Capital Coed Soccer League ("CCSL")
The CCSL was founded in 1994 and is the only USSF affiliated coed soccer league in Washington, D.C. From its inaugural season composed of six teams more than ten years ago, the CCSL has grown into one of the largest coed leagues in the area with 36 teams competing at all skill levels. The top-ranked premier division has the highest level of competition, with two teams having been crowned champions of the first five U.S. Adult Soccer Association's National Coed Cups. Less competitive teams compete in the CCSL's first and second divisions, while recreational and beginner teams compete in CCSL's third division. There is promotion and relegation in each CCSL division every spring and fall season. The CCSL has been a longstanding supporter of D.C. United, dating all the way back to D.C. United's first championship season in 1996. For more information about the CCSL, visit www.theccsl.com.
