Seeding

For all clubs in Sacramento Youth Soccer League, the seeding or bracketing of teams occurs twice a season.  The league's first seeding meeting takes place at the end of August and determines the groupings for the first five games.  The second seeding meeting takes place after the fifth game; games six through ten reflect the new match-ups.


Seeding Tournaments

Learning and having fun can happen whether you win or lose, but it's good for morale to compete against a well-matched opponent. In 2013, our U8 teams had the opportunity to play in East Sacramento's seeding tourney and our U10 and U12 teams were  invited to play on Land Park's seeding day.  Thanks to our fellow SYSL clubs!
