OPENING DAY:
Tuesday, April 10 (U12 & U14) and Saturday, April 14 for all other TYSL participants
We will be trying out some new game schedule formatting for the U-12 and U-14 age groups this season. This is for a variety of reasons which include playing all games for the two older groups at the Eco Park. The first day of games for these (2) groups will be Tuesday, April 10 or Thursday, April 12. Teams will play in the late-afternoon/early evening. This will be the schedule for the first (3) weeks of the season (all games in April), and then we will shift back to Saturday games for the final (4) weeks of the season (all games in May).SPRING REGISTRATION 2012:

Each coach should be encouraged to attend in the interest of fairness. Players are to be divided equally by age, gender, and experience.
Under no circumstance will a player who is not registered on a team be allowed to play in a game for that team. Additionally, children who are not registered with the League must not be allowed to practice with any team until they are officially registered.

The New Mexico Youth Soccer Association fully subscribes to the US Youth Soccer KidSafe initiatives, and has established a state-wide risk management program. Each member League is required to have a Board member who is formally designated as its "risk manager." In the absence of a specific Board position so identified in its title, the League Vice President is responsible for execution of the risk management program for that League. Some of the resources for that program are consolidated here at the following links for your convenience.

The US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program (US Youth Soccer ODP) is a national program to identify and develop high-level youth players throughout the country to represent their state association, region and the United States in soccer competition. US Youth Soccer ODP teams are formed at the state association and regional levels, made up of the best players in various age groups. At the state association level, pools of players are identified in each eligible age group, brought together as a team to develop their skill through training and competition. From the state pools and subsequent teams, players are identified for regional and national pools and teams. The Young Olympians Program (YOP) is a state program to identify and develop youth players in the next age year younger than the US Youth Soccer ODP program. For additional information, contact the State Office or the Associate Technical Director.
