Youth may register using a variety of gender terms, including “non-binary,” and are welcome to select whichever sports and leagues they prefer. With the SOCCER LEAGUE CHANGES, from "Girls" and "Boys" to "Girls-Open" and "Boys-Open," we aimed to retain some gender specificity while being open to all, on any team.
