Sixteen year old Sydney Aichs was tragically killed this past Friday May 9th in an automobile accident on the way to school. Sydney, who wore jersey number 11 on the U19 MonU Flames, also played soccer at Albermare High School. Our heart felt sympathies go out to her family.
New 6 V 6 Teams for High School Ages
Based upon input from numerous youth soccer clubs in the Washington Metro area, the ODSL Board has decided to conduct a six-a-side pilot program for high school aged teams for the Fall 2008 season. For a variety of reasons, many teams of this age find it difficult to field an entire roster for eleven-a-side competitive play. This often leaves a reasonable core of players from these teams without the opportunity to play.

Sportsmanship Expectations
The Old Dominion Soccer League has certain expectations of exemplary sportsmanship on the part of the teams, players, coaches, volunteers, and parents participating in the league. The soccer skills that we teach our players will serve many of them well into adulthood. In addition, all our players will benefit through-out their lives by what we teach them about sportsmanship, respect for their opponent, respect for the officials, and dignity.
