Marlton Recreation Council Soccer News Page

You may have already signed up for Fall 2008 Soccer or you may not have or you many be signing up for another sport. Since Online registrations are now in-place and most of the MRC membership will utilize this system, email and other forms of communication are required to get the word out. If you hear someone that says they are not receiving our emails, it is probably because they have not updated their email address in the MRC Online Registration System. The email on file is the login username as well as how we are able to communicate with you, so please keep your email address updated in the system.

we will be updating the look of our website as well as the content so please check back frequently for new or additional information - www.marltonsoccer.org. if you have questions, always start with our online FAQ, most questions will be answered.
