Soccer League House Rules
Our soccer leagues are set in a self-reffing format with all players expected to play within the "spirit of the game." All teams play 7 league games plus qualify for playoffs (seeding based on league results). All players must be rostered on the team to be eligible. If a team is short and uses a player from another team, the team will forfeit the game but still play the game. The team can play short if they so choose. Each team plays 2 x 25 minute halves once per week plus double headers as needed followed by a playoff round. In the playoff round there will be multiple games in one night.
Returning teams *$400, new teams *$425 (*$50 discount if paid by 2nd week).
All players are expected to play for FUN and with compassion and in a competitive spirit. If you are playing the games with a "win at all costs" attitude, then the Fields4Kids leagues are not for you. We all play the game because we enjoy it and each player should play with this in mind. We want all players to feel safe and understand that as a community and volunteer run facility, we must all do our part to keep the leagues going. The self-reffing format is in place to keep the games in the player's hands and to keep the league fees to a minimum. If referees need to be added, the cost of league play will significantly rise.
To register a team or to sign up as an individual (will be assigned a team), please contact MJ Ball at mjball@fields4kids.org or call/text 991-8940
