Welcome to the Spring Open League! 

The Spring Open League is a developmental program designed to provide those players that played in the Fall as well as new players who are learning the game for the first time an opportunity to develop their soccer skills in a fun and structured environment.
All Practices will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Grand Avenue Park with games on Saturdays. Practices are set to begin on Tuesday January 24th and games are scheduled to begin on February 18th.

Player Eligibility:

The league is open to new and returning players who meet the current membership age requirements for the 6U, 8U, 10U, 12U, and 14U divisions.

Team Formation:

Players will be placed in the 5/6U, 8U, 10U, 12U, and 15U divisions based on the current membership year.  For returning players, this means that they will play in the same division they played in the Fall.  For new players, they will play in the division that they would have been assigned for the Fall.

Players who played in the 5U division in the Fall will play in the 6U division.
