Please see below and attached for information relating to the DSL Spring 25' Soccer Season:
Schedules:
For those that have coached before in the league, the format of the Schedules should be familiar. I've attached both in Excel formats, let me know if anyone has trouble opening them. In both documents, there is a tab for each of the following brackets:
- First Grade
- Second Grade
- First/Second Grade
- Third Grade
- Fourth Grade
- Third/Fourth Grade
- Girls JV/V
- MLS (7's JV/V bracket)
- Premier (11's JV/V bracket)
Home teams are listed first and are in blue, Away teams are listed second and are in yellow – if something doesn't look right let me know, it may be a typo or I should be able to explain it. For those that are new to coaching and are having trouble understanding the schedule, check with your coordinator, AD or a seasoned coach and they should be able to explain it. If you still can't make sense of it, reach out to me and I can walk you through it. Home game days, times and locations are listed for each school and if you are the away team refer to the hosting teams information rows for those details, unless the cell for your game contains a different time or location, then refer to that specific time/location. Generally speaking, each JV/V team plays 8 games and each developmental team plays 7. In developmental brackets that have an odd amount of teams, one randomly selecting team has an 8th game to make sure that all teams get at least 7 because of, well, math.
The attached schedule reflects our best efforts to accommodate all of the requests. If something changed from the date that you submitted your registration or I was not able to accommodate the request that you made, you will need to reach out to the opposing team to coordinate a new game time, please include me on those emails. Also, home teams must remember to include me on emails that update game information, and with respect to JV/Varsity matches and developmental matches that PIAA refs are utilized, they must include our referee coordinator, Chuck Pruss, who is cc'd here. Home Teams, please communicate issues as they are discovered with ample time and consideration provided to all involved. Away teams please be understanding and as flexible as you can when home teams reach out

Good morning and happy New Year everyone. I know it's still January, but this is the time of year that my thoughts turn to DSL soccer and I have to start gearing up to get things ready for our spring season and our registration for schools for the spring season is officially open. Below is the Spring 25' timeline, which is substantially similar to the one I sent at the end of the fall season. Also, attached you can find a form of registration and form of player roster. As a reminder, registration is open now and will close on February 21. On 2/21 registration fees are also due, schools that have not submitted both the forms and the fees will not be scheduled. The first practice dates are set by schools, other than the requirement that no practices can start prior to 3/10. Player Rosters are due 3/21, and the first games start the week/weekend of 3/22 as well.Two other quick notes as well.1. So far the response for an all girls division at JV or Varsity (5v5 format) has not generated a lot of interest league wide. If this is something that you would like to register for please let me know, if we have enough teams I am happy to make a go of it, but currently there does not appear to be much in the way of demand.2. Starting today I will be out of office for two weeks and won't have any access to email or cellular phone during that time. Please hold any questions until I return on 1/16 and I can circle up with you then.
