Summer Saturdays Adult Recreational Soccer  in Scripps Ranch 2024

OPTION #1 Age 37+ ORGANIZED PICKUP LEAGUE

Join us for age 37+ recreational women’s soccer in Scripps Ranch! As of 2024, the league is managed by San Diego Soccer Women and hosted by the Scripps Ranch Women’s Athletic Club (SRWAC), a non-profit that offers year-round sports for women and gives back with annual scholarships to local female student-athletes!

Our goals for the 2024 summer league:
Greater flexibility for player availability (multiple games to choose from each Saturday)
Increased participation (lower minimum age)
Avoid playing in the afternoon heat (morning games only at 2 parks)
Remove the need for team managers and sub players (no set teams)
Better opportunity to be challenged and/or improve (level of play code next to each player’s name is visible on game roster – and – options for 8v8 and 11v11 field sizes)
Offer Women’s Soccer Practice (training with coaches) and Walking Soccer
