History

The MARS-League, initially known as BDF Youth League I, was formed after an initial qualification round in which teams played a full season against other youth teams with the champions placed in the MARS-League. Those champions were 1. SFC New Canaan YoungStars, Ally's Accademicals, Magic Academy, Mavericks, Mini Mussen, Mladi Udarniki, Seismic Waves and SmartHotspur Boys. The initial league was dominated by English speaking teams with three from England and two from the USA. In season 3 England was especially ubiquitous in the league as they were represented by five clubs!

After an intense first season in which Mavericks did not clinch the league until the final game with an 8-0 romp of Mladi Udarniki, the German club was honored as the league was named after them. The league became the RM-League, short for Remember the Mavericks. Magic Academy then broke Mavericks' record with two titles of their own and the league was renamed to the MARS-League.

Many fans also enjoy tracking the league's top scorer as all champions have also had a player win the Golden Boot. All Golden Boot winners oddly enough have scored either 8 or 15 goals. In an odd occurrence season 3 had joint Golden Boot winners, one from the champions Magic Academy and the other from the relegated SmartHotspur Boys. The MARS-League not only features a heated race for the league, but also the suspense of surviving relegation. Many fans breathe sighs of relief after their club reaches the 15 point mark as history shows that no team has been relegated with 15 or more points.
