The league just finished playing its 30th season and has 230 teams. It is split into two geographic sections, four age groups and 16 divisions -- and a total of 6,400 players, about one-third of whom are 50 and over.
Is this inspiring you to play a little soccer? Go ahead! But take heed of some of our tips for safe soccer play:
- ALWAYS take time to warm up and stretch, especially your hips, knees, thighs and calves.
- Hydrate. Water is your friend when exercising, drink, drink, drink!
- Wear shin guards to protect your lower legs and ankles.
- To help avoid heat illness, pay attention to environmental recommendations, especially about excessively hot and humid weather.
