Your U-Age can be found by subtracting your child's birth year from the end of season year (i.e. 2018-2019, you use 2019). For example, if your child was born in 2007 and you are playing in the fall of the 2019-2020 seasonal year, your child is a U-13 player (2020 - 2007 = 13).

WSC is partly funded by Parks and Rec, but is almost entirely funded by registration fees, and minimally funded by sponsorships and fundraising. Player fees mostly go to: State Dues/Insurance, Field and Facility maintenance, Referee Payments, Professional Coaching, and lighting the field. The little that is sometimes leftover gets funneled to special projects, such as the lights, fence, clubhouse improvements, new goals, player and coaching equipment, etc.

These are different levels of play. In Waterford (note these terms and how they are applied vary a lot around the country), our Rec program refers to players who are U8 and below who play only intra-club games (other Waterford teams).  Travel is also considered "travel" (play neighboring towns) and is the highest level of competition our club offers. Travel players represent the highest skill level Waterford has, and teams are selected to be competitive and challenging. More is expected of our Travel players, coaches, and teams. Premier is also known as "Club Soccer" and in many parts of the country is also referred to as "Travel." Premier clubs demand higher fees so they can hire professional coaches, travel greater distances, and face very competitive teams within our state and beyond. WSC does not offer a Premier soccer program, but there are a number of local clubs who do (Southeast Soccer Club, Mendonca Soccer Academy, and Connecticut Rush). Players who play travel may also play recreational soccer (Classic) with WSC.
