We continue to offer Competitive divisions for each league except Legends.
Every Competitive Division will gain:
Consistent Night of Play
Even for turf!
Competitive players can permit across to other Competitive leagues!
Previously, with our structure to only permit up, the top division players couldn’t permit - but now they can!
Competitive players can also join a Recreational team - if they don’t make up more than 20% of the Recreational team’s roster.
This is even more teams to join!
We have focused on the recreational aspect of our league for years. We maintain our recreational leagues and encourage competitive play as well. This addition is an effort to give a home to the players that want and do take soccer more seriously - and play competitively.
Really, though, it’s just a name change with a couple added bonuses. Our Division 1 teams (now Competitive 1 teams) have always been the top division.
Of course, we still offer our recreational leagues!
The specific rule pertaining to the Competitive & Recreational divisions are:
