Welcome to Sunday 7s! Davis AYSO's first adult league
AYSO adult soccer is for anyone 18+ who wants to play soccer with neighbors and friends in a casual environment. All games will be on Sunday evenings and consist of 7v7 play (with keepers) in full alignment with the AYSO philosophies. Here is a 3-minute league intro video.
Season dates:
Games will take place Sunday evenings with kick-offs between 3-6pm at fields around Davis. There will be a Fall season that runs August - October and a Spring season that runs April - May.
Teams may organize any optional practices if they'd like but we anticipate most will just get together on Sunday evenings.
Cost:
Season costs are set prior to registration and are typically around $10 per game paid upfront.
Each Fall, an additional $30 will be added to your registration fees to both U.S. Soccer and United States Adult Soccer Organization (U.S.A.S.A.) and also your player accident insurance (PAI), which will cover you in case of injury, for up to $25,000. The membership year runs from September 1st through August 31st so does not need to be paid if you play in both Fall and Spring soccer.
Players will need to provide a colored shirt (your captain will let you know what color) and wear appropriate athletic shoes (soccer cleats recommended) and gear. Shinguards are recommended.
Team Formation:
Teams of 11-12 are formed by Division Admins each year. Teams will be formed based on self-ratings and we will form region based teams where possible (ex East Davis team(s), West Davis team(s)). A single friend requests will be taken into consideration when forming teams but are not guaranteed; both friends must request each other in the registration questions. This league enables you to meet new friends each season and then play against other friends if you are not assigned to the same team.
A question during registration will ask if you are interested in competitive or casual soccer- choose casual if you'd like to kick the ball around with others, choose competitive if you'd like to kick the ball around with more of a purpose. A question during registration will ask you to self-evaluate your skills and experience.
We will form separate gendered divisions (Women and Open (mostly men)) and create casual and competitive divisions if numbers allow. Those interested in 11v11 soccer on a more consistent team could consider registering as a free-agent with DARSL.
How the philosophies apply:
Open registration: AYSO does not restrict membership on the basis of talent, race, religion, nationality or creed. Everyone who registers by the deadline will be placed on a team
Everyone plays: equal playing time is a must.
Positive coaching: use positive, instructional, and encouraging words when speaking with one another (soccer should be fun for everyone!).
Balanced teams: teams will be reformed each Fall, teammates may stay together in Spring season if they wish and free-agents will be added.
Good sportsmanship: everyone should work to create a safe and wholesome environment based on mutual respect and not on a win-at-all costs attitude.
Player development: the goal every game is to get home without getting hurt or hurting someone else
Refunds: Use this form to request a refund or let us know if you are no longer interested in playing.
