Recreation Soccer

$100.00 per player  

Returning players registering from November 4 to January 15 will be automatically returned to the team they were on the previous season (for example, for the Spring 2025 season, players will be returned to the team they were on in the Fall 2024 season). Returning Players’ families will receive an invite through LeagueApps to register for their team.  

Returning players who sign up during this window making a Transfer Request to join a new team will be placed next. Transfer Requests are filled in the order in which you register, so it is important to register as early as possible. If you are uncertain about playing in the Spring but would like to return to your Fall 2024 team if you do, please sign up during the Return to Team window! If you decide not to play and let us know in writing before the February 14 deadline, you will receive a full refund. If you do not sign up during the Return to Team window, you will most likely NOT be able to return to your team.  

After all returning players are placed, new players will be placed on teams after January 15 based on the order in which they completed registration. Please note that players who did not play in the Fall 2024 season are not eligible for “Return to Team.”  

ALL players intending to play in the Spring recreation season should register from November 4 – January 15.  

$110.00 per player 

Completed registrations during this time will be placed on an available recreation team. Players will be placed and requests will be considered in the order they are received. Returning players:  Return to Team priority placement no longer applies.

February 22: The final day to notify MSI that you intend to switch to the Classic or Travel League:  after February 14, a player registered for the Recreation League, who has not notified MSI of their withdrawal, will not be permitted to play on a Classic or Travel team. Please see Additional Information for additional instructions.

Registrations completed during this period will be placed on a placement pending list. Team placement for late registrants will proceed as room is available. Please note that team placements may take place as late as after the first scheduled games. Additionally, March 10-14 will be our uniform preparation and distribution window.
