Ottawa Carleton Soccer League

Please take a look at our Rescheduling Policy for the 2026 Season!

The OCSL is governed by the Ontario Soccer operational rules, meaning repetitive forfeiting triggers disciplinary hearings for "failure to fulfill league obligations. When a team repetitively forfeits or defaults on its scheduled games, it violates its commitment as a registered organization, shifting the issue from a simple league matter to a formal "Failure to Fulfill League Obligations" misconduct charge under Ontario Soccer's provincial framework.

Why doesn't my username and password from last year work?

All data, including coaches and team managers' login details are deleted from the system at the end of the season. You must activate your team (create your account) every year.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

How do I activate my team?

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I manage two or more teams. How do I create two separate accounts/logins?

You have two options:

  1. Use two different emails, or
  2. Use the same email, but create different passwords for each team

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

How do I update my team's uniform colour(s)?

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

How do I add players to my roster?

Before you get started, you will need your official Ontario Soccer Roster. The league does not have access to these. Your club representative(s) must provide you with this. There are two ways to do this:

1. Adding each player individually

      2. Import by CSV

        _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

        I've added all my players. Why are they saying 'League Approval Needed'?

        'League Approval Needed' next to a player's name means they haven't been approved. League staff must approve each player before they are eligible to play.

        _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

        How do I get my players approved on the OCSL website?

        Once you've added your players to the OCSL website, email the following to stats@ocslonline.ca :

        The OCSL will be running a virtual New Laws Presentation on Tuesday, May 5th at 7:00pm.  This meeting is for coaches and team managers.  Here is the Meeting Link.
