Inclement Weather Policies:

Soccer is a game played in the rain.  We will cancel only for severe or threatening weather, or if the Park District closes the fields for poor field conditions.

The following is our inclement weather procedures.  Rockford Park District contacts the RYSL League Administrator and makes a decision as to if games will be played. A decision on weather will be made at 4:00pm.  If games are to be cancelled, RYSL parents can find out in the following ways:

• Our website www.raptoryouthsoccer.com
• Our Facebook page
• Twitter Feed

We will schedule make up games within the season for games missed due to weather cancellation. Parents will be given notice as to when the make up games will occur. 

If your family has not heard from your child's coach, please contact the coordinator in your age group.

Raptor Tots is a parent participation class for toddlers ages 18 months through 3 years.

Raptor Tots classes are based on an age-appropriate curriculum that will engage your child, and promote motor skill development, through a variety of games and activities. Through experience, we have found that children at this young age, learn best through repetition. With a parent participating by their side, kids will have fun learning basic soccer skills, like running, kicking, chasing and listening. Our classes incorporate fun games with the use of bubbles, noodles, balls, cones, parachutes, hoops, and lots of goal scoring and more!
