No games on Labor Day weekend.

Play Up Policy

The Gold Country Soccer Board (Board) requires all players to participate at their age-appropriate, youngest team for which they qualify by birth. The purpose of this policy is to promote age-appropriate development (physical, mental and social) of all league players and to maximize each teams competitive advantages. The Board believes that players will develop better at their age appropriate level than at an age level above. It is rare that a player’s development would be hindered by playing at the appropriate age level or significantly advanced by playing up. Conversely, allowing players to play up dilutes the talent and player pool at each age group. While it may help a given team to bolster its roster with an under-age player, this is often at a cost to the younger teams. It also can be detrimental to the overall morale of participants at all levels within the league.

Board policy highly discourages playing up in recreation soccer. Players or teams desiring a higher level of competition are encouraged to tryout for the Gold County United competitive soccer league. The Board may appoint teams or players to any appropriate age group based on Board discretion.
