I have 2 children very close in age. Can the younger child play on the same team with his/her brother/sister?
Pickering Soccer Club policy is that players should play with their own age group as much as possible. It would be unfair to turn away a player who legitimately belongs in an age group as a result of taking a younger player. However, if there are reasons deemed legitimate for the play up request, the director of the division and/or VP of Operations will undertake to interview the player and parent and make a determination. If a player is moved up to the next age division, the parent will be required to sign a waiver agreeing to the move. Occasionally, rather than leave players on waiting lists, we may move players up when a division is full and the next higher division needs additional players. This is only done at the clubs discretion and again, parents must confirm approval via a waiver. NOTE: A registration cannot be accepted that is dependent on this or any other condition.
