U20 & U23 MENS & WOMENS HOMEPAGE

 

MID-ATLANTIC SUMMER SHOWCASE LEAGUE 

2008 SUMMER SEASON

for U17-U20 & U23 MENS & WOMENS TEAMS

 

 

Highly Competitive!

   Perfect Fit for Conditioning and Developing the College-Bound athlete!

      Allows premier youth clubs to take their programs to the next level!     

         Qualifies teams for USASA Regional and National Cups!

            Recognized as one of the top U23 regional leagues in the country!

               And still very Cost-Effective!

 

U17 through U20 teams find this an excellent summer of preparation for College Showcases or cracking that College Varsity starting line-up.

MSSL's structure is geared to the transition player, --- players leaving their developmental youth club, playing in college programs, preparing to enter the ranks of adult and pro leagues.

MSSL will provide a realistic schedule of games, at reasonable cost, while maintaining an excellent competitive level.

Opening League Date:  Sunday June 1

Final League Date:  Sunday July 27

Number of Regular Season Games:  Typically 10-15

Games will be primarily scheduled for Sunday afternoons on June 1, 8, 15, 22 & 29; July 6, 13, 20 & 27. Games may be shifted to Saturdays as team preferences allow.

 

Teams are anticipated to play two seventy-minute games most Sundays, with an occasional ninety minute single game. Men's teams typically participate on 6-7 of the listed dates, Women's teams about 5-6, although teams can have games scheduled every weekend.

 

Fields:  MSSL will strive to create two to five separate geographically-dispersed game sites most weekends, where 4 to 12 teams may participate.

 

Refs:  MSSL expects to assign an experienced three-man system for each game. League Referee Assignor is Bob Mykulak (bobmykulak@yahoo.com)

 

League structure:  Teams will primarily play within their division (U20 & U23, although crossovers with other divisions will occur to maintain fresh competition throughout the summer).

 

Standings:  All game scores will be reported. Standings will be based upon games within the Division. Overall record, as well as Goals Scored and Goals Allowed will also be reported on this website. Top teams play off at the end of the summer.

 

Awards:  MSSL CUP 2008 will be awarded to the winner of a playoff held on Sunday July 20.

Procedures for MSSL Cup:

+ Teams play their regular season scheduled games

+ Rosters are frozen as of July 4 for MSSL Cup purposes

+ Teams declare whether they want to be considered for the U20 Mens or the U23 Mens or

        the U23 Womens MSSL Cup by July 10

+ Among the declarants, six teams are picked in each division. Top four point totals (3 for win, 1

        for tie) after games of July 13 qualify, plus two additional "Commissioner's Picks" (allowing

        some discretion to include teams that showed well in fewer games, or against

        tougher/older competition, etc.)

+ U20 MSSL Cup participants can utilize up to three overage players that were on their roster as

        of July 4 (unlike the the U20 Regional Cup which permits NO overage players)

+ No overage players allowed for the U23 MSSL Cup

+ Teams are divided into three-team groups and play two group games. Winners of the two

        groups meet in a final.

 

Rosters:  Up to 30 players per team; 18 can be listed for any one game.

 

Ages:  For 2008, qualifying players must be born on or after August 1, 1984, same as the cutoff date for U23 National Cup competition.

 

Carding:  MSSL is a fully-registered regional league with USASA, the national governing body for mens amateur soccer. While there are administrative costs in being properly registered and sanctioned, teams and players will also be able to participate in other leagues, tournaments and amateur national championships year-round, in addition to their participation in MSSL.

 

Scheduling Conflicts:  All scheduling agreements must be emailed by BOTH teams to bohdan@mssl.org.  All disputes, conflicts, etc. must be emailed to the same address where they will be quickly resolved.  MSSL Games Commissioner has final word on all disputed items, and both teams must abide by decision.

 

Cost:   $575 for MSSL Fees which includes cost of league registration with USASA;  teams must also card players ($15 each) and register the team with USASA ($125);  teams split cost of referees and assignor for each game, as well as modest facility costs at site games, while home team is responsible for field at single games. 

 

Sponsors:  Being sought for Trophy Awards, and for possible playoff weekend.

 

Deadline Date for Applications:   May 1, 2008

 

National & Regional Cups:  MSSL teams can declare for USASA U23 Regional Cup competition through MSSL. Teams must declare and submit payment of $150 by no later than May 30, 2008. A playoff will be conducted (within the context of the MSSL league schedule) to determine MSSL representatives to the Regionals held on July 12-13. Last year MSSL sent seven of the 16 teams qualifying for the U23 Mens Regional Finals; MSSL also sent four teams to the U23 Womens Regional Finals, and placed a Finalist. The U23 Regional Champion proceeds to the National Final Four in early August. There is also a U20 Regional competition on July 19-20; there is no national competition in this age group, but starting in 2008 the Region One U20 Champion will play the Region Two (Midwest) Champion.
