PlayVS is excited to kick off recreational Middle School leagues! Here are some important questions and answers for coaches enrolling in Middle School Leagues.
League Types
Is the Middle School league competitive or recreational?
Recreational leagues: A recreational league is a non-competitive environment where teams learn the basics of gameplay and teamwork. Most Middle School leagues are recreational and will not include Playoffs or Championships matches post-season.
Competitive leagues: Competitive leagues will not be offered in the inaugural season for Middle Schools (unless dictated by the state association, districts, or athletics organization).
When does the Middle School league take place?
For most Middle School Leagues, Fall '24 preseason begins 9/9/24. Please review the detailed Fall ‘24 Middle School Schedule here.
Will there be Middle School state leagues?
Not initially. Middle School state leagues may be added at a later date closer to the Fall season.

No, we will not hold playoffs or championships for Middle School leagues. Middle School leagues will consist of only recreational leagues, with 2-week Preseason and 11-week Regular Season phases. Playoffs and championship phases may be included in potential future state leagues.
