Who are we?
The Bennington Rolph Road Soccer Association is a non-profit, volunteer-run soccer house league that runs in the fall for girls and boys from 5 to 17 years of age. We are affiliated with the United Soccer Club and USC Academy, which provides opportunities and resources to the players in our league. The goal of our community-based league is to help players gain soccer skills and experience, be physically active and develop emotionally through participating in a team sport.

Who organizes the league?
This league is entirely run by volunteers. A small group of volunteers make up the 'organizing committee' and are responsible for planning and organizing this league. Parents volunteer as coaches, assistant coaches and managers. One parent out of every four families who participates in this league needs to volunteer in order to meet all the volunteer requirements of this league.

Where are the games played?
The games for the 02/03, 00/01 & 98/99 age groups are played using reduced field and net sizes, so that two or three games take place on the same field at the same time; either at Bennington Heights or Rolph Road School. The games for the 95/96/97 & 91/92/93/94 age groups are played using full fields and full net sizes, so that only one game can take place on a field; either at Leaside High or Rolph Road School.

How are teams compiled?
As this is a house league, players receive equal playing time.
In order to have fair games, teams are compiled based on player abilities so we are unable to fulfill requests to have players on the same team except for siblings. In the fall, teams may be rebalanced to ensure games are evenly matched.

What are the key responsibilities of the volunteer coaches?
Coaches are responsible for coaching the players during team practices and the games. It is important that coaches have some understanding of how soccer is played so they can help their players develop. Assistant coaches are responsible for supporting the coaches during team practices and games. Volunteer time for coaches and assistant coaches is basically practice and game time. For all who are interested, there will be a 2 - hour coaches’ clinic in September.

The coaches, assistant coaches and managers for this league are recruited from the parents and older siblings of the players in this league. Parents are asked to assist coaches and assistant coaches on the field if the need arises.
