The United Select Soccer Association is a competitive soccer club supported by Dynamo Soccer. USSA plays traveling teams in the southern suburban area.

Tournament Schedule and  Rules

The pools for the tournament are randomly drawn. Since Dynamo is a recreational league we do not not track wins and loses during the regular season. Therefore teams are not seeded by best or worst records but by luck of the draw.

The goal keeper may be replaced at any time with any player that ended the game on the field. 

Sudden victory overtime will occur if the score remains tied after the fifth round of penalty kicks.

This process continues until a winner is achieved.
