Recreational Fall League Program - 2024

Our Recreational Fall League Program is for U7 and older players who wish to participate in soccer in a recreational setting. All skill levels are welcome. 

All families are required to put down a $150 volunteer deposit (earned back by volunteering 6 hours for the club). The volunteer deposit is paid once for each family and is in addition to the program fee. Uniforms are included in the program fee at no additional charge.

*Note that the program will close when registration is full which could be before the final date listed. Placement is not guaranteed.

TEAM FORMATION

DUSL works to form equally skilled and balanced teams in age groups based off of our registration numbers. We keep players in their age group but may combine in some age groups if there are not enough players to form an age pure team. For instance, blending U7 with U8, U9 with U10, etc.

The Director of Recreation will form teams based on the following criteria in priority order:

  1. Selection of players that attend the same school

  2. Selection of players based on home location (to assist in carpools)

  3. Selection of players based on potential practice locations

  4. Random selection

  5. Late registration players will be randomly assigned to teams based on need of team


TEAM FORMATION REQUESTS

Due to the size of the Recreational leagues, DUSL is unable to accommodate ANY coach, friend, team, practice schedule, carpool, or after school care requests.

TEAM AGES

Recreational teams play in a DUSL Recreational league consisting of teams from Dublin. Older age groups sometimes play against neighboring clubs. In the Recreational League, games will have referees.

These players will be placed on teams by early July and team practices and training will begin in mid-July to early august. There will be parent head coach(s) for each team.
