2023 Fall League
September 9 – November 5, 2023
2022 Fall Outdoor Soccer Season (Results)
2023 Spring Outdoor Soccer Season (Results)
Entering season #5, we are excited to continue the growth of our outdoor leagues by offering another player development filled Fall League season. Our mantra remains “Development over winning” and it is our expectation that when your club joins our league, that they too have a similar mindset. If winning is your sole purpose to joining our league, then we will decline your application or at the end of the season, not ask your club to return. There are a handful of other leagues in the DC, MD, VA area that you can join where winning is a priority, but not the MDSL. As a league when you join us, we expect that you will be teaching the kids how to play the right way and to acknowledge the fact that they are just kids and will make mistakes.
