Teams are formed based on birth year, with players ranging from ages 9 to 15 and older.

MMYSL is a local league with closer travel, mostly within the Tri-City area. Some games may be played in Alma, Mt. Pleasant, Davison, or Traverse City. Competition levels can vary.

Premier teams compete in a statewide league with multiple levels of competition. These teams are more competitive and may travel farther, with most games within a two-hour drive.

For both leagues, half of your games will be home, and half will be away.

Force offers Premier teams starting at U13. Your coach will inform you if you are selected for a spot on a Premier team.
