Announcements (April 2008)

GRAND MASTERS DIVISION: We have decided to add a 5th Division to the League commencing this season, entitled the "Grand Masters"; which is designed primarily for players over fifty and modeled after a very successful program that has been underway on the west coast for a number of years. It is the result of a careful study which revealed that we are all (hopefully) getting older. That presented a need to offer a new Division where
skill is more of a factor than speed and endurance.

Rob Adams is the Grand Masters Division Coordinator and has been actively organizing the program over the winter months.The Grand Masters Division will play all of its games on fields reserved at the Latham Soccer Complex. Questions regarding the program, interested players and recommendations regarding persons who may be interested in playing should be directed to:

robadams@nysbar.com or call Rob at 518 339 9050
