Wisconsin Soccer Central

The team lineups are set for the Wisconsin Soccer Leagues 2015-16 season.

Eight teams will contest the Major Division, all of which played in the league last season. The Madison Fire, who finished 8-7-4 and fifth in the 10-team division in their first Majors season, and SC Waukesha Blue (4-14-1) are not returning.

The season is tentatively scheduled to start Sept. 10, with the final matches of the fall set for Nov. 8.

The First Division has grown by three teams from last season and will feature a whopping 19 sides. Midwest Orthopedic and Riverwest Hops FC are new teams, while SB United and the Milwaukee Serbians are returning to WSL play after one-year absences. SC Waukesha will field just one team in the leagues this season.

The latest draft schedule has the opening First Division game Sept. 11, with the fall portion of the season set to conclude Nov. 15. The league has put together a full season schedule, with the spring matches from April 10 to June 26.
