Instructions for Free Agents
Are you new to the DMVand looking to play soccer? Are you an individual player needing a team? Read below about all your registration options.
Register for Free Agent leagues
Individually register for a free agent league, and District Soccer will handle the rest! We will place you on a team, provide a jersey, and get you set for the season. These programs are for all skill-levels; a good opportunity for new players or long-time players to meet new people - or for players looking to ease back into soccer.
Register for Free Agent Teams
If the days for the Free Agent leagues don’t work with your schedule, check out Free Agent teams. Registration guarantees a place on a free agent team within a certain league. We provide a jersey, place you on a team of free agents, and get you set for the season! Free Agent Teams are only available in targeted leagues each season.
Register For a Free Agent Waitlist
Players can register for the free agent waitlist in any league. Free Agent registration is cost-free in all programs and does not guarantee you a spot in the league. Captains can see your LeagueApps bio, so use it to explain whether you are looking to join a team or substitute and describe your playing experience and preferred position(s). Log in through the District Soccer Dashboard above to edit your bio!
If team captains in the league need players to fill out their roster or sub, you will receive a message via email. If you mutually agree that the team is a good match, the captain can invite you to their roster. Once you accept an invitation, you will be invoiced for the team
Join the Team and Get in the Game!
Join your team, hit the field, and experience the joy of soccer while building connections and having fun!
Instructions for Team Captains
Find A Player
Find a player registered to your program and select "Send Message." From within your LeagueApps account, click the league, then click ‘Players.’ Free agents can be viewed by captains only.
Message a player
Send the player an introductory email asking about their playing experience, preferred position(s), and any information you'd like to provide about your team (how long you've been playing in District Soccer, team culture, playing style, etc).
Send an invitation
If you mutually agree that the free agent and your team are a good match, you can send them an invite to join your roster for the season. You can also reach out to free agents throughout the season if you're looking for single-match subs
Need Support
If you are still looking for additional players after reviewing the players registered to your program, please email info@districtsoccer.org to request that our team reach out to players in other programs on your behalf; you must be willing to share your contact information with free agents in order to exercise this option.
