What is Division II (Competitive Recreation)

Purpose: Division II is the MSA Intermediate playing division for Boys and Girls Under 10 through Under 19 teams. It is a combination developmental and all-star division designed to result in a more competitive level of play. Organizations must maintain recreational soccer program, in each age/gender group in which it intends to form a Division II team, to remain a full member of MSA.

Program: The Program shall be composed of a) permanent, rostered teams made up of secondarily-registered players; or b) developmental player pools made up of secondarily-registered recreation players and established for the purpose of player training and match experience. The players in the developmental pools may be selected for temporary match or event rosters in order to gain match experience during the course of the developmental period. One or more permanent, rostered teams may be established from the player pool by the deadline specified by MSA during the spring season. Permanent, rostered teams in the Program will be eligible to compete in the MSA President’s Cup.  The permanent-rostered teams and the developmental player pools may be formed in any manner, including tryouts. There is no player age variance required.  Organizations may form more than one team or more than one player pool in any age division. There is no requirement for the composition of teams to be adjusted to insure a competitive balance between multiple teams. To be considered a Division II program, it must be opened to any and all players from its MSA-approved territorial boundaries and meet the following additional requirements.
