The MNSA Board members hope you are doing well and staying safe during these unprecedented times. Like you, we are very much looking forward to seeing the children of our community back on the soccer fields as soon as we are able to do so safely. The following provides an update regarding the various soccer programs MNSA will be providing over the next year.

Spring Travel Soccer

Spring soccer for our Travel teams remains on hold as MNSA and Central League Soccer continue to follow the directions and guidelines set forth by EPYSA, our state governing body. Likewise, as you are probably aware, teams are not permitted to practice or gather on any of our school and Township fields - at this point, all fields will remain closed.

Travel Soccer Tryouts

Tryouts for the 2020 - 2021 Travel soccer season will be on a team-by-team basis once we are permitted to return to the soccer fields.

Travel Soccer Registration

We are working to open the registration system within the next week or so. As in past years, registration for Travel Soccer will continue to follow a two-step process. The first step is for players to register for tryouts. It is critical that all interested players register as soon as possible so that we can determine accurately the number of players and teams that will participate in the upcoming season. No payment is required to complete this first step of the registration process.

The second step of the registration process will be for each player to accept an offer to join one of our Travel teams, and submit payment at that time. This second step will take place in July/August.

Petite, Micro and Intramural Soccer Registration

Registration for Petite, Micro and Intramural Soccer will be available in early May. As in past years, we expect to offer an early bird discount registration fee during the months of May and June.

Volunteer Opportunities -- MNSA Board

The MNSA Board is comprised of 20 positions that are filled by volunteers from our community. Currently, most of our Board members do not have children participating in the MNSA programs, or have children that are close to ageing out of our programs. Now more than ever, volunteers are needed, especially those with young children playing soccer. Please consider joining our MNSA family of volunteers, and becoming an integral part of a wonderful organization that has been serving the children of our community for over forty years.

Hardships

We understand the financial impact the Coronavirus has on the community. Therefore, a subset of the MNSA Board members will review, on a case by case situation, any hardship requests submitted to MNSA related to registration fees.

Thank you for your continued support of MNSA.
