OVER-30, Over-40 and Over-48 LEAGUES
-- Players looking for teams to play on
First, check to see if any there any SASL teams currently advertising for new players.
Over-30 players and players interested in the Masters League (Over-40) looking for a team should download the SASL Team Managers Contact Info, a Microsoft Word document with addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses
of all managers and their assistants of teams in the SASL.
Players interested in the Legends League (Over-48 in 2009, Over-49 in 2010 and Over-50 in 2011), there is no Team
Managers Contact Info document yet. You could contact the Masters League teams, or keep checking the Players Wanted
page.
A word on the level of competition in the SASL can be found in the Overview and Brief History of the SASL.
To see how a team currently stands see the current
season's League Standings. To see a club's history see Complete List of all Teams
in the History of the SASL.
FYI -- The SASL is not a men only league, but it is very rare to find women players in the SASL these days. The
last time was probably in the late 1980s, early 1990s. Teams may accept a woman player if she is experienced, skillful
and physically capable of playing competitive soccer with men. In fact, many of the SASL teams have midweek practices
that may have one or more women players playing with them! Contact the team of your choice for more information.
Would you like me to advertise for you on the SASL e-mail list (on average 480 recipients, including all managers
of every team)? I can put you on the list too (only I post, just informational stuff), if you want. For more information
see SASL Email List.
