Essex United teams compete in the Vermont Soccer League (VSL). This is a competitive travel league for teams throughout the state of Vermont. The league consists of three divisions which are grouped by competitive level. League matches begin in early May and run into mid-June. Game days and locations vary depending on the age group and on the division. Most games are played on weekends, Friday evening through Sunday. More information is available on the league website at www.vermontsoccerleague.org.

EUSC also holds a yearly tournament toward the end of June (free for our teams). Teams may choose to also play in other in-state or out-of-state tournaments. Out-of-state tournaments often involve a day or two of lodging expense. In the past years, our teams have participated in competitive tournaments in New Hampshire, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine,and Canada.
