What is the size of your field?
SoccerZone has an surface measuring 84'x 184' that can be used as a large single field and a 70' X 50' small field. Our facility offers the best playing surface in the country!
What is the surface on your field?
Our surface is covered with SOF-Step 200. SOF-Step 200 is a revolutionary synthetic turf, designed to duplicate the playing conditions of real grass. SOF-Step 200 surfaces deliver optimal performance and provide ideal playing conditions all year long. SOF-Step 200 fibers are made from a polyethylene and polypropylene blend, treated and tufted into a unique porous surface backing. Specially engineered equipment places each individual grass fiber in a pattern that emulates real grass. The patented hybrid fiber is strong, smooth, soft, and forgiving.
The infill is made from ground rubber and surrounds each SOF-Step 200 fiber like natural earth holds a blade of grass. The infill provides a non- compactable, resilient, natural earth feel. The interaction between the synthetic grass fibers and the patented ground rubber infill system delivers the ultimate footing for all athletes. It looks like grass, feels like grass and plays like grass.

How much does it cost to register my team at SoccerZone South Austin?
Team registration fees vary by league. With a roster of 11 players the average cost per player, per session is about $60.
Each team is required to have matching team shirts, although we have pennies you can borrow. In many cases, a business will sponsor the cost of these items as well as the team registration fee. It is the team's responsibility to solicit this sponsorship, if desired. Another option is to have a company sponsor half the costs associated and the team members pay the other half.
Each game will have 1 referee and 1 scorekeeper. An $10 fee per team is required prior to the start of each game. For Men's Premier games, we provide two referees and a scorekeeper, but referee fees cost $13 per game.
What is the cancellation policy at SoccerZone South Austin?
A $150 deposit is required at the time of registration and is non-refundable. In the event you need to cancel your team's registration, we will issue you a credit to be used for another session as long as we have a minimum 7-day notice, less a $20 processing fee. If you cancel within 7 days of the session's first scheduled game and you do not find a team to fill your slot, then there will be no credit issued and your deposit is forfeited. A cancellation notice is required and can be dropped off at the facility, emailed, or faxed.
The balance of your team's registration fee and the Team Roster/Waiver Form is due on or before the second scheduled game of the desired session. If it is not paid in full, the team is not allowed to play and the roster is frozen for a 5 day period, i.e. no player may join another team.
What are the age requirements to play on a particular league?

Does the clock ever stop?
It does not stop during regular play. The only time the clock will stop is if the referee stops it for an injury that may need medical assistance or for a stoppage in the last minute of a game.
