RAYSL MISSION

The Rolla Area Youth Soccer League was formed to provide youth in Rolla and its vicinity an opportunity to play organized soccer.

RAYSL provides coed recreation level soccer for different age groups. No prior playing experience is required. All youths meeting the age requirements are welcome. In addition to having fun, competing, and socializing with peers, participants can expect to learn and improve on the fundamental skills necessary to play the game of soccer. 

The regular RAYSL recreational league play is conducted in three age brackets. They are:

U-15: born on or between August 1, 1995 and July 31, 1998.
U-12: born on or between August 1, 1998, and July 31, 2000.
U-10: born on or between August 1, 2000 and July 31, 2002.

In addition, the Optimist sponsored RAYSL program will target the following two age brackets:

U- 8: born on or between August 1, 2002 and July 31, 2003.
U- 7: born on or between August 1, 2003, and July 31, 2004.
