Happy New Year
“The TMSL current plan is to start the season on Jan 24, 2021 as was previously communicated. The participation of teams in all divisions have been very good. The COVID-19 pandemic and its weight on the city /county decision on the field opening and also the referees availability are still unknown. The TMSL board will extend the team registration deadline and start of the season dates, if necessary, to align with the soccer fields and referees availability. “
Team Registration deadline: Friday 5/10 (The Shop hours 4-6pm) 3130 E Fort Lowell Rd (Must have 11 players registered)
Divisions: Open, D1, D2, O40, O50, O60
If not enough teams register for division, we may combine divisions
Player registration fee: $60
Expected start date: 5/21
Season duration: 10 games (dependent on fields and referees availability)
Games days & times: Tues or Thurs, 6:30pm or 8:15pm
Games will be at Kino complex or city/county fields
For help setting up a new team or if you have any questions, contact a board member or email tmslsoccer@gmail.com
8/24 schedule has been posted.
The TMSL board has decided to begin the end of the season tournament on 16 April due to continued challenges getting referees and fields because of youth tournaments and games on Sundays. Based on these issues, there is only one weekend available for games in May, and playing one makeup game will not change the standings. Because O40 and O60 only have 4 teams, their tournament will begin on 23 April. We will use the same format as in the past, with the top teams seeded (for example 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th place) and a draw to determine who they play in the first round. If a division has an odd number of teams, the bye will also be drawn. The schedule should be posted soon after the drawing.
We will hold the draw at 6 pm on Thursday, 6 April at Trident Grill III at 2910 N. Swan Road. Players and captains are welcome to attend.
Player Passes
Remember to turn in all player passes to referees at each post-season tournament game.
If your team is not participating in the tournament, please turn in all passes to the TMSL office as soon as possible.
Failure to turn in all passes will hinder registration for future seasons.
The TMSL Board is sad to announce the loss of a long-time player in our league, Vimal “Fiji” Kuberan, who passed away last week. For those interested, his celebration of life is Friday, 15 December, 10AM at the Northwest Community Friends Church, 5950 N La Canada Dr. For those of us who played with or against Fiji, he was a great person and player, and we will miss him. Thanks to those teams that held a minute of silence at their games Sunday.
Thanks, Marty
