QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
When, Where, Who, How and What???
Everything you need to know about the SF Adult Coed Soccer Leagues...
Q. What is the Adult Co-Ed soccer program? A. It is Sioux Falls’ only premier Adult Amateur Soccer program!!! Any man or woman over the age of 18 can play. It gives adults an option to play organized co-ed soccer complete with referees and teams.
Q. When do the Adult Co-Ed Leagues play?
A. Adult League Soccer usually is played on Sundays and an occasional weekday. A Week Day game could happen in the event of a re-scheduled game, cancellation, odd number of teams in the Leagues or more teams than we can fit in on a Sunday.
Q. Who can play Adult Co-Ed League Soccer? A. If you are age of 18 and are not currently playing youth leagues, YES you can play!! We have ages that play from 18 to 60! Age is not a problem here. We have 3+ leagues available for ALL experiences! The Competitive Leagues are geared for those who like more competition and are experienced in playing soccer. The Intermediate Leagues are designed for those who prefer fun, recreational soccer playing. The Entry Leagues are designed for those who are new to the game of soccer or are still learning the ropes.
Q. How can I play if I am too out of shape or don't know the game?
A. This is why we have designed the multiple Leagues. Statistics show that adults learn the game faster by actually playing the game. Youngsters learn the fastest by practicing the game and then playing. The Entry Leagues are just right for those who are new to soccer or just want an hour of great cardiovascular workout. We play on smaller fields so that the running is not too constant and with more players playing you can substitute in and out of the game when you might need a break. The established players help teach those who are new to the game. It is amazing how fast you will learn!
Q. Where do the Adult Co-d Leagues play soccer?
A. The Adult Co-ed Leagues have soccer year round!! We have Outdoor seasons for spring, summer and fall, then we play 2 or 3 Indoor winter seasons. Adult Indoor season is played at the Sports Dome behind ShopKo. Session 1 is approximately played Nov. through Jan. Session 2 (3) are played approximately Jan. through May. The Outdoor games are played at Tomar Park off of Minnesota and I-229. The Adult Outdoor season is started in approximately Apr. or early May going through Oct. ( The start and end of outdoor season may vary depending on weather conditions)
Q. What if I don't think that I have the time or I am too busy?
A. The Adult Co-ed soccer program is designed to fit into most schedules. We play only approximately 1 hour for the indoor games and approximately 2 hours for outdoor games. We do not have any practices, just the games. Like stated before, we play mostly on Sunday or weekly evenings. This works well, as it doesn't usually interfere with religious commitments or school functions.
Q. How much does it cost to play? A. It is approximately $65 +/- a season for your soccer fee and a once a fiscal year $30 US Amateur player insurance fee for the state. The State fiscal year for amateur soccer is from September 1st to the following September 1st.
Q. What gear do I need to start?
A. For outdoor soccer, you will need: 1 pair of soccer shoes with cleats (no screw in cleats), 1 pair of shin guards, knee high soccer socks, a pair of comfortable shorts and a size 5 soccer ball.

Q. How could playing Adult soccer benefit me?
A. It provides you, the adult, with first hand knowledge about how the game is played. It is a wonderful experience for those soccer coaches that have never played, parents of kids that are playing soccer, those who have played soccer before or just to try a new sport. It also provides a terrific example to your kids. They see mom or dad out playing the same sport, having a good time and it makes a great bonding experience. It also provides excellent examples of sportsmanship, exercise and team building. Also for those who work together, it provides a great opportunity to team build outside of the work place!
Q. What if I have played soccer before?
A. THEN COME AND PLAY AGAIN!! We encourage all levels of players who have played before to sign up. That is why we have the Leagues for each level of play. You can have your choice of which league fits closer with your needs. Please just specify upon registration which league you prefer.
