League Rules
In an effort to provide a SAFE and FUN soccer experience we ask that each player take the time to read, understand, and fully comply with the following policies for play in our leagues. A team captain or leader must sign a document confirming they have read and understand this information prior to the start of the first game.
Our leagues are played on a (9 v 9) artificial outdoor turf and are intended to offer a medium to high (have played soccer before) level of play in the form of friendly competition. Player skill and athletic abilities may vary. While the sport of soccer is competitive in nature, we do not provide gold medals and therefore ask that maturity be applied to achieve a safe and fun experience for all.
Team and Player Registration
** NEW – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY **
NON-NEGOTIABLE FEE DEADLINES BELOW.
EVERY PLAYER MUST HAVE AN ACTIVE SOCCER CITY MEMBERSHIP.
A $100 deposit is due 2 weeks (14 days) prior to the first scheduled game of each season. Your team will not be added to the schedule if a deposit is not paid on time and the team will not be able to play in that season.
100% of the remaining balance will be due prior to the start of your first scheduled game. If the fee has not been paid at the start of the game, the game will result in immediate forfeit and your team will be removed from the remainder of the season schedule and unable to participate in that season.
Individual Players are players who are not assigned to a Team initially. Individual players must pay the Individual Player pass per season at $60, this includes a 3-month membership for Soccer City.
Teams are responsible for paying referee fees directly to referees at half time on game day. Failure to present the full referee payment at half time results in a team forfeit for that match. Referee fees are determined by division.
Optional; team captains may save a credit card on their Soccer City profile to be default charged for league fees. This would prevent forfeit. The card would only be charged if there is a balance unpaid by the start of the first scheduled game.

- Four teams will advance to semifinals based on points. Point tiebreakers will be determined by season shutouts, followed by goals scored.
- Semi-final and final game tiebreakers will go to immediate penalty kicks.
- The penalty-kick shootout to decide a match consists of a minimum of 5 penalty kicks to be taken by each of the two teams from the penalty spot identified by the referee. The referee decides by the flip of a coin which team begins. The two teams alternate until 5 different players from each team have made their kick. If the score is a draw at the completion of the 5th kick, both teams take a kick until a winner is found.
