Registration for LIGA NorCal’s Adult League summer season is now open, the organization announced Monday, with all applications due by May 12.

Interested teams can apply to join one of the fastest-growing and best adult leagues in the country with both men’s and women’s divisions offered.

Each team will play 6-8 summer league games against top quality regional opposition starting June 3.  The fee is $750 and this includes all referee costs.

The division winners will compete in the semifinals and finals statewide on the weekend of July 29 and 30.

“The aim of  LIGA NorCal  is to provide high level playing competition during the months of June and July,” said LIGA NorCal Director of Adult Soccer Cris Gilmore. “Many of the competing teams are formed by former NorCal youth players now competing at the collegiate level.

“We feel it is so important to provide a competitive environment for the young adults in our community to continue to grow and develop in the game they love,” Gilmore added. “More importantly we feel it is necessary to provide this shortened season so players are best prepared to return to their college teams and handle the demands of the collegiate game.”

Each team will be required to send a representative to a May 21 meeting in Walnut Creek/Pleasanton to review playing rules, scheduling guidelines, and more.

All NorCal clubs are invited to apply to what is sure to be another year of high-quality competition.
