A New
Take on Soccer in Seattle
The Mariners (and occassionally the Sonics and Hawks) get the
press - but Seattle is really a soccer town. Soccer has the highest
participation among all adult rec team sports, and the city has
a true culture of players and fans that gather at watering holes
around town to catch their favorite European clubs on satellite
week in and week out. While the big American pro sports get the
city's attention every few years with a good team - soccer is
the Seattle constant.
Despite the enthusiasm and dedication of thousands of players,
Seattle's adult rec soccer leagues are often a frustrating experience.
Ever had to drive to Olympia and pay extra money to get a league
ID card? Ever had your entire schedule on an "all-weather"
field (when "all weather" means a hard, dusty/muddy,
dirt pitch you wouldn't walk your dog on)? Have you had to drive
to a suburb you've never heard of for one game, then to a new
far flung locale the next week? Maybe your team has taken a spot
in a league that plays at 9 PM on Friday nights because it was
that or nothing? Ever found yourself in league where the style
of play was way too rough and competitive?
Ok, that was overkill. But if you're a soccer player in this town,
you probably answered yes to at least one of those questions.
Shamrock Soccer was started because adult rec soccer doesn't have
to be that way. You won't need any strange league ID cards, have
to fill out mortgage-like paperwork, or put up with a bad field
to be in Shamrock Soccer. Our leagues are available for sign-up
online, play on some of the best fields in Metro Seattle, and
are filled on a first come first serve basis.
And, it's Shamrock Short Sided Soccer,
a more compact format of the game that gives players more touches
and more action on a smaller field, with rules that make soccer
a little less physical by limiting challenges and rough play.

on the Short Sided Format
The goal of Shamrock Soccer is to give beginning and experienced
players a unique alternative to traditional leagues - soccer in
a laid back atmosphere that emphasizes fun over intense competition.
