LEASIDE-EAST TORONTO SOCCER CLUB

The Leaside-East Toronto Soccer Club organizes adult soccer for a co ed league
(men and women) and for a women's only league.

Depending on enrolment, the Co ed League comprises 2 divisions, one an open 
division of 12 to 16 teams and one an over 35 division of 4 to 8 teams. The 
Women's only league comprises one division of 6 to 8 teams. 

We play our games on Fridays starting May 16 and going to the end of August; 
for the co ed league at BMO Stadium, Birchmont Stadium, Sunnybrook Park, Flemingdon 
Park, George Vanier High School, Woodbine Middle School, Nelson Boyton High School, 
Vaughan Road Academy, Wexford High School, Leaside High School, Stephen Leacock 
High School, York Mills Collegiate, Danforth Tech and Monarch Park High School.For 
the women's only league the games are at Sunnybrook, Leaside High, Woodbine and 
George Vanier. 

The Co Ed league is made up of approximately 90% men and 10% women.

The teams are made up using the following principals:
1st. by whoever requested to be with someone else
2nd. to ensure an even age distribution on every team.
3rd. to bring each team size up to 18.
Once we take to the field, if there are obviously differences (people who have played
at a high level being one extreme) we will try to balance the teams.
The leagues are open to all participants 17 years and older. Last year the average 
age span for both leagues was about 25 to 45 years old.
Slide tackles are not allowed in our leagues. A slide tackled will be penalitalized with
a direct kick to the opposite team.
The cost is $ 165 and includes the uniform. The Club provides and pays for the referees.
We only want participants who are interested in playing a recreational game. To us the 
recreational game means we play for physical exercise, fun and comradeship; results of 
the game are of secondary importance. We expect all decisions of the referees to be 
accepted without dissent. We know that in the competition emotions are raised; where a 
player loses control of those emotions they will be simply asked to step out. If a red 
card is issued, the player should sit out the next game. If there is another red card 
in the same season to the same player, that player should be asked to sit out 3 additional 
games. If there is a third red card to the same player in the same season, that player 
should be told to leave permanently and the balance of his/her registration fees will be 
returned.

The level of the play in the mixed league and the women's only league varies widely, 
from those who have never played soccer to those who have played some rep or university soccer.
Although it is not obligatory, we encourage people to sign up with friends as it makes the 
experience that more enjoyable.
