is now closed. Teams are all closed-no new placements will be made for spring 2012.
NOTE: if you want to pay via check, please print a registration form from the FORMS page, fill it out, and mail it in with your check. The option to pay via check with online registration is no longer available.
CJSF will give full refunds until the first week of practice and full or partial refunds thereafter based on the situation. If you child is not placed on a team, you will receive a full refund check.
Fee includes uniform (short, shirt, socks) and all fees. Shin guards and water bottle are required; cleats recommended.
Rain-outs/Game and Practice Cancellations: in the event of inclement weather, please check the web site (Facilities Status section-green means open; red means closed; yellow is pending) or call the CJSF rain-out line: 704-366-3030. If the CJSF web page is not updated (check the date) or the phone line not current, please call the Parks & Rec Rain-out line: 704-336-5800 x4 for updates. We will try to have both phone and web site updated no later than 3 PM on any week day and 7:30 AM on Saturday mornings. If games are canceled, they are canceled for the whole day.
Revised Code of Conduct for Coaches, Parents, and Players: click on "About Us" then click on "Code of Conduct". Thanks!
SOCCER GOAL SAFETY, ANCHOR BAGS, WIND, ETC: Please make sure goals are anchored with multiple sandbags at ALL times. Always use caution around soccer goals. Do not allow anyone to climb on the posts, hang from the crossbar, or play in the nets. High winds or strong wind gusts can cause goals to blow over. Sandbags/goal anchors should be placed on the back two corners of the goals, and a third sandbag in the middle back of larger goals. Soccer goals can tip over and cause injury and sometimes death.
The goals, goal anchors and sandbags are not toys. Do not let children play with them, tear them up, make holes in the sandbags with sticks, or dance on top of sandbags with their cleats. Everyone needs to check goals to make sure they are anchored, whether playing soccer or not. (NOTE: This does not apply to the U6 and Moppet goals-4x6 size-do not use sandbags on these goals. Do not allow kids to climb on these goals, either.)
GOALS: Please make sure the goals are anchored with sandbags before practices and games. (This does not apply to the U6 and U5 goals) Do not allow anyone to climb on goals or nets. If the wind is up, with strong gusts, please do not use the goals, anchored or not, and lay them down away from the field. Do not practice or play with goals that are not anchored.
Rain-outs/Game and Practice Cancellations: in the event of inclement weather, please check the web site or call the CJSF rain-out line: 704-366-3030. If the CJSF page is not updated, please call the Parks & Rec Rain-out line: 704-336-5800 x4 for updates. We will try to have both phone and web site updated no later than 3 PM on any week day and 7:30 AM on Saturday mornings.
