Just in time for the 2020/2021 season, on Friday afternoon California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that youth sports would be permitted to begin playing games....
While the guidelines for the "Return to Play" have been released, we do expect these guidelines to be fluid and will change weekly. Due to the accessibility to vaccinations improving each week, the state health department has determined that "Return to Play" should be allowed.
NorCal has developed "Return to Play Events" that will allow teams to play matches starting April 1.
DUSL has been preparing for this event, and we are working with NorCal, Dublin Referees Association, and the City of Dublin to ensure a smooth transition back to playing games.
Your coaches will be given all the necessary information for the "Return to Play" on upcoming Zoom Calls. Club Members can direct any inquiries directly to their coaches. In addition DUSL will host a TownHall Meeting on Saturday March 27 to cascade as much information as possible.
DUSL intends to enroll all competitive teams in the NorCal "Return to Play" events, as well as establish games for all recreational teams to play. We hope to have more details by Mid March.
Below is an excerpt from the official release from the state Governor and the "California Department of Public Health".

DUSL will soon be ending the Winter break and we are looking forward to seeing all players back on the field. Starting week #1 in February, DUSL will have all fields available for returning players and our coaches are ready to resume sessions.
In preparation for the restart all players should be resuming personal training and conditioning. On the training tab of our DUSL website are hundreds of videos, outlining self training and conditioning drills that players can utilize now before we restart our season.
In the coming weeks, coaches will be reaching out to players and teams with details, so be on the look out for these communications from your coaches.
DUSL will be bringing the United Kingdom coaches back for the 2021 season. DUSL has come to an agreement with UKI to return coaches Amy, Rhys, and Matt for the 2021 season. these fantastic coaches will spearhead key camps, and events as well as coach their assigned competitive teams.
Welcome back coaches!
DUSL would like to thank Al Albarran and Brandon Flickner for their tireless work and efforts during their time as DUSL board members. Both members have stepped away from the board of directors but will continue to serve the club in other capacities as we enter the 2021 season.
Thank you Al and Brandon
All Players that want to be considered for 2020/2021 Competitive or Select Teams must Register for Player Placements
There is a $50 player placement deposit that will be applied to your Competitive or Select Team Registration fee when you are assigned to a team and asked to register for the program.
https://www.gotsport.com/asp/application/reg/?ProgramID=88419
Registration is now open for the 2020 Recreation League and Jr Shamrock. Register your player today by following the steps listed below. This is for the NON-COMPETITIVE recreational level players.
Recreation and Jr Shamrock Registration Process
We are working to improve the volunteer deposit process this year and we have adjusted our registration process. There will be a few steps to the registration process this year.
Step 1– Register for Dublin United Soccer League and pay the Volunteer deposit. A $150 volunteer deposit is required per DUSL family. The new process will allow you to register using your family account and the system will only charge you one deposit per family. It will allow you to opt out for the volunteer deposit for additional children for any program. During the initial registration, you will be required to upload a picture of your player. This will be used for any required player credentials and allows us to keep updated pictures for all players every year.
https://www.gotsport.com/asp/application/reg/?ProgramID=87979
After your initial Dublin United Soccer League Registration, you will receive an email with additional instructions;
DUSL requires that you upload you player birth certificate or passport to GotSocccer. This will assist us with verifying player ages for team placement and any required player credentials. This is the most secure way for us to collect the required proof of birth.
Step 2- Then you will need to register for your desired program. The email will contain links to the Recreation Program or the Jr Shamrock program depending on the age of your player. You will not be able to register for these programs until the initial registration is completed for each player.
