Youth Winter League

Seven games, played on Saturdays from December 5, 2026 to February 6, 2027. We take a break for Christmas and New Year's.

What is this?

A friendly soccer league for kids. Teams play one game each week. Every team plays all seven games, and the team with the most points at the end wins. There are no playoffs.

How do points work?

  • Win a game: 3 points

  • Tie a game (both teams score the same): 1 point

  • Lose a game: 0 points

Who can play?

  • Boys and girls from ages 5 to 12 (see "Age groups" below)

  • Kids who play for a recreation league and kids who play for a club team. Everyone is welcome.

Age groups

"U" stands for "under." U6 means players under 6 years old, U8 means under 8, and so on.

How do I sign up?

Every player signs up on their own. It's simple:

  • Create an account on CourtReserve. For yourself and your child.

  • Hover over programs. Then select Categories.

  • Press Soccer Programs.

  • Sign up your player. Each player registers individually.

  • Want to play with friends? Pick one person on your team to be the team captain. The captain emails us at mitchell@bristolsportsplex.com and lists everyone who is on the team. A team needs at least 6 players and can have up to 10.

  • Don't have a team? No problem! If you sign up without a team, you are called a "free agent." We will put you on a team we build for you.
