Ottawa Rec Sports

I’ve played co-ed soccer in this league for a few years now and it’s great. I really appreciate that Joel takes the time to get to know teams and place them in a division that’s appropriate for their skill level. Through getting to know the organizers, refs, and returning teams, it also creates a strong sense of community. It’s competitive, but there’s an emphasis on sportsmanship and respect. Overall, I’d recommend this league to anyone.

Best rec sports leave I've ever played in, I have recommended it to tons of friends. Super affordable, and well organized. Joel (the organizer) is extremely personable, and it's obvious that he wants his players to have a great time in a safe environment. I'm very surprised that there are any poor reviews at all. I've been playing in the league for several years, and although I have witnessed the occasional player become too competitive or unreasonably upset, management and the refs have always been quick to diffuse the situation, which makes me wonder if those reviews are based on a very specific incident.

Ive played soccer in various leagues across Ottawa and Ottawa Rec Sports has been the best league thus far. Ive been in the league for years and have got to know various teams and the league's coordinator/owner, Joel. He is a great guy who is accomodating and offers a variety of sports leagues through the winter/summer. He also organizes the best end of season parties with plenty of prizes to go around. I highly recommend this league. Great for athletes of all levels!

I have played in this league for almost 5 years. It is a very inviting league with sportsmanship and respect put first. There are multiple divisions for soccer and also different types of sports to play (I definitely recommend Multi-Sport Mondays). The competition level is definitely good. With a range of divisions it allows the upper rec players an outlet for a competitive game, with consistently good reffing, on proper fields.

Joel is an excellent league owner, always willing to assist or accommodate teams if possible. He is the kind of guy to give you the shirt off his back so he is the kind of person I would want to support when I get to play my sports.

Also, even if you hate sports, the end of year party is excellent. Each season finishes with a party where all teams mingle and Joel provides plenty of gift cards for the restaurant you're at.

A great league, could not recommend it enough. Cant wait to get back to it when safe to do so! Thanks Joel

Been playing in this league for almost 8 years and I've had a great experience. Great rec league with many teams that have played for years. So there's a really friendly atmosphere and I've met tons of great people. The owner, Joel, is super accessible and really promotes a positive atmosphere among all the teams.
