FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

📝 Registration & Team Formation

Registration is easy! Visit our website at GemCitySocialSports.com, navigate to the 'Soccer' or 'Leagues' page, and select the current season. You will be prompted to create an account and choose your registration type (Free Agent, Small Group, or Team Captain).

All skill levels are welcome! We are a Social League first and foremost. Our players range from brand-new beginners to former college athletes. The main goal is to have fun, get active, and meet new people. Don't be intimidated if you haven't played in years (or ever)—we'll help you learn!

If you don't have a team, you register as a Free Agent. This is a great way to meet people! We will place you on a team that needs players or combine you with other Free Agents to form a new team.

This option is for you and a few friends (2-5 players) who want to play together but don't have enough people for a full team. One person creates a 'Small Group' name during registration, and the others select that group when they sign up. We will then place your entire group onto the same team together.

This is for captains who have a complete roster ready to go. The captain registers the team first, and then team members register and select the specific team name from the list. You control your roster size, though we recommend carrying enough subs for the season.

Full Teams are placed directly into the league schedule. For Small Groups & Free Agents, we look at the available roster spots on existing teams and the number of unassigned players. We aim to balance roster sizes to ensure every team has enough subs (usually aiming for 10-12 players per team) to account for absences and rest time.

⚽ Game Format & Rules

This is an all-women’s 7v7 league. Teams play with a maximum of 7 players on the field (6 field players + 1 goalie). The minimum number of players required to start a game without forfeiting is 5.

Games consist of two 25-minute running halves with a brief 5-minute halftime. The clock runs continuously and only stops for official timeouts or serious injuries.

No. For the safety of all players, slide tackling is strictly prohibited. A slide tackle results in an indirect or direct kick for the opposing team (depending on severity/contact). Slide to block a shot is generally allowed if no other player is nearby, but we recommend staying on your feet.

No. Because we play 7v7 on a shortened field, there is no offside rule. You can cherry-pick, but remember—defense wins championships!

Substitutions are unlimited and can be made 'on the fly' during play, or during stoppages. The player leaving the field must be off (or within 5 yards of the sideline) before the new player enters.

🏆 Standings & Points

We use a 'Social Scoring' system: Win = 10 Points, Draw = 5 Points, Loss = 0 Points. You also get 5 Bonus Points for submitting a team photo to the league manager/Spond!

No. While we encourage everyone to socialize after games, there are no standings points awarded for after-party attendance or mini-games in the Women's league.

If teams are tied on total points, the order is: Total Wins, Total Team Photos Submitted, Fewest Forfeits, Head-to-Head record, then Goal Differential.

👕 Equipment & Uniforms

Rubber molded cleats or turf shoes are allowed (NO metal cleats). Shin guards are strongly recommended for your safety. Please remove hoop earrings, long necklaces, or jagged rings before playing.

Gem City Social Sports provides league t-shirts. We ask that all players wear their league shirt. If a sub or new player doesn't have one yet, they should wear a shirt of a matching color to the rest of the team. Replacement shirts are available for $15.

🌧️ Weather & Logistics

We play Rain or Shine! Unless there is lightning or the field conditions are deemed dangerous, the game is on. If lightning is seen, play is suspended for 25 minutes. Everyone must return to their cars.

You need 5 players to start an official game. If you have 5 or fewer roster players, you may pick up subs (must be women) to get to 7 players, provided the opposing captain agrees. If you cannot field a team, please notify us by 3:00 PM the day before.

No. This is strictly a women's league; all field players and goalkeepers must be women.
