Important Info Ahead of the Fall 2026 Season

Written By Wilton Soccer

Hi WSA Families!

The Fall 2026 soccer season is almost here! Please read the important information below and complete any action items.

Code of Conduct

Participation in WSA means players and families uphold the WSA Standards and Code of Conduct.

  • WSA has a zero-tolerance policy for violations. Please review the Code of Conduct with your player and anyone who attends games or practices.

Uniforms

  • Uniforms are unchanged from last season

  • New players should order uniforms through MyUniform / Soccer & Rugby - all should have received an email

  • Returning players can order replacement items as needed through MyUniform/Soccer & Rugby

  • If you haven't ordered yet, please do so immediately. Delivery can take 3–4+ weeks, and first games are Sunday, August 30

  • We also recommend purchasing cleats soon, as inventory becomes limited this time of year

Parent Zoom Meeting

A preseason parent Zoom meeting is planned for the August 19th at 8:30PM via Zoom. Details will be added to your team's PlayMetrics schedule.

PlayMetrics

PlayMetrics is WSA's communication platform for:

  • Team rosters

  • Schedules

  • Team messaging

Please update or reinstall the app, verify your player's profile, and add family members if needed. Coaches and team managers will use PlayMetrics for all season communications and schedule updates. The use of the mobile app eliminates thousands of emails and streamlines communications for WSA, managers and teams.

Practices

  • First practices: Week of August 24

  • Practice schedules and locations will be available in PlayMetrics soon

Parents on Duty (POD)

Each family will be assigned Parents on Duty a few times during the season for practices. PODs attend practices to assist coaches in case another adult is needed.

  • Team managers will assign POD dates

  • If you can't attend your assigned date, please arrange a swap with another family

  • Every practice must have a POD

Bus Transportation to Ambler/Hurlbutt

For teams practicing immediately after school:

  • Your player may begin using the bus to Ambler/Hurlbutt the week of September 8, but no sooner as as buses typically run late during the first two weeks of school

  • You must indicate your child’s bus plan on School's Dismissal Manager.

  • A POD must meet buses at the bottom of the Ambler driveway. If no adult is present, players will remain on the bus and be returned to school.

  • Players should be able to get themselves ready for practice with minimal assistance.

Cider Mill Students Practicing at Comstock

  • Indicate that your player will be walking to Comstock for soccer in School Dismissal Manager

  • Players should walk to the field and be met by a POD at dismissal

  • Players should get themselves ready for practice

Practice Gear:

  • Soccer ball

  • Shin guards (required) under socks

  • Soccer cleats

  • Water bottle

WSA practice apparel is encouraged - available when you purchase uniforms.

Jewelry

NO earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, or other jewelry may be worn during practices or games. This is a FIFA/CJSA rule. Taping over earrings is not permitted.

Team Managers Needed

Every team needs one or two volunteer team managers.

Returning managers have been reassigned. New teams still need volunteers. If you're interested, please email david.nuttall@wiltonsoccer.info.
