General Information: Soccer is open to students in 7th-8th grades. Soccer is a late spring sport. Registration dates will be communicated to school families via the "Weekly School Bulletin" and via email from the Athletic Director.

The Dallas Parochial League hosts Junior Varsity and Varsity co-ed soccer leagues during the late spring. Games are played Friday evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays. Games are played at  Bishop Dunne. Special Note: The Dallas Parochial League will no longer host a co-ed soccer tournament due to the lack of soccer field availability.

Registration: Soccer registration is currently CLOSED.
 

Coed Soccer: Registration opens January 15 and closes February 28, 2018.

To register, complete the Sports Registration Form and pay the entry fee (link shown below).

Current Season Information:

1. The league is coed with 2 divisions – JV (5th/6th) and Varsity (7th/8th). It is not recommended that 5th and/or 6th graders play up on a varsity team. This is a contact sport and the younger players should be playing at their own grade level.  
 

2. League games will be played at Bishop Dunne Friday evenings, all day Saturday, and Sunday.  Season starts on Friday, April 1 and runs through the end of May.

 

The new rule is for the game to be played on a 75 x 47 field (basically 2 soccer fields, side by side on a regulation football field) and 9 vs 9 (as opposed to 11 vs 11). 
 

 3. There will be conflicts with the soccer, track, baseball and softball. With this many sports occurring at the same time of year, the conflicts cannot be avoided. 

Practices: Not mandatory, but can be scheduled at a minimum of two days per week for 1.5 hours each on the St. Mark campus field. Coaches will announce practice information at a team meeting.
