About Our Recreational Coed Leagues

Multiple coed playing divisions are offered so that teams and players with similar playing styles and reasons for playing can be grouped together. Crossover games (games between two separate divisions) may be scheduled if division make-up justifies doing so. Players and teams must not be “in bad standing” in order to be eligible for participation in league play.

These divisions are recreational and is ideally an entry level to organized soccer or for those who haven’t played in years or those teams who want to play without having to go “full speed”. The ideal player is inexperienced but has at least a basic understanding of the game or has some experience and wants to play for fun, rather than competition. Players who are more skilled in nature that have the mentality of using team play to help facilitate the play of others are also welcome in this division. Players and teams in this Division should have the mindset of playing for fun, playing at a low-competition level and with low aggression. Players with the “just win” mindset, or those who are going to challenge the referee’s every call will not be a good fit in these Divisions and will be strongly “encouraged” to move up to a higher division next season (along with their team). These division plays with 3 male & 2 female field players plus a goalkeeper. These divisions play on Wednesday evenings at the Erie Bank Sports Park Soccer Dome and will have one (1) Referee per game. Referee fees of $12 per game (cash) are to be paid to the referee prior to kickoff of each game.

For the winter season, the cost is $260 per team for field rental for the eight game season. An additional and separate $20 should be paid to our league’s certified referee assignor. The referee is due $12 per team per game (payable in cash) prior to kickoff of your team’s match. The field rental fees are due prior to kickoff on match week 2. There are no exceptions.
