Corporate LeaguesWhy play Soccer?
Soccer is the most-played sport on the planet for a reason. It's fast, it's social, it's the rare game where 22 strangers can become a team in 90 minutes. Volo brings that same energy to adult soccer leagues across the country, with coed, men's, and women's formats running year-round on turf, grass, and indoor pitches. Whether you grew up playing club, picked it up in college, or are lacing up your first pair of cleats since middle school, there's a league that fits.What makes Volo different is the world around the game. A real team that expects you. Officiated matches that run on time. Post-match hangs at neighborhood bars where the league lives off the pitch as much as on it. World Cup watch parties, citywide tournaments, and a community of players who treat the beautiful game like the social anchor it's meant to be. Show up solo, bring your crew, or build a team from scratch. Either way, you leave with a sport, a squad, and a standing weekly plan.

Soccer in Boston FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
One of you should register as captain of a new group. Once the captain has completed registration they will get a team link. The captain should send the team link to all players so they register directly to the correct team.
League info will be sent via email a minimum of 48 hours prior to the first game. When you get the league info email you will be able to login to your app and see all important details including your team name, teammates, and schedule.
For 6v6, 7v7, and 8v8 formats you need at least two men/women on the field at all times to play at full strength. For 11v11 leagues you need 3 of each gender. In all formats you need at least one man/woman to be present for a game to be official. You will play down a person for each number of players you are short. Example: If you are in a 7v7 league and have one one woman you will play down a person so that it's 7v6 or If you are in a 11v11 league and have only one woman you play down two people so that it's 11v9. You can recruit players from other teams in the league to help sub for you if it isn't the playoffs.
The only way to guarantee you don't have any free agents and/or small groups added to your roster is to hit the team minimum. See team minimums on our rules page. If you're not going to reach the team minimum and don't want any additional players added you can register as a prepaid team. A prepaid team allows you to have as big or small of team as you want by paying a fixed cost. Team minimums (please note both team size and gender requirements must be met to be considered complete):
