Welcome to The Elite 8.
Vermont’s Premier Adult Soccer League!
Vermont's favorite, whistle to whistle, play hard, have fun, leave it all on the field, men’s soccer league!
Founded in 2017, The Elite 8 Soccer League offers the most competitive adult league play in Northern Vermont, and has created a community for players looking to leave it all on the field.
Our small-sided format is played on u12 sized fields and offers 4 sessions (~44 weeks annually) of fast-paced, high energy soccer with players who bring quality competition, week in and week out.
Each session closes with a seeded tournament, tons of prizes, one team lifting the trophy, and an end-of-session apres party at the local watering hole.
The Elite 8 is proudly sanctioned by the VSSA & USASA
