Sequim adult soccer league begins next week
SEQUIM — Registration is now open for the Sequim adult spring soccer league.
The first game is Wednesday, March 18.
This will be the league’s eighth season of eight-on-eight soccer matches for ages 16 and older.
This year, the league will have a few changes:
■ A split into two divisions: Gold and Silver.
The Gold league is for players who want a highly competitive league. A Champions Cup trophy to go to the winning team’s sponsor.
The Silver league will be a less competitive, co-ed recreational league, and is suggested for players that are 40 and older, newer to the game or perhaps looking for more recreational-style game.
■ A women’s only division planned for Summer 2015. It likely will be combined with the Port Angeles adult league.
