Is the RC United Soccer Club a Non-Profit?
Yes, we're a registered non-profit, none of the executive, or board members are paid. The club constitution explicitly forbids paying the executives. This does not prevent paying other staff such as coaches, coordinators, admin or field maintenance.
When will my team practice?
Youth (U11-U18) team practices are picked by the coaches and based off field availability. Once the coaches book their team practices, the coaches will share it with their team.
Do I have to attend tryouts?
No. Tryouts are not mandatory.
Do I have to attend assessments?
Yes. Assessments are different then tryouts. For assessments we are trying to assessing all players to either make sure they are on the correct team, or to make sure teams are even (skill wise). Sometimes we will have multiple teams at the same level, example 2 U13 Girls Second Division, and we want to make sure they are evenly skilled.
Are coaches paid?
None of our youth coaches are paid; to keep costs lower for our players, we have not taken this direction.
*Although, we do pay an honorarium to our student coaches (U13-U18) who help coach our grassroots for 10 weeks during the summer.
Do we offer courses for coaches / referees?
Coaching and referee courses are available independently and through PEI Soccer, in person and online. The club will reimburse for courses and certifications (with some limits) once completed.
Are there vacancies in the executive / who runs the club?
The club executive currently consists of a President, a Vice President, a Treasurer, and a Secretary.
There are always vacancies arising in both the board and director positions, please contact rcunited.executive@gmail.com if you are interested or would like more information.
Do the U9 teams play in a league?
Yes, an internal U9 house league, however this isn't guaranteed from one year to the next.
The U9 league is a new program introduced by Sherwood in approx 2019. It's run by volunteers, not PEI Soccer, which is why we don't get the game schedule until a few days before. 2021 is the first year the North Shore was invited to join - previously it only included clubs in Charlottetown (Sherwood, Winsloe and sometimes Stratford.) Clubs outside the central PEI area aren't included at this point and don't have this opportunity. There is also a west league that includes Clippers, Summerside, and Kensington.
Do you offer family discounts?
Yes. We offer discounts to families with 3 or more registering grassroots and/or youth players. Please email rcunited.executive@gmail.com all the players names in your family and their birth year.
Can I request to play on my friends team?
Please email rcunited.executive@gmail.com both players that would like to be on the same team and age division. If applicable Ramblers or Clippers.
