HOW IT WORKS

  • Two Practices Per Week

    • First practice of the week: Led by MCSA’s professional coaching staff for each full age group, mentoring both volunteer coaches and players.

    • Team Practice: Later in the week, volunteer coaches run the same training session with their teams—on the same field, with support from MCSA staff.

  • Saturday Games
    Each Saturday, players from all participating towns come together for game day matchups, with games rotating primarily between Ukiah and Willits.

    The season kicks off with our popular preseason tournament in Mendocino. During the season, we will also include an additional trip to the coast and a potential visit to Laytonville. We aim to honor every community involved while keeping travel manageable for families.

  • Train Local, Play Together
    Each team practices in their local hometown—keeping the weeknight commitment easy for families, while offering the excitement and organization of a true county-wide league.

  • Volunteer Coaches, Fully Supported
    MCSA staff provides practice plans, training, and ongoing support so every coach and every player is set up for success.

UNIFORM INFO

All players will need an MCSA uniform kit, which includes:

  • Home jersey (Royal Blue)

  • Away jersey (Grey)

  • Shorts

  • Socks

Uniform kits cost approximately $75 and are designed to last two full seasons. Many players love wearing their jerseys to school—and in some cases, they may carry over to select teams. You will be sent a link to order uniforms by June 1st.
