Competition Levels in Adult Soccer
The City of Fayetteville will be offering a Recreational Open League and a Competitive Open League. Both leagues are coed open and the rules are the same for each league, but the playing experience differs between leagues.
Recreational Open League (Non-Competitive, Purely Fun)
The Recreational Coed League is for teams seeking a fun-first, organized coed adult soccer program. The level of competition is designed for those who prefer fun, recreational soccer playing and for those who are new to the game of soccer or are just getting back into the game. Geared towards the recreational and novice level player.
Competitive Open League (Moderately Competitive)
The Competitive Open League is for teams who like more competition. The majority of players have some soccer experience. Geared towards intermediate teams that are seeking to challenge themselves and others. This is for our intermediate level players to moderately competitive players.
