Skillability 3v3 Summer League - Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions about 3v3...

​

What is 3v3 soccer, how is it played?

3v3 is a small-sided game of soccer where 3 players are on a small field  (30X40 yards) against 3 other players. This allows for many touches on the ball, as each player is 33% of the team on the field. Games are 20 mins long and tend to be fast-paced with lots of excitement and is great for helping to develop players.

Why should my player / team get involved with 3v3?

It's no secret that small-sided games improve a player's soccer skills by increasing their opportunities to play the ball and interact with their teammates. Since players play both offense and defense on the small field, 3v3 allows players to discover new aspects of the game while enjoying more action.
Most teams see immediate results over the summer by playing 3v3 as their players keep up on their conditioning, hone the "touch" on the ball and keep their skills sharp.
 

Who can play in the Skillability 3v3 league?

Registration for the Skillability 3v3 Leagues is open to all teams from ages 8 to 18, male and female. Both recreational and competitive select teams are welcome and encouraged. We aim to try to provide an opportunity for everyone to play competitive / challenging games of 3v3 soccer.

Do we need a licensed / carded coach?

Skillability 3v3 does not require licensed coaches, in fact most teams are coached by trainers or enthusiastic parents.  

​

My player doesn't have a team, can I register a single player?

Currently, we're only accepting team registrations.  We can take names of interested players in case we're approached by teams looking for players, but we cannot guarantee placement.

How do I register my team?

You can register your team online here at this site. Look for the registration link at the left. Team registrations will close early June 12, 2017 at midnight.  We cannot guarantee spots in the league for any entries made after this date.

How do I pay for my team?

We can currently accept the following forms of payment:

1. Online payment (via credit card) during the online registration process checkout. 

2. Cash or Checks made out to Kick Fit Soccer (either mailed to the address below or handed in at the event)

I just registered my team, what happens next?

After registration is completed online, please remember to send in your full fees by the registration deadline (midnight June 12, 2017). We'll be sending you more information closer to the start of the games via email. 
To get ready for the league, please download and complete the following documents that are due the first night of competition if not done online:

• Official team roster 

• Waiver forms  (signature needed for each player on your team, including subs) 

There are spots for 6 players on the roster and waiver. If additional players are to be participating, please use the supplemental roster form and additional waiver sheets. Any player participating in the league must be represented on a roster / waiver sheet turned into Skillability 3v3 HQ.

When do we get our league t-shirts?

 Each player on a rostered team (up to 6, additionals are available for order) will receive a Skillability 3v3 t-shirt with their registration.  Shirt sizes are due along with team paperwork (the first night of competition) and the shirts normally arrive by the third or fourth week of competition.  For game play, most teams wear the same colored shirts of their choosing (or jerseys if they have them) and also bring a spare color (like black or white) in case of conflicts. 

When will the game schedules be available?

Schedules should be available prior to the first games starting. Once registration has closed we will work on schedules and release them by Monday before the games begin Wednesday. 

We want more games. Can I register more than one team?

Skillability 3v3 is all about development and touches on the ball, however due to scheduling constraints, we cannot accept more than one registration for a team with the same roster of players. 
 

What if our team can't play a scheduled game?

In the event that circumstances prevent a team from playing a scheduled game / event night, PLEASE make every effort to let us know as much in advance as possible.

If at all possible, teams should seek to find subs (who should appear on the roster and waiver) and play all games as scheduled, however, once the schedule is published and if we have sufficient notice (at least 24 hours), we may be able to adjust the schedule.

If we are not notified in time or if this is not possible due to scheduling constraints, we will offer the slot to another team as a scrimmage. In this situation, we will not be able to offer a make up game to the original team.

Where are the game results posted each week?

Scores and Standings will be posted on our website for the competitive divisions. We will not post scores or standings for the recreational division

​

Do you offer medals for the winners?

Medals will given to the top 3 teams at the conclusion of the week 6 playoffs. Gold, Silver and Bronze.

Where can I find the rules for the league?

What documents do I need for the team?

Each team must submit a completed online or paper version of the Official Skillability 3v3 roster and also the signed waiver form with a parent/guardian signature for each player. These forms are available on this site in the "Documents" section as pdf files and can be turned in the first night of competition. All players participating in league games must be represented on the roster and waiver form.

The Official 3v3 Roster is available as a pdf file in the "documents" section of this site along with the team waiver. You'll need to print a copy of these forms and fill them out on paper. All players participating in league games must be represented on the roster and waiver form. Both of these documents must be completed with signatures and submitted by the night of the first games.

What happens if there aren't enough teams in a specific division to hold games?

We will try to match competition levels to guarantee participation. Sometimes it's possible to mix gender groups and play games across age levels to provide for a competitive environment. 
If it turns out that we cannot offer games for a specific division due to lack of registration, we will refund team fees to the teams involved.
