  • If I have a question regarding what team my child is on? Who do I contact?

  • When will my child's team practice and have games?

    Practice days/times are set by the coaches. Since all of our coaches are volunteers, the club gives them flexibility with their practice schedules. Generally coaches will practice Monday\Wednesday or Tuesday\Thursday, but some will have their own schedule based on their availability.


    Games days are Saturday for the Girls starting at 9:00am and Sunday for the Boys starting at 12pm.

  • I do not live in the Palatine Park District boundaries, can I still register?

    Yes! We welcome residents from our neighboring communities to play for Celtic SC.  We have a set fee for all.

  • My child wants to play both fall and spring seasons and I can't find where to register for spring.

    Currently we have separate registration times for fall and spring.  Normally, fall registration opens in early June and closes in late July and spring registration opens in mid January and closes in early March.

  • Who will be my child's coach?

    Celtic SC house league relies solely on volunteer coaches to coach our house teams. If you are interested in volunteering to coach a house team in the fall or spring season, please register. 

  • My child has never played soccer before, can they still join the league?

    Yes. The Celtic house league is a developmental, recreational league and is open to all levels of skill.  We will distribute new players amongst teams so that they can learn from their peers as they go.  

  • How are players placed on teams for the season?

    Our volunteer directors spend time assembling team rosters based on current player evaluations from previous coaches.  New players are asked to attend a player rating night in the summer to have their skill level assessed so they can be adequately placed on a team, while maintaining a balance of skill levels across the division. Teams are equally divided to balance high level players with new players to provide the best season experience for all players in the league. 



  • What type of uniform will my player wear?

    We are excited to provide each player with athletic, dry wick jerseys. Our house uniforms will now provide a more consistent look across the club.  Players will need to provide black shorts and equipment such as shin guards and soccer cleats.  The league will also provide black soccer socks for each player.
