What divisions am I eligible for?

  • Individuals qualify for divisions based on age and gender. A player qualifies for any division that is equal to their birth year or earlier. Example: a youth born in 2008 may play in the 2008 division, 2007, 2006, or 2005. All birth years are eligible for Adult divisions.  Therefore, all individuals are eligible for Adult Coed and each division below that is more restrictive based on age and gender.

What are the rule differences in 3v3?

  • For those who have played organized soccer before (FIFA rules), the major differences are:
    • Only 3 players per team play at a time, with no goalkeepers
    • Substitutions on the fly
    • The goals are 3.5 foot by 6 foot (approx. – “pug” goals)
    • The fields are 30 yards by 20 yards, with a 6 foot by 6 foot penalty area where contact with the ball is restricted
    • No offsides rule
    • Out-of-bounds are restarted with a kick-in instead of throw-in
    • Goals must be scored from the offensive half of the field
  • The full rules and regulations can be found here.

What is the tournament format?

Can I play on more than one team?

What about adverse weather conditions?

  • This event is scheduled to be held regardless of weather conditions, until such conditions pose threats to player safety. Every attempt will be made to play all scheduled matches during June 3 & 4, but there will be no make-up matches outside of these dates. Refunds will not be offered for any unplayed matches because of weather.
