Two options to register a team:

Deposit Only or Payment in Full

Deposit Only: This covers your (team manager) individual payment, as well as an $80 refundable forfeiture bond. Teams must have a minimum of 12 rostered (paid) players in order to play. No less than 50% of these payments must be paid by 11:59pm the day prior to the first game. For additional info on the forfeiture bond and team requirements visit our FAQ.

Payment in Full: The base payment-in-full covers up to 14 rostered players. If you are paying for more than 14 players upfront, please select the appropriate option from the drop down menu. Players can be added to the roster up until a team has played 50% of their scheduled games. Roster spots are not transferable. All players must have a valid player card.

Competitive divisions are separated out as Division 1, Division 2, and Division 3; with Division 1 being the most competitive.  Team placement into specific divisions will be based both on previous league history, as well what is indicated at registration.  At registration, you will be asked to select your preferred division.  This is solely used by league administration to help determine league divisions and is not a guarantee of placement within a specific division; nor is it a guarantee that there will be multiple divisions.

Primarily FIFA laws apply.  However, sliding & slide tackling is specifically banned.  In addition, offsides will not be called.  It is worth noting that playing in an offsides position is not typically a good strategic move for your team due to the overall size of the fields.

In the event your team has to forfeit a game, an $80 Forfeiture Bond fee must be paid prior to the start of your team’s next scheduled game. Failure to pay this fee will result in an additional forfeit, as well as an additional $80 Forfeiture Bond fee.  Forfeits and additional fees will continue to accrue until all Forfeiture Bond fees are paid.

While you can play with as few as 5 players on the field, we recommend rostering at least 11 players to ensure you have enough people on game day.  You may officially roster up to 18 players.  During the regular season, you may utilize up to 2 non-rostered guest players, assuming the guest players have a valid league player card, and you have a minimum of 6 regularly rostered players present.  Non-rostered players are not allowed to play with any team during playoffs.

League games will be played on Sunday evenings starting hourly at 6pm or later.*  We try to avoid 10pm kickoff times, due to Sunday primarily being a work night for many players. Depending on weather cancellations, we reserve the right to reschedule games on another day of the week.  However, to date, this has never been implemented.  All league games are scheduled to be played at the O’Fallon Family Sports Park turf fields.  Games may be played at alternative local field turf fields due to unforeseen circumstances

*Winter Season is the exception to this, with games starting hourly between 2pm and 5pm, and starting at 12pm on Super Bowl Sunday.

Individual registration is a great way for players that do not have an established team or do not know enough other players to establish a full team.  We maintain house teams full of individually registered players (or a small group of players).  At registration, if you have friends who are also registering at the same time, you can list their names to be placed on the same team with them.  Our house teams often evolve into their own independent teams in subsequent seasons as players meet other players.

Playoffs are typically fully bracketed with a few minor caveats.  In order to ensure parity of play on the field, teams on the upper half of a table are typically placed into their own playoff bracket; while teams on the lower half of the table are typically placed into a separate playoff bracket.  On a season specific basis, the number of teams in a division will determine whether top seeds will have a first round bye.  Playoff weeks will typically include a possible double header of either the Quarterfinals/Semifinals or Semifinals/Championship.  We strive to ensure a team’s second game of a doubleheader is against another team also playing their second game, so there is no distinct “fresh legs” advantage.
