Soccer Club

2025-2026 Chairs: Xiaoyu Li

The Medina soccer club is designed to give students an opportunity to develop athletic skills, confidence, and teamwork in a fun and safe environment. By combining soccer fundamentals with speed and agility training, students will improve both their physical fitness and their enjoyment of the game.

Seeking Volunteers:

We are looking for two volunteers to help out with check-in and check-out during each session
Each volunteer receives one priority registration and 50% off (once duty is met)
In addition to the chair, at least one volunteer is needed to attend each session. Therefore, to be a volunteer, you need to be able to attend at least 75% of the sessions or more

If interested (yes, we need you), please contact soccerclub@medinapta.org

Policies

FEES: For a student to participate in any after-school club, there cannot be an outstanding balance on the family's PTA's account. Tuition and all outstanding fees must be paid in full by October 1st, 2025 (the first session). If you do not pay all fees by this deadline, your child will be withdrawn from the soccer program and a 5% tuition processing fee will be added to your account.

To remain enrolled in the soccer club, families must timely pay any Medina PTA fees (not just club fees) incurred during the course of the school year. You understand that failure to pay fees on time may result in your student being withdrawn from the club with no refund.

ELIGIBILITY: Our afterschool clubs are ONLY for CURRENT-ENROLLED Medina students with ACTIVE Medina PTA membership. Your child must be enrolled with Medina Elementary school at the time they are attending the club and you must have a valid Medina PTA family or individual membership for the 2025-2026 school year. You agree that if your kid is not currently enrolled with Medina Elementary school OR you do not purchase PTA membership by the first class, your child will be withdrawn from all afterschool clubs with no refund.

PROCESSING FEE: Any student registration for an afterschool club that you cancel will incur a 5% processing fee. This includes cancelling a duplicate registration (e.g., when the parents sign up the same child twice for the same club). The 5% fee applies for all transaction types (credit card, cash, or check).

BEHAVIOR: Intentional violent behavior directed at another individual during the club (including another student, teacher, coach/instructor, parent, or volunteer) and resulting in physical harm is grounds for immediate removal from that club without refund. Medina PTA retains the discretion to remove this student from all other enrolled afterschool clubs/programs and prevent this student from registering for future afterschool programs in the same school year.

Parents and students are expected to behave respectfully to each other and the coaches/instructors:

If the club chair determines that a student’s behavior is disruptive during the program/club, or the student is consistently disrespectful, a warning will be issued to the student and parent. After the warning, a second offense will result in removal of the student from the club with no refund, unless the club chair decides to issue a second warning. The chair may also require the parent to provide full-time adult supervision of the student for the duration of the club. The adult supervisor must be a PTA member and have a BSD background check. A third offense will result in removal of the student from the club program with no refund.
If the club chair determines that a parent’s behavior is disruptive or consistently disrespectful, a warning will be issued to the parent. After the warning, a second offense will result in removal of that parent’s child from afterschool clubs with no refund.
At the discretion of Medina PTA, any withdrawal due to disruptive or disrespectful behavior may also affect the family’s ability to register for future afterschool programs.

PICK-UP: Club chair is required to stay until the last child is picked up from class. Please respect the club chair’s time by picking your child up promptly at 2:00pm on Wednesday. If you wish to permit your child to sign him/herself out from class and walk/bike home, you must complete the Medina PTA Permission Slip for Self-Checkout of Afterschool Clubs found on our website, and return it to the soccer program chair (soccerclub@medinapta.org). If you come later than 2:15 pm for the pickup more than twice, your students will be withdrawn from the soccer program with no refunds.

ABSENCES: If your child will not be at the soccer club, you must email soccerclub@medinapta.org prior to that day’s session start time. You understand that two unexcused absences may result in removal of your student from the club without refund.

ATTENDANCE POLICY: If students are absent from school due to illness or miss 80% of the school day, they may not attend after-school activities.

REFUND: 50% refund if the student withdraws before finishing the third class. There is no refund after the third class for any reason.
