Frequently Asked Questions
Commitment
Club soccer requires commitment from both players and parents. When your child accepts a spot on their team, they are required to commit to play in the Fall and Spring seasons.
Fees (Birth Years 2005 - 2014 teams)
Player fees typically range between $500 - $750, which covers Fall season, winter training, and spring season, plus a one time non-refundable club fee of $175 that is required to hold the spot for both seasons. Payment plans are available. The club fee is collected when the player accepts a spot on the team. Some of our top level older teams may pay more in team fees as they will be playing in multiple leagues and usually more tournaments. The player fee includes league, player, tournament, referee and misc. fees. Uniform costs are separate and are approximately $165. Uniforms typically are purchased every two years.
U6, U7 & U8 Teams (Birth Years 2015, 2016 & 2017)
These teams are our academy development teams and play in the Development League. Players are rostered on one team (per age group) that train and play together. We feel that every child develops at different times and this gives the coaches time to evaluate each player before placing them on a more competitive team. Player fees are $175 and include both Fall and Spring season and two uniform shirts.
U9 - U18 Teams (Birth Years 2005 – 2014)
These teams are divided by skill and competitiveness. Our older teams will compete in several leagues around the Cincinnati area.
Player Evaluations/Tryouts
New this year, a player may attend any age group training session as their tryout. We will also hold supplemental tryouts the week of November 1. We follow the guidelines of Ohio Youth Soccer Association. Please email our director of coaching to set up a player evaluation; jami@impactgfc.com. Or feel free to call with questions - 513-312-0547 / Jami Eversole
Playing Other Sports
Yes, we encourage our players to be involved in other sports and activities. While it may take away from potential soccer training time, our philosophy is that it will help them learn other skills, develop additional muscle groups and reduce stress from repetitive motion, and will keep their interest in soccer longer. All we ask is that you don’t take advantage of this freedom/flexibility and make sure you treat both sports/activities as equals. Top tier teams may require a more commitment once the team reaches the U11/U12 level.
Practices
Most of the teams will have 1 1/2 hour training sessions twice a week. Optional skills training is offered once a week for every team throughout the year, including winter (indoors, of course). Practices are held within the Loveland/Miami Township/Symmes Township area.
Season
The soccer season runs from August to late May, with winter activities as optional (but recommended for our top level teams).
Games
Most league games are played on Saturdays or Sundays, with the exception of a few weeknight games during the season. Games are played throughout the Greater Cincinnati area. Our older, more competitive teams, will have a few games in the Columbus and Dayton area. Teams will typically play in 12-18 games a seasons (which includes tournaments).
Tournaments
Teams will typically play in at least two tournaments per season. We encourage our older teams to participate in some out of town tournaments for team bonding and to make memories for the players.
Player Evaluations/Tryouts
Impact GFC is looking to expand roster sizes for the Spring 2023 season. We will also be starting our 2017 Academy program as well. Players may be invited to join an appropriate age group training session this Fall season to be evaluated. Impact will also hold supplemental tryouts the week of November 1.
