Welcome to Sunday 7s! Davis AYSO's first adult league
For the first time, Davis AYSO is proud to introduce an adult soccer program! AYSO adult soccer is for anyone 18+ who wants to play soccer with neighbors and friends in a casual environment. All games will be on Sunday evenings and consist of 7v7 play (with keepers) in full alignment with the AYSO philosophies.
Registration dates: August 1 - August 15, 2023. Complete registration here.
Season dates:
Fall 2023 will be an 8-game season with games starting on September 10 and ending on October 28.
Games will take place Sunday evenings with kick-offs between 3-6pm at fields around Davis.
Teams may organize any optional practices if they'd like but we anticipate most will just get together on Sunday evenings.
Cost:
$80 - fee includes field equipment (goals, lines, flags, etc), field rental fees for 8-weeks, and a year-long membership to United States Adult Soccer Organization for player accident insurance.
NOTE: $30 of your cost takes care of fees to both U.S. Soccer and United States Adult Soccer Organization (U.S.A.S.A.) and also your player accident insurance (PAI), which will cover you in case of injury, for up to $25,000. The membership year runs from September 1st through August 31st so will not need to be paid again if you play in the Winter pick-up or Spring seasons
Players will need to provide a colored shirt (your captain will let you know what color) and wear appropriate athletic shoes (soccer cleats recommended) and gear. Shinguards are recommended.
Team Formation:
Teams of 11-12 will be formed in Fall 2023. Teams will be formed based on self-ratings and we will form region based teams where possible (ex East Davis team(s), West Davis team(s)). Friend requests will be taken into consideration when forming teams but are not guaranteed.
A question during registration will ask if you are interested in competitive or casual soccer- choose casual if you'd like to kick the ball around with others, choose competitive if you'd like to kick the ball around with more of a purpose. A question during registration will ask you to self-evaluate your skills and experience.
In Fall 2023, we will form separate gendered divisions (Women and Men) and create casual and competitive divisions if numbers allow. Those interested in 11v11 soccer on a more consistent team could consider registering as a free-agent with DARSL.
As the program builds we will get your feedback on the team formation process and have an ultimate vision of creating multiple teams within 6 distinct regions of Davis that compete for the Davis Soccer Cup (in their respective divisions) with home fields for each team in each region.
What happens after the season?
As conditions allow we'll send emails for pick-up meet ups throughout the winter. We anticipate reopening registration in February for a Spring season that will take place in April and May.
How the philosophies apply:
Open registration: AYSO does not restrict membership on the basis of talent, race, religion, nationality or creed. Everyone who registers by the deadline will be placed on a team
Everyone plays: equal playing time is a must.
Positive coaching: use positive, instructional, and encouraging words when speaking with one another (soccer should be fun for everyone!).
Balanced teams: teams will be reformed each Fall, teammates may stay together in Spring season if they wish and free-agents will be added.
Good sportsmanship: everyone should work to create a safe and wholesome environment based on mutual respect and not on a win-at-all costs attitude.
Player development: the goal every game is to get home without getting hurt or hurting someone else
Refunds: 100% refund before August 26, 0% after August 26. Use this form to request a refund or let us know if you are no longer interested in playing.
