The season schedule will be posted to both “Mysoccerleague” and “Leagueapps” online schedules.
Possible game times are as follows: 1pm, 3pm, 5pm and 7pm. The game schedule is subject to change.
All matches are 90-minutes long with two 45-minute halves.
For the 1pm games, players should avoid stepping onto any part of the field prior to the start of the game in order to avoid encroaching on other groups’ permitted field time.

FIELD RULES
Tom Bates Goals
All goals on the fields must remain in their designated locations at all times. They are all numbered according to location. Removing, moving, or repositioning the goals is strictly prohibited. This helps maintain field safety, prevent damage to equipment, and ensure proper field setup for scheduled games and practices.
Help Keep Fields in Top Condition
Avoid Creating Divots
Be mindful when using cleats - avoid twisting or digging into the turf, which can create divots and damage the field.
If you notice any divots, please help by gently pressing them back into place.
Respect the Field
Use designated entry and exit points.
Avoid practicing or warming up in high-traffic areas to prevent excessive wear.
Clean Up After Yourself
Dispose of trash and equipment properly.
Leave the field as you found it, or better
Failure to abide by the above field rules may result in our field permit being revoked.
MATCH RULES
Please review important Rule Updates in effect as of 2025, with special attention to 10-minute Yellow Card Sin Bins, 8-Second Rule for Goalkeepers, and 48 hrs. advanced notice required to retain $200 forfeit deposit.
