FO5SL: Welcome

Welcome to the website for the Fairfax Over-50 Soccer League (FO5SL). 

That's FO5SL, not FOSSIL.

We are based in northern Virginia and are dedicated to providing the opportunity to play the beautiful game to players over the age of 50.

We strive to play a competitively balanced game with sufficient player restraint that allows us all to go to work the next morning.

We play full-field 11 v 11 with paid licensed referees. 

Currently, we have just grown from 4 teams to 5 teams and we are still growing!

***** UPDATE ***** we have a 6th Team joining FO5SL for the Spring 2013 Season!!

We have permits to use Fairfax County fields. During the Spring 2013 permit season, we will schedule 3 games per week at 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm: Mondays at Arrowbrook Park in Herndon and 9:00 pm - 11:00 pm Wednesdays and Fridays at Centreville High School, in Clifton.  These are fields with an artificial surface and lighting for night games.

Player dues, which are paid to the league, are determined prior to the beginning of each county permit season.  For the current Spring season (12 games) these dues are about $55 per player.  New players are required to buy a team jersey at a cost of $20. This is subject to change as costs change.

Check the menu on the left to see updated league calendars, scores, standings, and photos, and additional information.

Here is a video link from one of our members that he feels captures his experience with us, but the guys in the video are a lot older....http://youtu.be/dAB6o_7hQBE

Spring 2013 Season

Ah, the grass is green…somewhere.  The turf is available and that’s all we want.

The warmer weather will bring back the snow birds to rejoin the Polar Bear toughs who played with us during the winter through low temps and wind and…what about that relatively nice warm night that suddenly dropped 10 degrees and rained buckets from the first whistle until we hit the parking lot on the way out?  Once you are wet, you may as well finish the game!

We are expanding to schedule a 6^th team for this Spring season.

The Spring season will run from March through July.  We will have 3 games per week.

Mondays are at Arrowbrook Park in Herndon at 8pm, Wednesdays and Fridays will be at Centreville High School.  The CHS games will initially start at 9pm.  If possible we will try to move the start time to earlier in the evening.

The schedule is up, members have full access on the left.

One of our own, Jalal Mapar, went to the Soccer in Sun King Cup in Las Vegas with team Karoush to play in the over 48 division.  The team did very well, and, in fact won the division.  Jalal seems to be slightly pleased.  See if you can spot him in the photo... ;)  Well done Jalal. No, sorry, there is no endorsement deal.
