Winter Futsal League with Capital Soccer
Dynamos enters several teams from U10 through U14 in the Capital Soccer Club's seven week futsal league beginning in early March. All games are played at the Central Vermont Memorial Civic Center in Montpelier. Futsal is an indoor version of soccer played with 5 players to a side and on a much smaller "field". It is a fast-paced game with many rule modifications which can be viewed here. Registration for futsal typically opens in January but is by invitation only by interested coaches. Costs are typically about $750 per team and may be divided evenly among players though some teams seek out sponsorships.
If you are interested in forming a team under the Dynamos umbrella, you will need to become a coach first (requires a background check and successful completion of SafeSport and Concussion awareness online courses - all of which are no cost to you) and then you may form a team.
Vermont Soccer League (Spring Soccer)
In the Spring, Dynamos enters teams from U8 through U19 in the seven week competitive Vermont Soccer League beginning the first weekend of May. Teams practice two evenings each week with 1-2 games typically scheduled on the weekend. Teams may participate in the Essex United Tournament as well as the Target United Cup - both in Essex where teams usually play a minimum of 3 games. Coaches may select an alternate tournament to participate in including but not limited to Nordic Cup at Essex and the Memorial Day 242 Classic in Jay Peak.
Registration for the Spring VSL teams begin in October and runs through January. Each player must purchase a full uniform (or reuse one from a previous season) consisting of soccer socks, shorts, and a Dynamos numbered jersey. Click here for details.
