Late Registration makes it more difficult for CQCSC volunteers to determine numbers of teams, coaches, jerseys and balls required for the season. Knowing player numbers early provides additional time to make decisions based on these numbers. Registration fees will include a regular fee and a late fee penalty. Registration forms will be listed (hard copies and on the website), with the regular fees and the late fee which will be $25 higher than the regular fees. The dates applicable to the regular fees and late fees will be determined by the CQCSC executive at the start of the soccer year. Late Registrations will be subject to space availability within each division. Space availability is on a First come, First Serve Basis. There will be no pro-rated fees for players only playing part of a season, except when a player sustains a season-ending injury part-way through the season, as explained in section 1.2.
