About Meyerland Soccer Club
The club offers soccer for 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 year olds. There is one practice during the week (different teams practice on either Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday), and games are on Sunday afternoons starting at 1:30, 2:30, 3:30 or 4:30. Practices and games will likely occur at one of several Meyerland locations (including possibly at the Merfish Center field at the corner of S. Rice and Chimney Rock, Godwin Park, Johnston Middle School and/or Lovett Elementary School). 

You do not need to be an ERJCC member to play with the club. There is NOT a registration deadline but team assignment priorities are based in part on first-in-time registrations. Thus, if you want to practice on a certain day or be on a certain team (or if you have a friend request you want to play with), the people that register first will generally get their preferences before people that register later. Teams will start to be formed in late January or early February. The earlier you register, the better chance of having your requests honored (i.e. First come, first served).

Practices will start in mid-to-late February, and games will start towards the end of February.  ince the new club is not governed by HYSA, the club offers both small sided (i.e. 3 v. 3 and 4 v. 4) games as well as full field 7 v. 7 games (with goalies). We have several veteran coaches coming from another local soccer club joining the new Meyerland Soccer Club (and we are looking for new, enthusiastic volunteer coaches), and we expect to have 4-5 U8 teams and 5-7 U6 teams for the spring season.

It is a family friendly soccer club.  The whole key is to have kids have a good time playing soccer.  Every child plays at least one half, and kids are encouraged to play all positions. At this level, the goal is to simply have the kids enjoy being part of a team, get good exercise and enjoy playing soccer. The league stresses sportsmanship and stresses positive competitive games, and the kids really seem to enjoy it. Even the kids who have not played before will have a good time playing in this club, and the volunteer coaches strive to make sure the kids simply have a great time.
