San Francisco Adult Soccer Leagues

Volo Soccer coed leagues require a minimum number of female players on the field at all times. For 8v8 a minimum of 2 women on the field. For 7v7 a minimum of 2 women on the field and for 5v5 a minimum of 1 woman on the field. To start a game, teams must have at least 4 players present, and at least one of those players must be female. If your team is short on players, captains can open drop-in spots through the Volo app to help meet roster and coed requirements for that league night.

Volo registration fees are dependent on location and day of the week, so you will need to check the league details. Once you sign up for a Volo league, everything else is taken care of for you. Your registration includes a Volo shirt, referees, venue costs, insurance, player perks, equipment, prizes, league management, and more. Don’t forget, when you sign up with Volo, your league registration helps provide free youth sports programs in San Francisco through the Volo Kids Foundation. #playitforward

All Volo soccer teams are required to have a minimum of 12 players for outdoor and 10 players for indoor and futsal. If you and your crew don’t have a full roster, we’ll merge you with another small group. FYI – merged teams generally have extra players to protect against forfeits. If you’d like to make sure you have a larger or smaller team, you can register as a prepaid team which allows you to determine the number of players on your team.

Volo leagues are all about being social while burning up a sweat! We welcome all skill levels, beginner, intermediate and competitive. Please check each league for specific information or send us an email at [email protected] if you have questions!

Registering as a Volo prepaid team guarantees that only your invited players will be on your roster, no free agents or small groups will be added to your team. Prepaid teams also have the flexibility to add players after registration closes and before the season starts by contacting [email protected].

If you are registering for a Volo league alone you will sign up as a free agent. When signing up as a free agent you will be added to a team based on team needs and matching interests/skill levels.

To join a Volo league with friends, one person should register as a "Start a Small Group." After registering, they'll receive a personalized invite link to share with friends. Anyone who registers using that link will be placed on the same team. If you and your friends have already registered separately as free agents, email [email protected] and we'll do our best to place you on the same Volo team.

When a Volo SF season begins, registration for the next season opens on our website. New leagues launch at Early Bird pricing, which is the lowest price available for registration. Volo will notify you through email and the Volo app about upcoming Early Bird deadlines and registration close dates, so be sure to keep an eye on your inbox and notifications. Once Early Bird pricing ends, leagues move to regular pricing until the last day for registration, when Last Chance pricing goes into effect for any remaining spots.

Yes, substitute players can join during the regular season through Volo's drop-in system. Your team captain can open a drop-in spot through the Volo app. For the first 10 minutes, the registration link is private, allowing you to share it directly with a friend. After 10 minutes, the spot becomes publicly available on the Volo app and website for any eligible player to claim. Drop-in players are not permitted during playoffs.

To help prevent forfeits, teams that do not have enough players to meet the league's minimum roster requirements should open drop-in spots through the Volo app. Opening a drop-in spot allows another Volo player to join your team as a substitute for that night's games only. If your team needs a female player to meet coed roster requirements, captains can create a women-only drop-in spot to ensure the team remains eligible to play. Reminder: Drop-in players are only permitted during the regular season and are not allowed during playoffs
