We're glad you’re interested in learning more about the OTSL! Below is an overview of how our league operates and answers to some common questions.

The OTSL operates four seasons:

• Spring Season: March - June
• Summer O40 Only Season: June - August
• Fall Season: September - December
• Winter Season: January - March

Each season consists of 9 games (weather permitting), followed by a single-elimination tournament (Playoffs). Games are held once a week, with make-up games scheduled as needed.

At the beginning of each season, Captains review team rosters for balance and randomly draw teams to ensure fair competition. Players are ranked based on skill level at the end of each season, helping ensure balanced teams and no "stacked" squads. This approach fosters teamwork and camaraderie, as players are frequently mixed with new teammates each season.

Divisions are based on player age, with brackets for Over 20 (18), 30, 40, 50 and 60 players. Age brackets may be adjusted based on registration to ensure each division has at least six teams. The goal is to provide competitive play for everyone, from beginners to experienced players.

• Spring and Fall: Games are played on Sunday mornings, with game times running from 8:00 AM to noon. Make-up games may be scheduled on Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather.
• Summer: Games are scheduled for weekday evenings.
• Winter: Games are scheduled for Saturday mornings.

Games take place at the Hampton Roads Soccer Complex (HRSC) behind the Virginia Beach Amphitheater.

The registration fee is $125, which includes a team jersey and covers most season-related costs. Additionally, $30 from each fee is earmarked for our long-term goal of securing a permanent home for the OTSL, complete with fields, a clubhouse, and parking.

The OTSL is committed to growth and improvement. We’re actively working to acquire a permanent facility. If you have ideas or resources to help us achieve this, please reach out to a Captain or BOD member.

The OTSL is not just about soccer; it’s about building a community. We host seasonal parties, offer discounts at local soccer stores, and encourage members to get involved in league operations or volunteer opportunities. We also believe in good sportsmanship and respectful play on and off the field.

If you have questions or are ready to register, please feel free to contact the OTSL Commissioner at commish@otslvb.com or call (757) 535-1800. We look forward to seeing you on the pitch!
