To join a team or register individually, you are required to have a valid Metro East FA player card. $25 gets you set for 12 months; with 4 seasons annually, this can be less than 50 cents per game. Your player card keeps us affiliated with US Soccer through US Adult & Illinois State Soccer Associations. This helps us bring you the best league experiences in referees and fields as well as maintaining league insurance. Your player card also provides you with supplemental medical insurance should you get hurt playing.
