Outdoor Soccer

No grass stains, no glory. No sweat, no story.

The CSSC offers a wide variety of recreational, co-ed Outdoor Soccer Leagues for adults in Calgary. There are various roster sizes to choose from, with most games being played on fields shorter than a full-sized pitch. This means you get faster-paced games, can get more players involved in the action, and it's easier to recruit a team.

After your game, meet up with your teammates and other players to enjoy exclusive food and drink specials at one of the CSSC's many Sponsor Bars around Calgary.

6 vs. 6 - Open - Masters

Are you 40+? Our Masters format is built for people 40 years of age or older! Games are played 6 vs. 6 with no specific gender requirements.

Divisions are based on the experience and skills of a team - not on their competitive behaviour! No matter what skill level you register for, all players are expected to play with a 'fun-first, winning-second' attitude.

Please note that the below divisions may not be offered every season or day. If you have any questions about the different skill levels or where to place yourself, just call us!

Recreational

This division is for teams who are newer to the sport, or teams that consist of a mix of experienced and inexperienced players. Some players may still be learning the rules of Soccer, meaning the flow of the game will not always be natural. If the majority of players are experienced and skilled, then the team should move up to a higher level if available.

Recreational Plus

This division is for teams with mainly experienced Soccer players. The flow of the game will be quicker than the Recreational division as there will be fewer stoppages and rule clarifications. Players can dribble, pass, and shoot with accuracy and the team is looking for more of a challenge than the Recreational level. Not all players in this division are highly skilled, but players are experienced and knowledgeable in the sport.
