Fall 2009
Registration is now open for the MASL fall league,  which begins in September 2009.   Boys teams U09 through U14 and girls teams U09 through U19 may apply. Note: teams in the U11 and U12 age brackets may choose to play in the Novice (8 v 8) or Junior (11 v 11) format.  

Novice Divisions (Girls and Boys)
Teams U09 through U12 will play in an 8 v 8 format on downsized fields in accordance with USYS recommendations.  Games will be scheduled on Sunday afternoons beginning September 13, 2009 and ending November 22, 2009.  There will be 8 to 10 games.  No scores or standings are published for U09 and U10 divisions and all players in those divisions receive participation awards.  In the U11 and U12 divisions scores and standings are published and the players of the first and second place teams will receive trophies.

Junior Divisions (Girls and Boys)
Teams U11 through U14 will play 11 v 11 on full size fields.  8 to 10 games will be scheduled on Sunday afternoons September 13, 2009 and ending November 22, 2009.  The winners and second place finishers in each division will receive trophies.

Senior Girls Divisions
Girls teams U15 through U19 will be offered an abbreviated, state cup qualifying league with games to be scheduled on a cooperative and flexible basis, primarily on Sunday afternoons.  There will be a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 games played between September 13, 2009 and ending November 22, 2009.  This league is designed to provide qualifying league play for teams that might prefer to play several games in one weekend, rather than one game each week, such as teams participating in several tournaments during the season.
