ABOUT
OCSL
Orange County Soccer League is a New York women's soccer league established in 2001. when a realization dawned on a “soccer mom” that she would rather be playing than watching - but there was no where locally for women to play. Now, with a summer season having no less than six in-house competitive teams and a soccer club division, there is a place to play and over 100 women to play with!
This recreational league invites any woman age 20 and over to come and play...whether you’re stepping onto the soccer field for the 1st time or the 1,001st time. And don’t be fooled by the name...we may be in Orange County, but you need not be a resident of the county - or even of the state - in order to join..
