These extra skills sessions are offered as part of the Competitive Program, to all registered Comp Players. Coach Amy Bains will be leading as a qualified gym instructor & personal trainer.

Thank you to the 16 competitive team managers that attended our first live training meeting. DUSL hosted a 2 hour meeting with team managers to cover the numerous changes for 2021. We had most of our competitive team managers attend and share terrific practices. 

This was in addition to the NorCal TeamSport zoom call that was held the previous week.

To our Rockstar Fireworks Volunteers

Kerry and I just wanted to send a personal email to thank the volunteers that really stood out to us this year.  We are profoundly grateful for your enthusiasm and hard work this season.  Kerry and I both have a deep respect for not only DUSL but the people in the community.  What truly makes a club great is its families and you all are the perfect representation of that excellence. After the last year of uncertainty, it is heartwarming to see our families live and in-person enjoying being together, smiling, and sharing our life stories.

We thank you above and be all for taking the time to support DUSL – See you on the pitch!

Jennifer Miller & Kerry Minor

Thank you to all parents, members, and players for the record turnout for the 2021 competitive player placements.

DUSL will place all players onto teams for the 2021/2022 season which begins July 4th. 

DUSL will begin to play games this month in accordance with State, County, and City guidelines. The requirements for "Return to Play" involve actions from local soccer clubs, teams, coaches, players, and spectators. These guidelines vary, depending on the requirements of each individual city. Below are the guidelines for spectators that wish to attend matches in the city of Dublin.

• All spectators are required to wear face masks
• All spectators are required to maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet while watching games
• Spectator groups should only be comprised of immediate household members. Do not combine your seating area with members of other households
• DUSL will require that Dublin spectators sit on the same side of the field as their coach and team. This means the opposing team and their parents will sit on the opposite side of the field from the Dublin team and spectators. SEE SEATING CHART ABOVE
• At Fallon Sports Park Dublin teams and Dublin spectators will sit on the inside portion of the fields. Opposing teams will sit in the area closest to the sidewalks.

While we understand these guidelines are not convenient, they are required for us to have a safe transition to playing games. We hope that these restrictions will ease over the next couple months.
