LAKE COUNTY – The Clearlake Youth Soccer League is inviting signups for its summer season.

The recreational league serves boys and girls, ages 5 through 16, said Steve Mayfield, the league's board president.

League play takes place from the first week of September to the first week of November. All games are held at the Middletown High School soccer complex on Saturdays between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Look for the league's booth at this weekend's Middletown Days.

Mayfield said the league is unique in the entire state because it's primarily recreational rather than competitive.

Teams are mixed, with boys and girls playing together, Mayfield said.

Last year, 47 teams and nearly 450 children participated, he said.

Monday, June 30, is the last possible day to register.

Registration fees are due at the time of registration. Cost is $65 for the first child in a family, $60 for the second and $55 for each additional child.

The fee includes a team trophy and a uniform shirt, shorts and socks (but not the required cleats or shin

guards). Please bring a copy of each child’s birth certificate at time of registration.

Any late registrations will require a non-refundable $25 late processing fee (per child) and will not guarantee placement on a team.

Registrations sent by mail must be received by the June 30 deadline, or include the late processing fee. Applications should be sent to the Clearlake Youth Soccer League, P.O. Box 3737, Clearlake, CA 95422.

Forms can be downloaded at the league's Web site, www.clearlakeysl.org.

The league also has vacancies on its board of directors, and welcomes financial support for its programs.
