Coast Soccer League is excited to offer teams the opportunity to play competitive soccer this spring and prepare for the fall 2024 season. CSL will offer leagues at all levels of play, with CRL for Premier and Championship teams, and the traditional Spring League of Division 1 and Division 2 brackets etc that includes Spring Cup for all levels.
One of the primary goals of Spring Soccer is to allow more players to compete in a competitive soccer environment without the pressure to win at all costs. Your team can gain valuable playing time before State Cup or to prepare for the upcoming 2024 Fall Season.
The Spring League is for CSL Division 1, Division 2 and Division 3 teams. It will use the 2023-24 game format, have flexible rosters and deliver the full CSL experience. Registration will include the CSL seeded Spring Cup tournament to allow for different levels of play.
The California Regional League provides your team the best opportunity to play against high level competition during the Spring. Top Teams from CSL Premier and CSL Championship Divisions will face off against top teams from other leagues in the Southern California region.
Games will be played in March and April (10 games) with Spring Cup held in May. To learn more about the CSL Spring league, please read the frequently asked questions below.
