FAQ's
Q: When and how can I register for a class?
A: Email us at tots@framsoccer.org to join our email mailing list. Sessions start January, April, June and September. Once priority re-enrollment is complete with current players we send out any remaining availability to our mailing list. Space is then filled first come, first served. Our programs are VERY popular so it’s a good idea to respond quickly once your receive the eNewsletter. We offer priority re-enrollment to families between the 6th and 8th week of the session and then fill any open space in the order requests are received and space always fills FAST.
Q: What age are your programs for?
A: Tots - 3 to 5 years
TK/Kinder - 5yrs+
Sixes - Kinder+ (5.5yrs+ through to 8th birthday)
Camp - DETAILS FOR SPRING & SUMMER COMING SOON
Q: Do the kids play soccer games?
A: No, Soccer for Tots classes are weekly soccer practices and kids follow the coach through exercises and drills. This age-appropriate format allows our Tots to develop their soccer skills at their own pace without the pressure of competition. Our Soccer for Sixes program introduces some one-v-one or two-v-two play once the groups are developmentally ready for it.
Q: I’m not sure which color uniform my child needs?
A: As we don’t play competitively children don’t have to have a certain color. Tots can pick there favorite from our uniform order form (included with the registration forms) and Sixes classes all wear the same.
Q: My child isn’t 3 yet but is very coordinated and really wants to play - can we join?
A: We get asked this a lot and, although we look forward to welcoming you into our classes, experience has shown us that it isn’t wise to take kids under 3 into the program. Children do develop at different rates and even at 3 some kids still aren’t quite ready to join in. Although your 2 year old may be raring to go, most do not want to participate fully for more than a few minutes at a time and haven’t developed the listening skills and attention span to really get the most our of our program. You are welcome to join the mailing list before their 3rd birthday so that your receive registration info for the session after they turn 3.
Q: My child turns 3 in 2 months time - how soon can we join?
A: It’s a good idea to get on our mailing list before you child turns 3 and look out for our registration eNewsletters sent out 4x per year in advance of each session. If you child will turn 3 within the first few weeks of a session AND we have a younger 3’s group with space they would qualify to join that session.
Q: Can we join mid-session?
A: Most of our classes usually fill in advance but if space does become available we take kids through the 4th week of a session (and do pro-rate). After that you would need to wait for the next session.
Q: Do we have to be a Palos Verdes resident to register?
A: No our classes are open to all - but again space is very limited so joining the mailing list early is a good idea.
Q: What payment methods do you accept?
A: After a space has been offered to you digital payment is due immediately via ZELLE. Details will be included in the email offering you a spot.
Q: Do you offer make-up’s?
A: We only schedule make-ups if we cancel a class due to the weather or field closures. In that case we add a class at the end of the session. We do not offer make-up’s for missed classes. Our program works so well due to the fact that we keep our class sizes small and the coach gets to know the group that he or she is working with.
Q: What happens if the weather is bad?
A: If the weather is bad (or we have had heavy rain in the days leading up to your class), you should check our Facebook page here for class updates. We post class status the day of class IF classes are canceled so check before heading to the field.
Q: Can we register for more than one class per week - or more than one session?
A: If your child loves the program you can register for multiple classes if space is available. Once you are in the program you will receive Priority Re-enrollment for the following session. Sign up’s for that are done via email with Zelle payment and as long as we receive your payment by the specified date your space will be held for you. Most families stay in our program for multiple years, and return with multiple siblings :)
Q: Can we bring siblings to class?
A: Siblings and other fans are welcome to come to watch classes but please make sure that any kids not registered for the class remain on the sidelines with an adult and are supervised at all times.
Q: What about dogs?
A: We love pups, but Nansen Field is a private facility and we aren’t allowed to have them at the field.
Q: Where do we send our registration forms?
A: Once a spot is offered to you completed registration forms should be emailed to tots@framsoccer.com.
Q: Do you offer soccer for older kids?
A: We do! FRAM Soccer Club offers youth soccer instruction and team competition for U7 to U18. Email admin@framsoccer.com for more information on our older programs and upcoming team tryouts.
Q: Where is your field?
A: Nansen Field is a private soccer facility located at 15 Hidden Valley Drive, Rolling Hills Estates, CA, 90274. See map below.
