TMSL Coronavurus Update

ByVasilis Andriopoulos

Hello TMSL Community!!!

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during these uncertain times.  It is time to provide another update on our plans for the league. A few days ago the board met and decided that the current season will not resume and is considered over at this time due to the pandemic.  After a long discussion it was also decided through a vote that no champion team would be declared for the season.     

With regards to the upcoming summer season, at this time we are on hold until further direction on contact sports comes from the CDC and Governor’s office.  We are aware some local or state governments are making plans to reopen the economy, and of course we are watching this closely. However, as a contact sport, the reopening of certain businesses or economies does not mean we can provide a safe platform on the field despite our great desires to do so.  Our biggest priority is to keep our players and their families healthy and safe, and with this in mind, the board feels that it is best to wait just a little bit longer.  We will continue to keep you informed of new developments as they arise.

If there is anything we can do, please let us know.  It is our full intention to bring TMSL back once it is safe to do so. 

Sincerely,

Your TMSL Board

  • Summer Schedule and Game Rules

    ByBelayneh Tafesse

    Dear Managers, Coaches, Referees and fans

    All games will be played at the Kino South complex on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 6:30p and 8:15p.  We will be playing 40 minute halves for this summer, and mandatory water breaks.
    Also Substitution will be in every dead-ball (like FIFA rule) if players have checked in at half line with AR.

    The fields listed on the TMSL schedule will be “Kino South A” and “Kino South B.” We have to use these designations because Kino will not be notifying the league about the specific fields they have been assigned each night until teams arrive at the field.  If you are scheduled these games, when you go through the gate at the south complex, ask Kino personnel which two fields are being used by TMSL. If you are scheduled to field A go to the lowest number field indicated by Kino personnel and if you are scheduled to field B go to the highest number.  For example, if gate personnel tell you TMSL is playing on Kino 3 and Kino 4, teams A should go to field 3 and teams B should go to field 4.

  • New Rules

    ByBelayneh Tafesse

    Change of rule for All Divisions:
    Effective immediately September 26, TMSL would like to modify substitution guidelines moving forward as follows so that substitutes can be made on any out-of-bounds balls:

    1. Retain current substituting guidelines: sub on own throw-in and all goal kicks.
    2. Add substituting on own corner kicks
    3. Add substituting on opponent’s corner kicks and throw-ins IF opponent substitutes first

    So, a team can substitute on their own throw-ins and corner kicks, and all goal kicks, as well as the opponent’s throw-ins and corner kicks only if the opponents substitute first.

    New rule for O50 and O60 Divisions

    NO SLIDING. Exception: “Sliding to save the ball from going out of bounds or save the goal is permitted only if the opponent player(s) is not engaged in the same play”
