Recreational

May 18, 2026 – July 19, 2026

Special requests need to be made on the registration form under "special requests". Requests will be carefully considered, but there are no guarantees.

NOT required for recreational players.

First games are scheduled for Saturday, September 12th with the last game scheduled for Saturday, October 24th. All games are at Fir Grove Fields. Please be advised there are a limited number of parking spaces so be mindful about arriving early enough to park. We have made efforts to space games out to better accommodate this issue.

All practices and games are at Fir Grove fields off Harvard.

You will hear from your coach a week or two before the first scheduled game. The office has no way of knowing when you will hear from your coach, when practices will be or who your coach will be until just before season starts. We know your player is anxious but please be patient and wait to hear from your coach. If for some reason you haven't heard from your coach by August 28th, please email the office at info@umpquaunited.org so we can follow up.

One of the digital agreements you signed when registering your player was that you would provide a Medical Release Form. These are available in the office and can be filled out and signed on the first night of practices or game day. This agreement to sign the Medical Release Form is only an option if we get the signed forms for all players, either in hard copy or digitally. Please make this a priority in order to not hinder the registration process in the future. We only need one medical release per year and we collect them in the Fall each year.

The recreational players will receive one jersey for the season. This jersey is required for Saturday game play. If you forget to bring your player's jersey you can check with your coach to see if they have a "blood" jersey; if not, there is a replacement cost of $15 and it takes approximately 7–10 business days to get the jersey. The office does not have loaners.

Photo sessions for the 2026 Fall Recreational Teams are being scheduled. Your coach will be notified of your team's scheduled slot about a week in advance. Coaches are advised to post this information in the GameChanger App. Photo order forms can be found in the office if you do not receive one or misplace yours.

If you or someone you know is interested in being a ref, please ask them to email their interest and contact information to info@umpquaunited.org. If you refer someone and they become a referee and ref during the season for 3 or more Saturdays, you will receive a one-time $10 referral bonus. You must be 12 in order to become a youth referee for us.

Interested in earning more per game? For those refs who attend our Referee Training Class (TBD), you will receive an extra $3 for each game you ref for the season. You must attend the training each season in order to receive the pay increase. Please register for this training by emailing info@umpquaunited.org.

We use GameChanger App for team communication and event/program announcements. Please download the app and get your account registered so you are ready to receive correspondence from your team leaders.

We desperately need volunteer coaches each and every season. No experience required. We offer a training each season with lots of resources. All coaches, including any parents that wish to help with practices and/or games, must complete a background check (done through OYSA) and a few trainings in order to be on the fields with the players. Please log in to your account and sign up as a volunteer today!
