Fall Recreation Information
Introduction
Welcome to Fusion Soccer Club. The Recreation Program is the foundation of Fusion Soccer Club. The program is designed to give each player the chance to play for the love of the game without the emphasis of high level competition and time commitment. The purpose of the Recreation Program is to provide an opportunity for the participant to have fun, learn the sport and develop life skills including a life long love of the game. The Recreation program runs only in the fall season which starts in August and ends in November. Teams are coached by a volunteer parent head coach who is required to attend various Fusion Soccer Club coaching seminars, that provide them with insight and confidence to coach young soccer players.
Recreation has teams from U5 > U14
We have Regional Play for U15 > U19
The program is offered to Boys and Girls. There is no limit to the amount of teams in the program. Recreational age groups are birth year pure from U5 thru U10 then combine every other year for U12 & U14. Traveling Regional League age groups are combined as U16 & U18/U19, depending on their birth year and available age groups in their division.
U5-U14 teams will play in a house league created by Livermore Fusion Soccer Club and will be registered under CYSA. All U15-U19 players will participate in Regional Play under US Club Soccer in the NorCal Premier Nickel or Bronze division.

Friend or Coach Requests - Fall 2021
We are just as excited as the players to be back on the field, and to further support their transition back, we are providing players with the opportunity to request to be placed with up to 3 close friends OR a favorite coach.
Please make note of the following requirements for placing requests:
- Requests are optional and will only be accepted at the time of registration. Due to the volume of participants in the program, requests sent via email or phone will not be considered.
- In order for requests to be considered, all requested individuals MUST be from within the same Age Group (birth year) and Division as the player making the request.
PLEASE NOTE: Requests are not guaranteed. While we will do our absolute best to accommodate as many as possible, there are factors that go into team formations which may not allow for all requests to be honored (roster limits, amount of teams, etc).
We appreciate everyone's understanding as we aim to support each of our Fusion members to the best of our ability.

Refund Policy
Fall Recreational Program
We understand that circumstances may change between registration in the Spring and the start of the soccer season in the Fall. Cancelations, relocation, injuries, change in schedule or interests are some examples. There are administrative costs that the organization incurs with registration and planning for the season (administrative, staff, insurance, equipment, etc.). Therefore, the refund amount is reduced the longer you wait to cancel your registration and apply for a refund.
This information is as follows:
- Requests submitted thru May 31, 2021 = Full Refund, minus $25 admin fee
- Requests submitted between June 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021 = 30% refund
- Requests submitted between July 1, 2021 through July 14, 2021 = 50% refund
- Requests submitted as of July 15, 2021 = No refund unless the program is cancelled.
If the program is cancelled, and never started, a full refund will be given minus a $25 admin fee (per player).
If the program begins, and is cancelled at any time during the season, a prorated refund will be given based on the amount of time the program was active.
Why an admin fee? Staff members must be paid to prepare for the running of the programs throughout the year. In addition, league and insurance fees are paid for each player upon completion of their registration to participate in the program. The admin fee is to cover these costs and ensure no debt is created.
