Jim Lindsay's List of
East Bay & SF Bay Area Adult Soccer Leagues

This page is intended for people who want to play soccer in an adult soccer league, or to ref soccer in adult and/or high school leagues. These leagues are all in the SF Bay Area. If you have a list of adult leagues for other regions, send me a link, please.

The best way to get on a team is to contact the league. Ask them what teams need players, then contact those teams. Make sure they really do need players, and if so, ask if you can practice with them sometime, so they can see you play. For less serious teams, they might just put you on the team sight unseen, but usually they want to meet you first.

If you are a certified ref, then visit the web site or call the league to find out how to get contact the referee coordinator. Adult games are much tougher than youth games,so only do this if you are quite confident you are ready.

Please send me any information you have about other leagues, or corrections to the information below. My emailaddress is jim@jerel.com, or you can click the link on the bottom left of the screen. tr>
