The Roots Soccer League is considered Town/Travel or Super Rec league, we cover the Pioneer Valley area of Western MA (with travelling teams from VT and CT). We only accept organizations who roster players directly from their home town or catchment local area (any "out-of-town" players need to be approved).
Any new organization joining the league needs to be voted in by the existing membership, all current clubs have a vote (weighted by the # of teams). As well as fore-filling the criteria above new clubs should also have in place the following:
- A legally compliant corporation (or to be in the process)
- To have access to home fields - 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11, dual purpose fields are fine
- Be able to provide a Club Rep to attend Competition Committee meetings
- The ability to enter multiple teams, i.e. not be a single team club
- Long-term plan to sustain or grow numbers
To apply to join, or for more information, please contact the RSL's Executive Director - David Barton
