For traveling soccer, can I get a refund if I accepted my roster spot prior to the season?

After acceptance of a roster spot, refunds are not provided, except in the following cases:

(1) Season-ending injury: If injury occurs prior to May 31, a prorated refund may be granted. If injury occurs after May 31, no refund is given.

(2) Upon approval of the Board of Directors.

 

A formal request for a registration fee refund must be made to the appropriate gender coordinator.

Why do I need to register for a Summer and a Fall teams separately?

Within the Twin Cities Soccer League (TCSL) the Autumn (Fall) and Summer are considered separate seasons. 

The teams outside our club will vary between the Autumn and Summer season based on interest from those teams. 

Within Dakota Soccer players may elect to only play in the Autumn, Summer or both based on other sports or activities they are involved in.  Because of the different interest levels from players teams will be formed as interested players allow.  

General questions

Where can I find some of your club documents?

Our club documents can be found Club Documents

Who can I contact to see what teams are available?

Contact our team coordinators, they work with our directors of coaching and other board members to try and find spots for all interested players.  Team availability is based on the number of registered players at that age level.  We do our best but in some cases due to low numbers we are not able to create a team for each age group. 

To start the process fill out this form and a member of the Dakota Soccer Board will respond to you within 2 weeks.

Why do we have volunteer hours and how do I fill them?

The goal of the Dakota Soccer club is to offer a quality program and positive experience for our players at the lowest cost possible.  Most of our board members are volunteers helping the program meet our goal.

Volunteers are needed to assist with functions that require help that the board is unable to do on our own.  Activities like field setup and participation at our various events are ways that you can help.

Throughout the year opportunities will be emailed out to all members of our club asking for assistance.  If you have any questions or would like to know more about upcoming opportunities please contact our volunteer coordinator at volunteer@dakotasc.org
