Indoor Leagues - Youth (ages 6-19)

All Youth leagues will be comprised of single birth years (except U-16 & U-19). If an insufficient number of teams sign up in one age group, we will go to double birth years. Please see page below for information on game days and age groups. 

Indoor Leagues – Adults

• Men’s Open - One division, age 19 and up
• Men over 35 (age 35 or over at start of session, 2 underage players over 30 are allowed per team)
• Women’s Open - One division, ages 19 and up
• Coed Open - ages 19 and up

Need a Team?

We welcome individuals to sign up for a STOP house team. Players from other teams can sign-up for additional teams to have more fun and meet new friends. Each house team will be coached by a Soccer Stop staff coach & receive a Soccer Stop shirt. 

League Play Information

Each session will consist of 8 games. The Soccer Stop tries our best to put teams in the appropriate division. We reserve the right to move teams into divisions that we feel are best appropriate.

Champions T-Shirts

We are excited to bring back the old tradition of handing out session champion t-shirts to division winners. If your team has won a league championship you will be contacted by SSS staff to get shirt sizes for the number of players listed on your roster. If your team does not turn in  roster, they will be ineligible from receiving t-shirts. Also, only players playing in 4 or more games should receive t-shirts. If subs are listed on the roster, it is up to the coach/coordinator to honestly assess which of their players have played the required number of games. As of now, teams will only receive a t-shirt the first time they win a session during the 3 sessions of indoor soccer. We may offer something different for teams winning 2 or 3 sessions.

• High school divisions are restricted to high school players only. The only exception would be a U19 age player that is registered with their GVSA team of mostly high school players and playing with that GVSA team.

Generalized League Schedule

(subject to change, this only a tentative guide)

We've listed several days for each league to not box ourself in, if your team is not available on one of the days listed, please make note of that when you register, weekday slots will be determined for each league based on what works best for all teams. Youth typically plays mostly Saturdays with 1 consistent weekday, adults are mostly Sundays with one consistent weekday.

Please note the cutoff date change on the age group divisions.  this change puts our leagues in line iwth the change made by the USSF at the start of team formation fo the 2017/18 competitive seasoins.  Essentiall, age groups are composed of single birth years.  You must register your team based on the oldest player.

Game Change Procedure
