| Introduction The SASL are always planning ahead for the next season. Teams are welcome to apply for our Over-30 League and Masters League (Over-40) and we started a brand-new Over-48 "Legends League" in 2009-2010 season. Any team applying to join the SASL should fill in an application form and submit it with a non-refundable $100 application fee (used towards your total fees) For questions regarding fees for a complete season -- League fees, State affiliation fees, insurance, player registration, referee and assistant referee fees -- please send email to either the SASL President and/or the SASL Corresponding Secretary for more information. The SASL's goal is to fill up divisions in each league to a maximum of 10 teams and have no more than four divisions per league. So, obviously, if a league is near it's maximum of 40 teams, it will be a matter of first come first served. The SASL Executive Board will review all applications and we reserve the right to reject any application. Applications deemed acceptable by the SASL Executive Board will be put up for election by all member clubs at the SASL Annual General Meeting prior to the next season. All new teams voted into the SASL will be placed into the lowest division in the league they have applied to join. It is the policy of the SASL to challenge those clubs to prove themselves if they thought they may be too good for the lower divisions. All of our League Champions and all of our best teams started out this way when they joined the league. |

| Over-48 League ("The Legends
League") 2010-2011 season is the 2nd year of the Over-48 Legends League. We started with nine teams in 2009-2010. In 2009-2010 we had 9 Legends League teams in the First Division. We are ALWAYS looking for more teams to enter the Over-48 Legend League upto a maximum of 40 teams in total. We expect Over-50 soccer to grow and become as popular as Over-30 soccer did in the 1980s and 1990s and as Over-40 soccer did in the late 1990s and 2000s. It is expected to start slowly in terms of competition at first, but become increasingly competitive as more players graduate from the Over-30s and Over-40s over time. The United States Amateur Soccer Association (USASA), to which the SASL is affiliated through the Connecticut State Soccer Association (CSSA), has Over-50 divisions in it's annual Veteran's Cup, a very competitive tournament. At least one SASL club has been sending an Over-50 team to the tournaments each year since 2002! Outfield players must be at least 48-years old. Goalkeepers may be 45-years old.
