5BFC League Play is structured to foster a well balanced and healthy competitive environment, enabled by our unique approach to setting rosters through a live draft. Our leagues are 7 vs 7 with a GK and feature between 4 and 6 teams depending on the season. The spirit of sportsmanship and fair play remains at the core of our ethos.
Unlike pickup games, 5BFC League Play offers a consistent roster and schedule, allowing you to connect with the same group of teammates week after week. This consistency not only enhances the competitive dynamic of the games but fosters a deeper sense of connection.
Seasons run either 5 weeks (‘Sprint’) or 9 weeks (Regular) and feature 75+ minute games, various individual and team awards, and frequent banter in the group chat & on the field. You wont find another league like it anywhere in the city. -
