Mad River Youth Soccer League for Divison 1 and 3 has an Age Move-Up Policy .

Information for Fall 2008:

Mad River Youth Soccer League is offering Division 1 and Division 3 Play.
Our program is open to all age appropriate youth in Humboldt County.

1. Our Division 1 and 3 program is known as the Mad River United - We do not distinguish between Arcata and McKinleyville. We serve from Samoa to Trinidad and east to Hoopa. It is our goal to field the strongest teams possible in Division I and to field balanced teams in Division III.

2. Division 3 - We will be choosing teams through a draft system, trying to balance age and skills on each team. It is our policy to form multiple teams wherever possible. Where possible we will begin to go toward an age pure format.

3. Division 3 - If there was one team last year in a playing division and this year there are two teams, all players will be put on the table and drafted. There will be no returning squad.

4. Division 3 - As players move up in age, they will be redrafted onto teams. These players are considered returners but will not necessarily be kept together.

5. Division 1 - Players will be kept together as they move up.

Note: All Division 1 & 3 players do not automatically make a team. They must tryout each year.
