Group Training FAQ
Is the free trial really free, with no commitment?
Yes. The trial session has no cost and no obligation to enroll. If it's not the right fit, there's nothing to cancel.
What happens after the free trial if we want to continue?
You'll create a free DaySmart Recreation account and sign the waiver there, then enroll in the class time and level that fits your player. Full detail is in "What happens after you submit" above.
How are players placed into a level (Pre-Academy, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Elite)?
Coach Ray places players based on experience and current pace of play during the free trial, not strictly by age. See "Find the right level" above for what each tier looks like.
What should my player bring to a session?
Cleats, shin guards, a ball if they have one, and water. Sessions run rain or shine unless North County Soccer Park closes the fields.
What if we need to reschedule or miss a class?
Contact the team as early as possible. Open enrollment means there is flexibility to catch up in another session during the same session block.
