League Details

 

How Does It Work?

It's 8 on 8, 5 men and 3 women on the field at all times. We play on a short field with a goalie and real goals. We keep it exciting for everyone on the team through our four divisions (Players, Sorta Players, Casual and Extremely Casual) (click above for full set of rules).

What's the Cost and What's Included?

 

Early/regular registration will open July 26th/August 6th and close August 5th/August 20th or earlier if the league sells out. League fees are TBD for a team of 15 players ($35 for each additional player over 15 - no limit to number of players on your roster) and TBD for individuals (we'll get everyone on a team). ZogSports donates a percentage of our profit to charity.

  • Fee includes:
  • 7 regular season games and 1 scrimmage
  • Hired ZogSports referees (1/game as the head ref - in addition to team linesmen)
  • A heart-wrenching single elimination playoff tournament (50% of teams qualify)
  • One t-shirt per person on the roster
  • Soccer field fees
  • Equipment
  • "Prize Money" from our sponsors donated to the winning team's charity of choice
  • League administration
  • Organized Happy Hours at local bars after the games

When Does It Start and When Are the Games?

The season starts September 7th. Teams will play Monday-Thursday evenings. Games run from 6-10:30PM. Teams will have a game almost every week.

Where Are We Playing?

 

Games will take place at the following fields. Because the amount of field space we have at each field varies we try and give all teams an even amount of games at each locations.

  • Columbia - Bakers Field Athletic Complex Soccer Field (533 West 218th Street)
  • Riverbank State Park (138th and Riverside Drive)
  • Randall's Island #'s 50-51, 70-75, 90-91)
  • Roosevelt Island - Brand new turf field

What Are the Rules?

 

This is a fun, recreational league. So we want everyone to play, stay involved and stay safe. The key rules are:

  • 8 on 8, 5 men and 3 women on the field at all times
  • Short field with a goalie and real goals
  • Two 24-minute running halves
  • Head referee (1/game) provided by ZogSports
  • Team referees still required - each team is responsible to providing 1 linesman either before or after their game
  • For full set of rules, see link at top of page

Levels of Play

 

  • Players Division - Think you're a jock? This division will be competitive, but still fun.
  • Sorta Players - Pretty good athletes, maybe played together before, but still social.
  • Casual Division - Played before? Not a bad athlete? This is the happy middle ground. 
  • Extremely Casual Division - this is the pure fun division. It's for you if you're looking more for the social than the competition or consider yourself a beginner at the organized game.

ZogSports will try to accommodate all team and individual player requests for Division, but cannot guarantee all requests. We will not place an individual player more than 1 division (above or below) their original request. In order to create the best possible experience for the whole league ZogSports will place returning teams in the division we feel most appropriate.
