Come and Play in America’s #1 O-60 Soccer CityTM
Venue: TSE Sports (Gates)
Welcome to the Forever Sporting Over-60 Northeast Invitational.
This tournament brings together players from across the Northeast for a weekend of soccer, camaraderie, and competition.
Games are 8v8 on half fields with 30-minute halves. Rules are designed to keep the games competitive and moving:
no sliding tackles, no offsides, open substitutions, and no limit on roster size.
Most of us are a little older, a little slower, and definitely more sore the next morning. That's fine. The goal is to compete, reconnect with old teammates and opponents, and enjoy a great weekend of soccer.
Hosted in Rochester, New York — America's #1 O-60 Soccer City™.
Because the drive to compete doesn't retire.
Sign up a team or join an existing team!
Note that, after 35, about 95% of people never sprint again...
We are in the 60's and beyond, and still do it regularly. That puts us somehere in the 0.1% category of the population!
Join a community of lifelong athletes who refuse to spend their later years on the sidelines. Play competitive soccer, stay fit, reconnect with old teammates, and prove that growing older doesn't mean giving up the things you love.
