Fall: early September thru late October
Spring: early April - early June
Annual Tournament (U7-U12 only): June
*U13/U14 age divisions will be led by a professional Paid Staff Coach, not a volunteer coach/parent. This division will play teams outside of USL (other leagues in the area).
*If you signed up for 23-24 Full Year Bundle, you DO NOT need to register again for Spring. Your child will automatically remain on the same team for Fall 2023 & Spring 2024 seasons. *
All teams are coached by volunteer parents. Our coaches are encouraged to practice weekly with their teams, however, player participation and personal schedule can greatly impact this. Because of this, team practice times and locations are up to the discretion of each HEAD COACH and vary from team to team. The permits that we hold for practice locations can be found on the Facilities & Fields page. Coaches are encouraged to use these locations for practices.
Being a Recreational League, participation is key. For all players to learn and enjoy the game, each player must play at least 50 % of the game. Teams are rearranged every year in order to ensure that every team has a mix of new players and more experienced players. This ensures that as many games as possible are competitive and no "all-star" teams will dominate an age group. There is NO tryout, and everyone who registers will be placed on a team.
Number of Games
The number of matches played varies for each age group. Please see below for details of your child's age group:
USL uses Certified US Soccer Federation referees for our games so you can be sure the integrity of the game is upheld and that the proper rules are being correctly enforced. All referees are paid professionals and are NOT volunteers.
Check out the Age Matrix to determine what age group your child and their friends will be playing in this coming season.
The seasonal soccer year runs from January 1st through December 31st.
Recreational Youth players with August and September birth dates may request to play up with their school grade.
Requests should be noted on the online registration form.
Note: The format “U" followed by age, really means that age and younger. For example, U8 should be read as 8 and younger.
