The Iowa Soccer League (ISL) is the competitive travel league sanctioned by Iowa Soccer. SESA competes in the ISL at all u10-u19 levels. The league is comprised of other area clubs. At the Academy and u11/12 level, games are played on specified "play dates" and locations in the "East" division. This is done to minimize travel and make the league and programs more efficient. All other teams then compete on varying dates and locations during their season. Our teams average 4 ISL games each season. Most locations are within 1.5 hours of Burlington, as well as home games played in Burlington.

In additional to the ISL, u9/10 age teams will play a combination of in house home league games, club friendlies, & other league games. U11/12 age teams should expect 2-4 ISL games and a combination of club friendlies, in house games, and other league games. U13+ should expect mostly if not all games to be ISL, with possible club friendlies or in house league games added when beneficial.

Teams should expect to play an average of 4-8 league games in the fall and spring seasons, and a total of 12-16 games between league and tournament opportunities.
