LOCATION CHANGE - WAGGONER PARK

NEW LOCATION 

We were just informed of a location change for this season.  Due to scheduling conflicts at Hangar Park, we have been moved to Waggoner Park, which many of you are probably familiar with the location.  When you register, Hangar/Cielo will not be listed.  Make sure you register for the WAGGONER PARK location (see below).

Waggoner Park

1100 E. Carver Rd.

Tempe, AZ 85284

PAYMENT CHANGES

Another change you'll notice is the payment.  Since fees are now paid directly through ActivStars, not Kyrene, there are two options: Pay in Full OR Pay registration & first class then payment deducts weekly.  All transactions will be made online, as we are not allowed to accept payments in person.  

VOUCHERS

Many of you who prepaid for tournament last season have (or should have) a voucher for tournament fees.  If you prepaid and did not receive a voucher, please contact the ActivStars office. Vouchers can be used for equipment or merchandise through ActivStars.  All students a required to purchase a pinnie/vest this semester, since we are unable to share equipment (see below).  If you want to use your voucher for equipment/pinnie purchase, contact michael@activstars.com.  If you want to use your voucher to pay for classes, register online and pay for registration and the first class.  Then, bring the voucher to the first class, and it will be applied to the cost.

NO EQUIPMENT SALES

Due to the fact that we are technically using parks as opposed to being sponsored by schools, we are not allowed to take payments of any kind at practice.  Therefore, we will not be able to sell equipment on site.  Shin guards and balls can be purchased online through ActivStars or at any sporting goods store.  

OTHER UPDATES

Keep an eye out for updates on the blog/email this week.  I'll send a more comprehensive email later this week, so you are have all the information you need for 

WE ARE BACK!!! Fall Season Start - September 26th

 It has been a lonnnnnnnng time since we've hit the pitch to play soccer, and we have the green light!  

First, we hope you all are doing well.  We know that the past six months has been difficult for so many, and we have been constantly thinking about you.  As things are still constantly changing, we are excited to at least be able to meet again and start playing soccer.  Our girls have been begging to start, and I've heard many of your kids are as well.

As with everything, you are going to see changes to maintain the upmost safety.  What won't change, is our dedication to soccer and the amazing families we love to see every week.

Our location for this season is Hangar Park in Tempe, which is the same general area as our previous sites.  Activstars prides themselves in their school partnerships, but at the current time, they were unable to do so.  In the meantime, we have a great park to play and are excited to get going.

Due to the fact that it is a city park, we are unable to take any type of payment.  This isn't entirely new to our location, since we are used to using Kyrene for payments.  However, this means that we will not be selling any soccer gear the first three weeks on-site, and payments will be made directly through ActivStars.

Right now, the most important thing to do is REGISTER for the fall season.  Please use the link below to register for our fall season starting on September 26th.  We will not be able to take payment on-site, so please register and pay (payments or full) before that date.  We don't know if/when they will need to cap our numbers, so the sooner you can register, the better!

I will be posting more information about the upcoming season, changes, check-in procedures, etc., so we will be keeping you posted.
