McKinney Adult Recreational Soccer League
Rules subject to change without notice. The adult soccer league was formed to be social in design, allow local residents to play with spouses and neighbors, and to improve the appreciation of the rules and for children playing the sport. Not only is it a good sport to play to keep fit, we hope the adult soccer league can be a development program to stimulate interest in more competitive divisions already in existence. We have a Fall Season that start in September. We also have a Spring Season that will start in early March. Regististration for the Fall season begin June 1 and the Spring season registration start December 1.
