EnglishWhat Else Does the SMSC Website Offer Beyond Registration?
Updated
South Mississippi Soccer Club's site is not only a registration portal. Alongside rec, Tots, and competitive program sign-ups, it lists four other opportunities: Duck Derby online ticket sales, the SMSC Club Store on soccer.com, the Landon Perry Memorial Scholarship, and a rec soccer sponsorship form. Each serves a different purpose — fundraising, gear, recognition, and club support — and each has its own conditions worth checking before you act.
Duck Derby: Fundraising Tickets With a Prize Drawing
The Duck Derby is a club fundraiser run alongside a day at the waterpark at Centennial Plaza on September 27th. Tickets are sold online through the club site, and buyers get a chance to win $1000.
One practical catch: the site's registration notice for the "2026 Duck Derby" states that the registration is not currently available. If you visit and see that message, the ticket window is closed at that moment — check back rather than assuming the event is canceled, since the page still promotes the September 27 date and prize.
- What it supports: SMSC programs
- What you get: entry into the $1000 drawing and the waterpark day
- Where to buy: the online ticket link on the SMSC site
- Watch for: the "not currently available" status on the registration page
SMSC Club Store on soccer.com
The club store is hosted online at www.soccer.com rather than on the SMSC site itself. That means ordering, sizing, shipping, and returns are handled through soccer.com's systems, not the club's. If you need club-branded gear, start at soccer.com and look for the SMSC store; the club page is the pointer, not the checkout.
Landon Perry Memorial Scholarship
The club created this scholarship to honor Landon Perry, who was killed in an accident on November 16th at age 18. He was a member of the MGCCC Bulldogs men's soccer team and a D'Iberville High graduate, and his family are valued members of the SMSC community.
Who it is for: an eligible senior who intends to play college soccer and has shown commitment to leadership, community, the game, and academic excellence.
The site describes the criteria but does not publish an application deadline or submission process in the available text. If you are a candidate, the practical next step is to contact the club directly — the site lists [email protected] as the contact for competitive program matters, and it is the published club email address.
Rec Soccer Sponsorship
A 2026 SMSC Rec Soccer Sponsorship Form is posted on the site for businesses or families who want to back the recreational program. This is separate from registration — it is a support pathway, not a player sign-up. Download the form from the site and follow its instructions to sponsor.

How to Decide Where to Start
- Want to support the club and maybe win $1000? Go to the Duck Derby ticket link — but confirm the registration is open before planning around it.
- Need gear? Skip the club site and go straight to soccer.com.
- Are a graduating senior planning to play in college? Review the scholarship criteria and email the club for the application steps, since the site does not spell them out.
- Want to sponsor rec soccer? Download the sponsorship form from the site.
For anything not covered on the page — scholarship deadlines, sponsorship tiers, or Duck Derby ticket status — the club's published email, [email protected], is the reliable route to a definitive answer.
