Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I register and join Jackson Fury as a new player?
  Please review all registration materials, follow the instructions, and complete the online registration and payment process. New players, optional for elementary school students and recommended for middle school students, may tryout Jackson Fury by attending the Fall registration tryout on May 17 or by making an appointment to attend a practice with their age group. If you have any questions, please contact Jackson Fury.

• I play with Jackson Fury now, do I have to register?
  YES, but it is easy! ALL Parents must complete the online registration process for their children for the Fall 2024 season.

• I missed registration. Can I register late?
  MAYBE. Please contact Jackson Fury. Open rosters spots on teams will be filled with late registrations. Roster spots will not be held based on phone calls or emails so it is very important to promptly complete the registration process if an open spot does exist!

• When are practices? When are games?
  For Fall outdoor soccer, there are typically two practices per week starting between 4:30 and 6:30 PM, for 1-1/2 hour, Monday through Friday, at the Jackson Park Soccer Fields or Jackson High School. Practices for players in Middle School may start as early as 3:15 PM in the Fall. Games are typically on Sunday but a few games will also be scheduled by the league on weeknight evenings.

• How much experience is required to play travel soccer?
  Minimal experience is required for 7-11 year olds since Jackson Fury coaches will provide basic soccer training at these age groups. New 12-15 year old players should be athletic with several years of recreational soccer experience.

• Do I have to attend evaluations or tryouts?
  No. All players who register by the published deadline will be assigned to an age appropriate, travel team. Basic soccer instruction is provided for players 7 to 11 years old and many new players start with little experience. New players may attend a club practice so that they can experience and try-out a typical Jackson Fury soccer practice before parents make the necessary time and financial commitments. Rarely are players cut but, occasionally, new players do not enjoy the effort required to play travel soccer and drop-out.

• What schools do current players attend?
  Current Jackson Fury players attend Jackson Memorial Middle School, Strausser Elementary, Sauder Elementary, Lake Cable Elementary, Amherst Elementary, St. Marys, St. Phillips and James, St. Michaels, St. Pauls, Northwest Local, Perry Local, Green, N. Canton and Massillon schools. Except for special situations, travel team players are encouraged to stay with their local community soccer club if they have an age appropriate girls or boys team that plays in the community focused Ohio Travel Soccer League.
