GAMES WILL NOT BE CANCELLED FOR RAIN, unless lightning is present. We encourage playing through light rain or cold weather conditions. We recommend you attend your games with the intent of playing, and then if the rain becomes heavier or does not abate you may consider abandoning the game with mutual consent of both coaches. It is the policy of Impact United Soccer Club to cancel any game or practice at the FIRST sign of LIGHTNING. If there is enough snow accumulation that prevents the lines from being seen at your game field, the game is automatically cancelled. In some cases we have agreed to not to play at certain venues if the ground is extremely wet. We will advise you if your game is at one of those locations. If you don’t hear from us, your game is on. For any other reasons to cancel a game, both coaches must mutually agree. If a game is canceled, the coaches must notify the Referee Assignor for your age group /field at least one hour prior to game time so the referees can be contacted. The Referee Assignor’s Name and Phone Number is listed on the Schedule Page for your Age Group. There will be no rescheduled games.

We cannot guarantee that friends will be placed on the same competition team. Requests can be made to the involved coaches, but kids are placed on teams based on skill level and team needs. If playing with friends is the main intention, the Impact Recreation Program would be more flexible to accommodate.
Those who do not make a team can still train in the Winter Academy Sessions and play in the Recreation program. The teams are continually evaluated to make sure everyone is playing at the appropriate level. The coaches and Competition committee will do their best to have every player that wants to tryout, make a team. They also have to ensure that there is enough players to form a solid team.

If additional photos are desired, individual players may order directly from the photographer. See our Picture Schedule and Order Form for more information. Player Registration fees include the basic picture package. Please make team pictures a priority so each player can have the promised package. The photographer will have team rosters at picture time. Players not on the roster will not be in the team picture. Please insure the team roster is accurate to avoid discrepancies and disappointment. Pictures and Awards are handed out by coaches during the spring season. If coaches cannot pick up pictures, they will need to arrange to pick them up directly from the photographer.

Game schedules will be available online about one week prior to the start of each season. Impact United is generally located in the Highland, Skyline, East, Olympus and Cottonwood High School geographic areas. Our game fields are located throughout these neighborhoods.

In some instances, coaches may need to utilize local parks before they can have access to the rented fields. Practice field reservations will take place both in the fall and the spring seasons. Coaches will reach out to their players once they have secured their practice field, day and time. Most teams practice once per week during the season.
Once a practice field has been secured by the coach, they should reach out to the team. This generally takes place 1-2 weeks before the season begins.
Impact United Recreation program is a volunteer organization. We rely on parent volunteers to coach their children. We can only create teams if we have parents willing to coach those teams.

Impact United has determined the team size limit using recommendations from UYSA for maximum player opportunity and development. U-5, U-6, and U-7 play 4 v. 4 with a maximum team size of 8 players. U-8 and U-9 play 6 v. 6 with a maximum team size of 10 players. U-10 through U-18 play 8 v. 8 with a maximum team size of 12.
Teams will be formed honoring player requests for a specific coach or to play with a friend, in as much as possible. However, this only applies up to the maximum team size and on a first come, first serve basis. Further, Impact United reserves the right to adjust teams for size and/or competitive balance. After player requests are considered, we try to group players together by geographic area using the Elementary School boundary in which players live as a guideline. Priority will be given first to all returning players who register by May 31st. New players who register in May will be added on a first come first basis. All players who register after May 31st (whether returning or new) will be added on a first come first serve basis. Impact United makes every effort to honor your requests within the guidelines and limitations we have. When other options are not available, players will be placed on teams that need players.
