MCSA Youth League Soccer
REGISTER PLAYER(S)
Since 1982 Montgomery County Soccer Association (MCSA) has offered a Youth League Soccer Program for players ages 5-18 during fall and spring seasons. This league is not competitive (official scores are not recorded) and is designed to offer every child the opportunity to play soccer.
Before you register your player for the program, please note the following:
- Boys and girls play in separate divisions.
- There are no tryouts and all players are guaranteed to play at least half of each game.
-
Teams are coached by unpaid volunteers.
- Each coach chooses the practice day, place, and time. You will receive this information after you are assigned to a team.
-
Age group coordinators try to accommodate practice location preferences, coach requests, and teammate requests when forming teams.
- We cannot guarantee your practice location, coach, or placement with a specific teammate.
- A season lasts 8-10 weeks, depending on the need for makeup games.
-
Registration fees do not cover shin guards and jerseys, which are required.
- MCSA's reversible jerseys ($20) typically last a player for multiple years.
