The Burlington Old Timers Soccer Club is a club for over… well, let's just say we're all beyond the age where we dream of playing for money, and are now content with playing for the sheer fun of running around a field every Sunday, chasing a ball.
Throughout this site you will see our Mascot – Lester. He has been with us since the Club was formed in 1985. Lester shows up at all Club functions and reminds us that the Club is based on the principle that “The Game” is played for fun and friendship.
The season starts off with the annual Open Registration in January. Registration is primarily online, but we do offer a one‑day "In Person" Registration at one of our local Pub Sponsors.
All members from the previous year who are in good standing and applicants on our Waiting List can register for the upcoming season. After this open period, registration is by invitation only.
The Club Registrar coordinates both the registration of members and the team draft that follows.
The Teams Draft is normally held in mid‑February at a Pub Sponsor location. Prior to the Draft, all registered players are graded and their preferred playing positions identified. The Team Conveners are isolated in a separate room and the draft picks are broadcast live on the pub screens. The goal is to create evenly balanced teams. Members can attend and watch from the comfort of the bar.
