About Us
For over 34 years the Delphos Soccer Association (DSA) has been providing a competitive soccer program for the Delphos, Ohio area. Soccer is a great way to introduce children to sports and team play. DSA emphasizes teaching the fundamentals of soccer and, in the recreational program, ensures each child plays at least one half of each game. DSA's recreational outdoor program is designed to develop and challenge players, but most of all, allow them to have fun. DSA is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run organization committed to providing our community with a low cost, high quality soccer program.
Team Organization
DSA strives to balance teams. Age and gender balancing is done to the best of our abilities while still maintaining that siblings play on the same teams. The DSA will do our best to accommodate other special requests for same team but no guarantees can be made.
Schedule
The season begins with practices around the 1st week of August, with games beginning on Soccer Sunday. Soccer Sunday is usually the third Sunday of August. This is a fun filled day of soccer, assorted games, team and player photos and great food. Watch this website or our Facebook page for more info to come.
