The District II Recreational level involves by far the majority of the players in the district. Each year recreational teams are formed by the leagues and players are assigned randomly to the teams without the use of tryouts. All players must play at least 50% of the time throughout the season. The emphasis is placed on player development and soccer enjoyment. The use of small-sided games in the youngest age groups is encouraged in order to maximize skills development. Many leagues sponsor local recreational jamborees and fun days, which feature tournament-style of play. Recreational teams U10 and older may also participate in the CYSA-N Founders Cup.  

District II has developmental programs that are designed for those players who have a greater interest in and commitment to advancing their skills. Players for developmental teams are chosen by the use of a tryout selection process.  Developmental teams compete in playing leagues that typically involve traveling to areas outside the team's league of registration and may include participation in a number of tournaments, including the CYSA-N Association Cup. District II developmental teams play in the Delgado playing league.

District II leagues have select level programs that are designed for those players who are committed to the greatest advancement and fine-tuning of their technical and tactical skills, as well as playing at one of the highest levels possible. Players for select level teams are chosen by the use of a tryout selection process. Select teams compete in playing leagues that involve traveling to areas outside the team's league of registratin and may include participation in numerous local, state, regional, and national tournaments, including the CYSA-N State Cup.  District II select teams play in the Abronzino playing league.
