Providing fun for 20 years

We are an open adult recreational 11v11 soccer league for men over 30 and women over 21. A unique league that combines the best elements of organized sports leagues and pick up soccer.

Schedule

We host 3 seasons:


•Spring (Jan - May)

•Summer (Jun - Aug)

• Fall (Sept - Dec)

Due to field availability, EBOTS has had to be flexible with our game times. We currently hold 3 games Saturday mornings between 8:00 am and 1:00 pm.

Code of Conduct

Our league prioritizes fun over competition. We realize that EBOTS might not be the best fit for every player. Each EBOTS member is asked to abide by these guidelines so that we, as a league, can ensure a positive playing experience for all.


How it works

EBOTS is currently comprised of seven teams of approximately 18 players each. We play year round with three consecutive seasons, with three games being held on Saturday mornings.

Confirm availability

Leading up to each new season, our registration manager will email all waitlist players to verify if they are still interested.


Add players

Players are added to the league in the order in which they joined the waitlist. The number of open spots vary from season to season.

Notify waitlist

Once the open spots are filled, the remaining waitlist players will be notified, and they will have the chance to remain on the waitlist, and to join the following season.

Injuries

If there are injuries during the season, we may add a wait-lister to a roster mid-season to take the place of the injured player.

Susan

Since 2004

"I’ve played 18 years in EBOTS… minus one year for a torn ACL (2019) and one for the pandemic (2020). Tooooooo many memories to share, I’d have to put them into categories (cringe-worthy injuries, favorite quotes, interesting draft strategies etc)."

Liz

Since 2010

"Best memories from EBOTS? Scoring a goal on Peter when he was keeper for the other team was definitely a highlight 😂 Also, post games at Cato's and all the friends and lasting friendships throughout the years."

Melissa

From 2002-2008

"I was at the first practice and at the first meeting to incorporate. Remember when the Piedmont Police made us leave the lower Piedmont field!?"

Linda

Since 2002

"YAY! I LOVE EBOTS!"

Kevin

From 2003-2013

"I was an original member and played off and on for 10ish years. The first field we played on was the softball field at Piedmont HS!"

Ethan

Since 2010

“I’ve played in EBOTS for 12 years running. Grateful for all the friends I've made along the way and how soccer has made me a happier human”

Jeff

Since 2012

"“My first game was on June 30, 2012. It was a bittersweet day as it marked my union with EBOTS, but also the day Katie Holmes divorced Tom Cruise.”

Greg

Since 2007

"I've played in EBOTS for 6 years and counting, and I love the league's focus on comradery and putting fun and safety over competitiveness while still maintaining a decent level of quality!"

Maissa

Since 2009

"I started playing in EBOTS in 2009 a few months after having my first child! I’ve continued playing on and off with this league since then."

Jonas

Since 2010

“23 years with EBOTS, I think. Started in Berkeley on the grass at lower Ohlone Park and then the first “championship” game was on the basketball courts at Grove Park.”

Joey

Since 2015

"I've been in and out of many leagues in the Bay. EBOTS is the only one I've stayed in consistently since I joined 8 years ago. I feel at ease, and can just enjoy playing the game I love. I look forward to it every single week. A weekend without EBOTS feels incomplete."

Brian

Since 2003

"I’ve been in EBOTS since the beginning! I have a NON-memory to share…of the time I got a concussion."

Maneesha

Since 2010

“I’ve been with EBOTS for 8 years. EBOTS has been such a great experience for me and rekindled my love for soccer after an almost 20 year hiatus of not playing.”

Ericka

Since 2010

"I always say that EBOTS Saturdays are my favorite part of the week…and I mean it. This league is so special and I am so happy it’s still humming along and that I get to be a part of it."

Laura

Since 2015

"Despite my deep hatred of running, Ruben convinced me to join EBOTS in May 2015. I've been learning the game by chasing forwards and the ball ever since (minus a year and half mom break)!"

Gani

Since 2004

"I started playing when it was back at Piedmont High School (and I was just over 30 years old)!"
