There are year-round opportunities for adults to play soccer.
During the Spring and Summer seasons,we play games every Monday night starting at 6 PM, with home games played at CO Johnson Park in Byram Township. During the Fall season, we play on Saturday afternoons beginning at 3:30 PM. During our Winter Indoor Season, we play January through March from 7-10 PM every Saturday night at the Byram Intermediate School gym. The level of play is semi-competitive, with most players having played at the varsity level of their high school or perhaps some college experience. We play by all FIFA rules except for no slide-tackling. We play for fun, for exercise and to win, but sportsmanship is paramount.
For those interested in joining one of our three adult teams, Please email the team manager Ray Bonker at [email protected] for availability. The costs per season are low, usually $25 for an outdoor season, about $100 for the winter indoor.
Anyone who plays with the adult program is required to sign the Adult Waiver Form.
