GSSL Mission

The mission of the Greater Seattle Soccer League is to promote adult team soccer play  by  providing an enjoyable and competitive playing experience at all skill levels with safety, schedule reliability, quality refereeing, and professional league management.

About the GSSL

The GSSL is Washington's leading non-profit adult outdoor soccer league, serving Seattle and all of the greater Seattle area.

More than 250 teams play nearly 3,500 matches each year. The GSSL offers various levels of competition for Open (all-ages), Over-30, Open MOD, Over-40, Over-50, Over-55, Over-60, and Over-65 divisions.

We offer four league sessions: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall, as well as tournaments for teams to compete in year-round. The league plays according to FIFA law, with the exceptions of unlimited substitutions and slide-tackle restrictions in the older age groups. We also have slide tackle and reckless play from behind restrictions in the Open MOD and O-50+ divisions.

The league features three, full-time, professional staff members, as well as one part-time member. In addition to this, the GSSL hires referees and manages them directly, as well as works one-on-one with them as needed. The GSSL is governed by a Board of Directors who are elected by the member teams, meaning members have direct control over league affairs.
