Interested in playing? Act fast.

Sign up for CASA at www.phillysoccer.org

The Casa Soccer League is a non-profit atheletic organization located in Philadelphia. Our mission is to bring inexpensive, competitive, full-field, 11 v 11, officiated soccer to Center City and West Philadelphia. Casa, spanish for “house,” is truly a house league, since it is run by volunteer officers who are all players in the league as well. Casa was founded in the summer of 2005 by Liz Choca and Jason Dellmuth. In Summer 2006, Casa was continued by Tom and Ariane Adams. It is now administrated by a board of 10 officers.

Membership is paid through team fees, which are determined each season to ensure that players pay the minimal cost necessary to run the league well. The fees pay for:

Field rentals
Ceritified referees (80% of the cost)
In-house linesmen
Equipment, including nets, balls, lining equipment, lining paint, corner and linesmen flags, emergency kits
Any other miscellaneous items needed to keep the fields playable and the matches running smoothly

All officers are volunteers and are not paid for their services.

Tom has crosslinked our phillysoccer.com and sonsofben.com sites. Thanks Tom.

Any interest in fielding an SoB/Philly MLS team?

I would love to play if the time allows it, especially if it's on sunday mornings. Count me in at Keeper.

I would be interested too. I could even get a team to play in it.

Games on Saturdays... this could theoretically be cool.

Skill requirement? :p

Depends on the league you join. I'm playing in the Segunda division so I'm expecting skill levels to be generally not that great (no disrespect to anyone playing in that division; for all I know I'm going to get smoked). The Premira division actually has people playing in it that played organized ball all the way through college.

All teams have to be registered by friday so you guys would need to jump on that quickly if you wanted to play spring ball.

I stink, but would be willing to be an unskilled fatter version of Maradona.

I wish there was something like this out here in the far NW 'burbs. We have a ton of fields open every weekend just waiting for an adult league. I have the motivation to play in an adult league, but I don't have the motivation to actually start one. Anyone up for that?

I play in this league, and it is a lot of fun. Games are usually on Saturdays. I don't think they have settled on the field yet for the Spring season but it is somewhere in the Fairmount Park. We have people from all over playing so you dont have to live in Philly to play.

Maybe by fall we could have a roster, I think this Friday might be too tight

tomorrow is short notice .... plus if we shoot for the fall then some people (ahem, edogg) could switch teams and play for the SoBs.

For all we know I may be more helpful on the other team. I haven't played anything but small side in 10 years. I may be a massive liability. I do know how to take a foul though so I'm not totally worthless.

I can't do the spring league but I would love to play this fall...I assume there is a fall league as it didn't jump out at me on the website. I also need a few months to get in soccer-shape. Softball-shape is merely hoisting a Lager to my lips, and I am sure to always be in mid-season form when it comes to that...

I signed up as a FA for Segunda. If picked up, I'll be interested to see how the quality of play is.

In Northern California we have the Peninsula Soccer League which I believe was founded by (or at least he was very active in the league) Hall of Famer Umberto Ambronzino.

In Southern CAL there is the Granddaddy of them all (at least on the west coast I believe), the Greater Los Angeles Soccer League.
