League Update

1.  Registration is due by December 30.  Please register by this Friday December 30 so we can get the teams put together.  You may make your league fee payment any time prior to or on the first game day, but please register online beforehand.  Please have all of your players register as soon as possible.  We will take late registration, but it will complicate team formation and scheduling.

2.  We have changed the rules to add an additional minute per half to make 25 minute running time halves with a 50 minute total game time.

3.  We are seriously considering changing the league rules to allow for an additional midfielder and create an 8 v.8 league format - 2 attack, 3 midfielders, 2 defense, 1 goalie.  The turf field we'll be playing on is only 70 yards long, but is 50 yards wide and has enough space to accommodate an additional midfielder.  This will allow for more playing time for each player as well.  Please post a comment on this post if you have any feelings one way or the other.

4.  We will begin posting Teams as they form and will indicate whether the player has registered or not.

5.  Come up with a name for your team and e-mail it to me.  Nothing derogatory, but have fun with it.

League Game Dates Updated

Game dates have been updated.  The tentative Friday date has been canceled and replaced by another Sunday date on March 25.  All games will now be played on Sundays.  See the Schedule page for the updated game dates.
