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.

WANT TO PLAY?

Please don't contact me re. finding you a team to play on -- that is your job! Here are four different ways you can find a team to play on:
  1. Look through the list of leagues, below, and find 1-3 leagues that matches your needs and wants. Then contact the leagues, using the contact info on their web-site. Ask them what teams need players, then contact those teams.
  2. Go to wherever they are playing games, and watch a game. When you see a team that looks like a good fit for you, talk to their manager to see if they need players.
  3. Ask around about pickup games. Join in a pickup game or two per week. Ask the people there if they know of any teams that might need players.
  4. You can always form a new team. Get your friends to join it, or ask the league for a list of players that want to be on a team. HOW TO CREATE A NEW TEAM.

WANT TO REF?

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 ref adult games if you are quite confident you are ready. If you are a good ref at younger ages, but nervous about doing adult games, you could specify that you only want to AR to start off.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

* There is a new summer 5-a-side summer league in Albany, and they are looking for teams. The league starts in July. [6/14/10]
