TMSL Update

ByVasilis Andriopoulos

Hello TMSL Community!

We are all deeply concerned about the current public health situation and the continued spread of COVID-19.  We want you to know that the health and safety of our stakeholders (players, referees, fans, and others) is our priority. The TMSL Board is assessing ordinance and safety recommendations of county and state health organizations on a daily basis and is following those recommendations to ensure the safety of TMSL stakeholders.  For this reason, there is still some uncertainty as to the future scheduling of Cup games and the rest of the season.  The TMSL Board will continue to monitor and assess the situation and stay informed of local and state recommendations.  Please visit the TMSL website regularly for updates. 

Please stay safe,

The TMSL Board

  • Memo – Player Registration

    Bytmsladmin

    Player Registration

    With the introduction of on-line registration and the option of presenting to the match referee either a ASSA/TMSL player pass or alternative ID, there is some confusion about what is required and when for a player to play on any given Sunday match.

    The TMSL By-laws are very clear.

    First, we play by the rules of USSF and ASSA, our National and State affiliation, respectively. These rules require a player pass for every registered player. Although team captains may choose to use the pass or an alternative ID (driver’s license, etc.) on Sunday the rules still require the creation of a player pass credential. This requires every potential player to provide to TMSL a passport quality photograph of himself. Absent a player pass, no player is eligible to play in a TMSL or State sanctioned match. There are NO exceptions.

    Second, in order to play on Sunday, the by-laws are clear – see Section V, paragraph 10 “Games – All players must be registered no later than Wednesday in order to play on Sunday”. Stated differently, you cannot register on-line on Friday and play on Sunday. You cannot play on Sunday unless your on-line or paper registration, including a photograph, is completed no later than the Wednesday prior to your desired Sunday match.

    No TMSL Board Member, or the State Registrar, has the authority to override the TMSL By-laws.

    TMSL’s Pandemic Operational Plan

    Tucson Men’s Soccer League will review with all our participants the following directives to return to play.

    Players will not be allowed to participate in the game without having on their person a face cover (mask or gator).

    Every player and team representative must wear a face cover (securely covering their nose and mouth) when a physical distance of 6 feet cannot be maintained whether on the sidelines or field.

    Players must apply their face covers for set plays or a game situation where physical distancing of 6 feet is not possible for more than a minute. Some examples are corner kicks, free kicks and throw ins.

    Everyone must continue to sanitize their hands before and after each game. No shaking of hands after a match.

    No player should be playing with any symptoms or if they have been exposed to family members that are COVID positive

    At this time we are asking teams to not invite spectators. If there are spectators they must observe social distancing of 6 feet, if this cannot be done then face coverings must be worn. Spectators cannot congregate in groups near the sidelines or players.

    Referees will wear face coverings when a physical distance of 6 feet can’t be kept during the game.

    The soccer season may be discontinued upon the State or County governing boards deciding it is unsafe to continue playing.
