The SASL email list is a closed list for news and announcements -- only
I can post to it -- so it will be low in traffic, perhaps only two or three emails a week.
The list is currently hosted by Derby.org. The list has it's own informational Web page HERE.
The list currently contains at least two representatives from every SASL Over-30 and Over-40 team. This is mandatory
so that they can receive important information quickly. Of course, many teams have multiple members of their team
on their list -- players and officials, and even some players' wives! Some teams are extremely progressive, with
practically their entire squad on the list!
The list also contains certified Connecticut State Referee Association referees, League officials and Connecticut
State Soccer Association representatives. There is a fantastic diversity amongst the subscribers and I often think
that one day the list might expand into a more generalised Connecticut soccer list!
The main email everyone looks forward to during the season is when I update the SASL Website at saslsoccer.com with scores
and standings on Sunday evenings! That email isn't just to inform everyone that the results are on the Website,
but it also gives a quick synopsis of how all the games went.
Another main purpose of the list is to inform everyone, team managers in particular, when the SASL Website has
been updated in some significant way, for example, new or updated downloads, or perhaps a new or updated page that
everyone should visit for more details.
Other things posted are usually news items about the SASL and perhaps some news from the world of soccer in general
that may be pertinent to the SASL, such as important rule changes and experiments FIFA may be considering. I have
inside contacts at several institutions and therefore I may hear news before most of you which I would feel priveleged
to pass along.
Before the SASL Website and SASL email List it seemed only SASL team managers had any idea what was going on during
the season. Players, officials and other soccer people in Connecticut now thoroughly enjoy getting timely news
and updates about the SASL on a per week basis.
Cheers,
- Garry Archer (SASL Executive Board)
