REFUNDS
No refunds of registration fees will be allowed after players are registered with Mayes County Soccer Association, except in cases of financial hardship, medical reasons, a move by the player to an area outside the Club’s boundary or failure of the Club to place a player on a MCSA team roster. Such refunds will be in the amount of one-half (½) of the registration fee paid, except in the case of failure of the Club to place a player on a MCSC team roster which shall constitute a full refund. No refunds shall be granted after the first regular season game. In the event of a season cancelation, ordered by a federal, state or local government, such as a pandemic, in which the registration fees are not refunded to MCSA by OSA or other fee charging entity, no registration fee will be refunded by MCSA.
We group all kids on the even age groups only for example: U7 and U8 will play together.
What to expect with the age change:
The change takes effect for the Fall Season of 2026.
Returning Players from Spring 2026 season – we are NOT MANDATING that everyone automatically play in their new designated age group because players are engaged when they play with friends and familiar teammates.
Players and Teams from previous seasons that wish to remain intact will be allowed, but that team will be moved to the the age group of the oldest player, as defined by the new age brackets. (If you are now a U10 player and want to play with your team from the spring that is now U12, you can still do this, but you will be playing a year up in the U12 Group)
When you register for Fall 2026, the system will make you register for your NEW age group. If you wish to play with a team that is now older, please let us know in the notes/comments section of the registration.
New Players – will be placed in their age group, based on this change, unless otherwise requested in their registration.
Playing Down - Playing down an age group, regardless of the reason is not allowed. New or inexperienced players will still be required to play with their designated age group.
