About Our Recreational Coed Leagues

Wednesday evenings are a great night for playing in our recreational coed soccer leagues. Our Wednesday night coed divisions are designed primarily for older and less experienced players and for players who simply want to enjoy the game though adult players of all ages and skill levels are welcome to participate.

Players and teams in these 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.

The Erie Soccer League coed divisions utilize a promotion/relegation system so that the leagues remain in balance.  Our coed division 4 league is exempt from promotion/relegation.  However, teams that stick out like sore thumbs will be removed from the ecosystem in future seasons.

The divisional breakdowns & league format are as follows:

Format

6v6 (five field players – at keast two of which must be female players.  The goalkeeper is gender neutral.

Playing field dimensions is 50×35 yds.

Roster – Maximum of 15 players,

Free Agent Pool – Teams are permitted to call on players from the free agent pool created and maintained by the league. These players, when called upon, may play for your team when they are needed. A free agent may only appear for 1 team per division per game week. However, they are free to play for multiple teams throughout the playing season. A team must utilize free agents before attempting to cancel or reschedule a game.

Reschedule policyTeams must provide 72 hours’ notice if they need to reschedule a match. Failure to provide 72 hours’ notice will result in a $150 cash fine. The result will go into the books as 3-nil. Should the teams involved in the forfeit wish to make up the match, they can do so at their own cost (with league approval) – at such time, the 3-nil result will be replaced by the make-up result. Failure to pay the $150 fine by the next game week will result in additional forfeits in the record books.
