Jack London is a large, urban soccer league serving the children of Oakland, Alameda, and Piedmont. The rich diversity of our community provides our youth an exceptional opportunity to learn respect for others. The behavior of our players, coaches, parents, and spectators must honor what we all want our children to become.

To guide us we have the Laws of the Game, JLYSSL Rules of Play, and a Zero-Tolerance Policy that prohibits physical and verbal abuse, threats, and harassment. These rules are essential to the enjoyment of the game we love. They may be viewed by clicking below.

Coaches, parents, and players should especially note that our rules prohibit yelling at referees and opponents, entering the field at any time without the referee's permission, or playing without a valid, laminated player pass. Coaches are responsible for the behavior of everyone associated with their team: players, parents, and spectators. We rely on the entire Jack London community to ensure our rules are followed. If you see something wrong, please let us know by clicking on the Report Problem link to the left.

Robert Davis, JLYSSL Secretary

Jack London sponsors a number of Oakland teams composed of the children of Central American immigrants, in partnership with the charitable organization Crece. The league thanks the families and volunteers of the Montclair, Piedmont, and Bay Oaks soccer clubs for their generous donations of cleats and other soccer equipment to benefit the Crece teams.

NO dogs of any shape or size are allowed on ANY Jack London field.  This includes practice as well as games.  The only exception is for guide dogs. JLYSSL community we have recently seen an increase in dogs at our fields. It is a league rule that no dogs are permitted at our fields at anytime. Thank you in advance for adhering to the this policy and thanks for your cooperation.

Please check regularly as the hotline is updated as the weather changes. Please do not leave a message.

JLYSSL community, please remember that in the event of thunder or lightning, games should not be played. Safety is our number one priority.
