Little Panthers (PreK 4 through 2nd Grade)
Registration: players can register for the full year, or just Spring (which will open in January). This is because in general these grades have hardly any attrition into the Spring. For those who want a refund come Spring, we are working it out so that refunds are easier than ever. For now, preschool - 2nd grade must register for the whole year if they would like to play in the Fall.
Format: These age groups have weekly, clinic style practices in the Fall and Spring (starting in 1st grade, teams start to scrimmage Briarcliff a couple times a season)
Sessions: We have found that 8 sessions is the perfect amount per season for this age group…any longer everyone starts dragging.

What do I need?
- Shinguards
- Cleats/gym shoes
- Water bottle
- Starting in first grade-you need to have a jersey. You can either purchase a new one at Mount Kisco Sports or see if there is one that can be passed down to you from a friend/neighbor/sports swap
Why should I volunteer?
Because you have to be there anyway! This isn't a drop off event...but seriously, this is a really easy and low commitment way to be involved and help our community. We have trainers from Eastern FC who provide structure and professional guidance, but for the most part, when they're in second grade and younger-it's all about crowd control and encouragement.
Can I drop off my child?
No, we require guardians to stay at the field the entire time until they are in third grade.
Can I go on the field?
Not unless you have officially signed up to volunteer on our website and completed a background check. If you notice your child struggling, we ask that you signal them off the field and talk to them there. We cannot have any adults or children coaching their child on the field, unless they are registered and have completed their training.
