Division 3
Division Three provides entry-level competition travel team play, and is open to all member Clubs whose teams match this level of play. D3 is designed to serve as an introduction to competitive soccer and/or for players to continue to enjoy the game under less rigorous commitments than D2. Clubs with teams that are not deep in experience or skills will have the opportunity to develop and grow while enjoying the spirit of the game. Commitment for D3 includes travel to Vermont communities that are generally within a 90 minutes travel time (additional travel time maybe expected for a small percentage of games). In keeping with the spirit of introducing players to the game VSL recommends one training session per week for teams competing in D3.
Any member Club may at their discretion place their teams in D3, with guidance from the VSL as appropriate. While it is highly recommended that member Clubs place teams in divisions based on tryouts or through assessment during winter training and play, D3 is generally recommended for Clubs that establish their teams by registration only.
