2024 Men’s Summer Soccer League, 7v7 at Durham College/Ontario Tech University

Here’s a quick bit of information regarding the league that I run at Durham College/ Ontario Tech University:

• Games are held Thursdays from 6-11pm.
• I should have both of the fields
• Ideally, majority of games will occur between 7pm-10pm (This depends on how many teams we have in the league. If teams have a preference for earlier or later games, I will try my best to accommodate).
  -Games are 50 min total in duration, with 2, 25 min halves. In the event of a tie team will play a 4v4 golden goal for 5 min.

-Rules are the similar to Whitby and Civic leagues (Throw-ins, corners, no slide tackles etc.) The complete list of rules are listed on the league website. Durhamregionsoccercentre.com

• Summer Season anticipated start date is mid-May running to mid October, including playoffs - approximately 25 games

• Playoffs are extended to approximately a month for a more intense competitive experience

• Last season the winning team won $500 last year. If there are a sufficient number of teams, I will run 2 divisions once every team has played each other to determine whom will be in the Premier Division or the 2nd division.

• If 2 divisions are formed, both winners of each division will receive a cash award. However, the winner of Premier Division (as it’s more competitive) will receive a higher cash award than the winner of the Second tiered division.

• I record and keep player and career stats updated on the website weekly
  Incentives:

• Monies will be given to the top goal scorer

• Monies will be given to the top Goal Keeper

• Monies will be given to the league MVP.

• If someone breaks a league record, that individual will also win money

• league records will be posted on the website.

• I run a complementary All-Star Game where I cover the cost of the field and I will supply beers for everyone for after the game.

• I usually have players throw in $20 each and winning team takes the pot to make it more interesting for the All-Star Game.

• connections to local restaurants and pubs for team/player food discounts

• teams/players can keep their receipts in which a percentage can be used after the season for food and drinks

• teams can order customized kits at a discounted price if desired (Teams cover the costs for their own kits). If teams are willing to place sponsors on their uniforms, I have a list of sponsors that will help cover the team uniform costs in return

• winning team will be engraved in Championship Cup

• winning team will be pictured with it on the leagues website as League Champion

• more details available on my website with upcoming updates

The DSL league offers :
Competitive/Fair pricing with incentives!
Team fee is $3150 for approximately 25 games. On a 14 man roster it works out to $225 per player and equals 9$ per game…

• In contrast., Whitby charges over $18-19 a game for 17-18 games at $300 per player that equals $4200

• I also have player insurance for all players as well which is included in the price

If there any questions feel free to contact me at any time. I can be contacted at leagueinfo@durhamregionsoccercentre.com

I’ll send all the details regarding the Charitable Cash Cup as well very soon.
