Soccer After School & Summer Training FAQs*
First Come, First Served
All online registrations are date- and time-stamped. We strongly encourage parents to register as early as possible. Space is limited, and spots may not be available for late registrants.
Training groups are intentionally small—6 to 8 players per group. Once a group reaches 8 players, it moves to Wait List status. Credit card information is required to register, but Wait List registrations are not charged unless a spot becomes available.
* As of April 14, 2024. Subject to change.

Important Notes About Online Registration
-
Read every screen carefully during registration—important notes and group availability are shown throughout the process.
-
Error messages often result from incorrect login information. Be sure to use the exact User Name and Password registered with SABR.
-
If a group is full, Step 3 will show a “group filled” message. This is your only warning.
Continuing beyond this step will place your child on the Wait List, and you will not be able to select another group without starting a new registration.
