Welcome to the Sterling Soccer Club! 
On this page, we have added parents-related information, including FAQS on registration, equipment, uniforms, and the team app, to help guide you during the Recreation program soccer season.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us anytime. Have a great season!

I have just registered my child online. What happens next?
You will receive a confirmation email from Sterling Soccer after registration. A week before the start of the first practice, the coach assigned to your child's soccer team will contact you.  You will be provided with all the necessary information on practice times and field locations, game schedules, and how to purchase new uniforms.

I have problems registering online. My login information does not seem to work - who do I contact?
You can reset your password by clicking the Forgot link at your login window, and then try to log on again with your new password.

I Haven't Received My Password Reset Email
Search your inbox for an email titled "Reset Password Instructions." or emails from no-reply@sportsengine.com. Also, check your spam/junk folder.

If you still are unable to locate your password reset email, click Forgot your Password? and select email me a magic link. You will receive an email at your account email address with a magic link that upon being clicked will sign you in without needing your password. You must open this link on the same device you used to request the magic link.

Registration Issues:
If you still encounter any login issues or have further registration questions, please contact our club administrator.

How do I find out where to purchase new uniforms?
You will receive the information from our club administrator once you have registered.  All new uniforms are purchased from the Sterling Soccer retail store (not affiliated with our club) located at the Community Plaza shopping center. Click here to view our Uniforms page for more information.

What age group will need uniform numbers?
U11 to U19 age groups will require numbers on their uniforms.

Can I pick my own number?
No - Players cannot select their own numbers. All uniform numbers are assigned by the club administrator AFTER you have registered. The administrator will contact each parent with the new numbers.

When does practices start? Who will notify me?
YOUR TEAM COACH will reach out to you before the season starts by email and have all the necessary information for the season.

Why have I not heard from my team coach yet?
If you have not heard from your team coach the week before practice starts, please contact our club administrator.

Where can I find my team's game schedules?
The game schedules are linked from our schedule page. However, YOUR TEAM COACH should be the main contact for all games and practices.

Our head coaches are expected to provide parents the game schedules. Most coaches will also post the game to your Sports Engine team app. If you do not have access to the Sports Engine team app, or need to add another parent, please contact our club administrator.

For the U11-U19 age group, all game schedules are posted on the NCSL REC website. Your coach is also expected to post the games on the Sports Engine team app as well.

Where can I find out about the practice fields?
You view all field locations here on our website fields page.

How do I notify the coach if we cannot attend games or practices?
The preferred option is to use the Sports Engine team app RSVP feature. If you click the checkbox on the date or the game, the coach will be notified. Otherwise, please email or text the coach directly as soon as possible.

How will I know if games or practices are canceled due to weather?
You will receive an email alert from the club administrator on the day of the cancellation. Your team coach will also reach out to you by using the team app or by emailing all parents. The Sterling website homepage field status will also show field status for that day.

SPORTS ENGINE TEAM APP - QUICK FAQS:

Q: I don't see any schedules listed on the app.
A: Your coach is responsible for updating and adding the practice and games schedules to the app. Please contact your coach if there isn't any information on there yet.

A: Yes, you can personally chat with your coach by using the chat option on this app.  You can also involve other parents in the chat, as well.

Q: Do I need to use the RSVP for games?
A: Yes, please always use the RVSP to let coaches know if your player can attend the games. This is very helpful for coaches to let them know how many players will show up for games, especially for U11 age groups and up.
