At long last, it's time to talk about summer league! With Memorial Day we  ekend being the unofficial start to summer, I figured now was a good time to get the word out about CCSL summer league and suggest to those interested that you begin organizing your summer league team. As was the case last year, our summer session is a chance for us to keep our skills up on the pitch during the dog days of summer but in a slightly more relaxed and informal environment.
Season dates are from Sunday, July 6th through Sunday, August 16th. Each team will play one another one time for a total of seven games and then schedule depending I plan to do a two-day playoff- Saturday Aug. 17 & Sunday Aug. 16 (with the top four teams making playoffs). At the moment, I am still working on all the details but each team is guaranteed seven regular season games for now as I am still working on fields for the playoffs. As usual, games will be played on Sundays, with each team playing one additional weekday game on the Mall. Any necessary makeups will also be played during the week as we do not have enough Sundays to make things work otherwise . Sunday games will be held at the GW Mount Vernon Field (artificial turf field) with some games scheduled possibly in the Alexandria, Arlington or Washington DC area depending on availability.
There will again be two brackets of eight teams each- a competitive division (A) and recreation division (B). Registration will be on a first come, first serve basis with CCSL teams having first priority through June 4th. Teams that are interested in participating should email
and indicate which division they would like to play in along with their team colors. Teams that are affiliated with the Metropolitan DC-Virginia Soccer Association (MDCVSA) will be given next priority. Merging of teams is permitted and encouraged. Please email me if you are looking to merge with other teams and we can see who we can match folks up with.
Registration packets and checks will be due on Friday, June 20th. Information on where to send and what format the packets should be in will be sent once your email of interest is received. Registration forms are available on the CCSL website under Forms. Cost per team is $1400. Once the brackets are full, we will post a note to the website.
Games will be 80 minutes in length with 5 women and 6 men to a side. There will be a two man referee crew per game and rules will be consistent with those currently used during the regular CCSL season. A list of summer league rules is also available on the CCSL website.
If you have any questions, please contact Cara Rooney at
. And should you wish to volunteer to help me organize this summer's season, please don't hesitate to contact me at either my email address or the CCSL Summer address as I will be running this show solo for the summer as Dan is busy helping inner city kids play soccer these days ;-).
Thanks!
