welcome to RECREATIONAL YOUTH SOCCER DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE (RYSDL)
RECREATIONAL YOUTH SOCCER DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE is committed to our core mission:
Providing an affordable, developmental, and community-focused soccer experience for “true rec” teams, our league is built on the belief that every player deserves a place to play, grow, and enjoy the game in a positive environment. We are proud to offer an inclusive league—welcoming to all skill levels and backgrounds—where players are supported through fun, encouragement, and learning. Our focus is aspirational, emphasizing development over competition, and guided by the belief that character is just as important as skill. With a commitment to 100% referee coverage by professional, MSYSA-sanctioned officials, we ensure a safe and fair playing experience.
"Where Every Player Rises."
"Developing Skills. Building Character."
