Our leagues

Frederick Fours

The Frederick Fours is our 4v4 co-ed league. he Frederick Fours is the only MSYSA-sanctioned league using US Soccer recommended age appropriate team sizes for the 7/8U player. We use the 'Dual Field' format of organizing teams for their game day experience.

Teams of 10-12 players are created and then divided in half to play their opponent who does the same. The 'half teams' play on side-by-side fields (approx. 25 v 35 yards). At halftime, one team switches their 'half teams' so all the players play the 'full' team of their opponent. Games are 4 - 10 minute quarters. No scores or standings are published for this league. Please contact Dave Shannon with any questions.


Soccer in the Summer League (SiSL)

In July 2020, Soccer in the Summer League (SiSL) emerged as the first league to begin operating in Frederick County post-quarantine. The SiSL season begins in late June and runs through the end of July each summer. The league's 7v7 format (6 Field Players + GK, 2x30 minutes), with each team playing two games per week (8 total), allows for maximum roster flexibility.

HexaLeague (H League)

Our Hexa-League is our 6-a-side league (5 field players and a goalie).
