Upper House League thru San Francisco Youth Soccer

Upper Recreational Soccer

San Francisco Upper House is a local competitive league for ages 9 to 15. Upper house is a significant step above recreational soccer as it breaks teams down into Gold, Silver and Bronze depending on the strength of teams. In addition, the time commitment is greater than the recreational league. Upper House competitive teams will play in the fall and spring. Teams will also attend tournaments for additional competition.

Teams will file an intent to play form prior to each season. The intent form will designate teams to the appropriate playing level (Gold, Silver, Bronze). The SFYS Upper House league provides a challenging and competitive season for teams wanting to compete at a high level without the need to travel outside of San Francisco!

SF Competitive Upper House is a local competitive league of San Francisco teams, ages 9 to 15. SFYS Upper House is made up primarily of Gold, Silver and Bronze strength select teams. For the vast majority of teams, the competition is strong enough to provide a good challenge. Many teams prefer not to drive long distances for games every week, and prefer tournament play for additional competition. Importantly, the Upper House leagues do not require you to join a club.

Traditionally, SF Upper House is a significant step up from Recreational soccer, both in strength of play and in the commitment required. Some clubs have a minimum playing time policy, but the SFYS does not have any such rule or guarantee. Almost all the Upper House level competitive teams play at least fall and spring. The majority attend tournaments. Many teams also play winter futsal and/or summer league.

What does this mean? Whilst the classification of Upper House changes, the name does not. However SFYS will be opening up registration to accept all INDEPENDENT and CLUB COMPETITIVE TEAMS from San Francisco.

The playing levels will be designated based on team self-allocating through the ‘intent to play’ and after a review period, the SFYS Upper House league will provide a challenging and competitive season for teams without the need to travel outside of the city!
