The day has been set for 7/27 to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Foundation. More details are here.

We’ve (OK, Amy…) has been dealing with all kinds of glitches and nuances with posting the calendars.

Big glitch this year? Finding a way to limit the Over 40 division to only a few 38 or 39 year old players. So not a whole team-full of 38 year olds, because then the division would be Over 38 and not Over 40 (details, details).

She thinks she has got of the glitches out. Stay tuned!!

Computers are supposed to make our lives easier, right?

Well, the “computer” is still giving Amy fits at SoccerConnect.com. So, here is the various schedules as XLS sheets for now.

Open, click here
Div1-Over30, click here
Div2-Over30, click here
Div3-Over30, click here
Over 40, click here

When the full schedule actually can be uploaded in SoccerConnect, I will put deep-links to each teams’ and divisions’ master schedule. And you will be amazed and awe-struck at my wizardry!!

If you’re still unable to access your roster to the print, it’s probably because someone still hasn’t completed their registration.
Please check with your team.
The ‘print roster’ instructions are here ….

As highlighted in the fees section, the center referee gets $70 and each assistant referee gets $50. That’s $190 in total, split between the two teams at $85 a piece.

If you only have two referees when the game starts, you are not obligated to provide for the late/non-existent third referee. If the referee arrives late, you can take care of that at halftime.

Use your discretion – they do work hard, and covering the whole field is a lot of work. Especially if you are short-handed.

At the AGM of January 11, 2025, the league announced that it was formalized what had been an informal rule about hydration breaks. Starting with the 2025, any time the temperature is 85 degrees or higher, there will be a hydration break at approximately halfway between quarters. Unlike halftime, the hydration breaks will be a running clock. Please inform the referees about this change, and emphasize that it is a running clock so there is no confusion about the total game time – which remains at 90 minutes.

Erica Montessori has started a page where you can drum up players for out-of-town tournaments. Please visit Tourney Central for more information.

The decision to break up the league to “over 30” and “over 40” for 2025 will be a work in progress. We ‘get’ that.

To facilitate those necessary discussions, and for the good of the game, we will host a Slack channel. This is for any and all members — present, former and future — teams and players who need to discuss the in’s and out’s as we move toward this goal.

Please join the Slack channel. We will moderate the discussions, so please be respectful.
