Suburban Friendship League
Players born 2005-2013
Our 11U and older recreational players play in the Suburban Friendship League (“SFL”) where they face teams from other soccer clubs in Northern Virginia. Click here to learn more about the SFL. Players of all skill levels are welcome to register, as long as they are not participating on a travel team, and may only be registered on one SFL team per season.
SFL teams are coached by parent volunteers and can expect 2 practices on weekdays and 1 game on the weekend. Teams will play approximately half of their games at home and travel to their other games. GFRSC provides professional trainers once a week to SFL teams in the 11U to 14U age groups, if requested. Teams in 11U and 12U play 9v9 while teams 13U and older play 11v11.
The SFL age groups for Fall 2023/Spring 2024 are 11U (2013), 12U (2012), 13U (2011), 14U (2010), 16U (2009 and 2008) and 19U (2007, 2006, and 2005).
SFL players wear a Great Falls Reston Soccer Club jersey (with a number on the back), black shorts, and royal blue socks. Players receive pre-assigned numbers. Soccer gear can be purchased at Sterling Soccer (47100 Community Plaza #128, Sterling, VA 20164). Please do NOT purchase your jersey until you have a number provided by the club. Soccer cleats and shin guards are required. Players should bring a ball and water to each practice and game.
