Welcome to the TASL website
We hope you like the new design and layout. We are planning to incorporate all the great things going on the league here. If you have any suggestions or ideas for our home on the internet please e-mail Phil TorrettoJuly 22, 2010 - Summer 7v7 Over, Fall Season Right Around the Corner
The Summer 7v7 season concluded tonight and I think a good time was had by all teams. Thanks to everybody who played and made the summer season a successful one. Now it’s time to start planning and getting ready for the Fall Season. Team registration is August 3rd at 7PM at 1821 Alcott Place Tracy CA (Olivia’s house). Team managers should plan to have their player waiver forms and player fees submitted on that date. A mimimum of 11 players will be required to roster your team. Individual player that are looking for a team to play on should contact our registrar Tina Kuhlmann.Also, we are going to try something a little difference this season with regard to player registration and player passes. The difference is, we are not going to have player passes this season. (No more collecting DL's and pictures) This is being done to save time and effort for our registrar, referees and you as managers. What we are going to do is utilize an official team roster and the players’ drivers licenses (or official ID). Each player will still be required to fill out a TASL Waiver and pay the fee as usual, but we will also have each player put the 1st 4 digits of their Driver license on the Registration form as well. I will be updating the Player Waiver form to include a space for each player to put the 1st 4 digit of their drivers license, however if you have already downloaded the form please ask your players to include the 1st digits of the licence somewhere on the form. Once the player waiver and fee has been received and recorded by the registrar, that player will be placed that teams official roster. In each managers packet will be copies of the official roster that you will turn into the referees with the game card each game. The referee will review the official roster before the game and may ask to see the ID of players that are listed on the official rosters if there are questions of a players eligibility. This means that it will be the responsibility of each player to be sure to bring their Drivers license to each game.
This is very similar to how many tournaments are run and how many other adult leagues operate. It seems to work for them and alleviates a lot of effort for everybody. We are going to give this a try for the fall season and it obviously puts a lot of trust in you as managers. We are trusting that you will not attempt to bring in non-rostered players. Our bylaws are very clear that playing with non-rostered players is not allowed and anybody caught allowing non-rostered players to play will face disciplinary action.
Finally, many are concerned and asking where we will be playing this upcoming Fall season. The honest answer is: we don’t know yet. I have been in contact several times this summer with TUSD regarding West High and they are not going to make a decision on whether to grant our Use Application until August. What I can tell you is that we have use permits submitted to TUSD for West High, Hirsch Elementary and Bohn Elementary. Outside of those schools, we are going to inquire with Jefferson School District about Traina and with the City about the Old Tracy Ball Park. With the Summer season now over, our only priority is to secure the best fields possible. We’ll keep you posted.
