Dear Members:

As you know, on April 15, 2020, MSYSA suspended all of our soccer activities*, all MSYSA sanctioned tournaments, and all MSYSA affiliated activities through  May 14, 2020 .

*MSYSA affiliated activities’ includes scheduled games, team practice/training sessions, or sponsored activities that are under the direct supervision of a team official; or sanctioned local or national tournaments as a member of a contestant team (e.g., any activity that MSYSA sanctions and insures).

The current May 15, 2020 return-to-play date, and MSYSA’s June 13, 2020 Official Try-Out Start Date, will be addressed and reviewed by MSYSA on or around April 27, 2020. MSYSA anticipates communicating decisions at some point next week.

Our next teleconference (Zoom) update will occur with club and league representatives on  Friday, May 1 , 2020 at 4:00 pm . A separate email communication will be disseminated to club and league representatives with the call-in number and meeting ID.  Please note: This call is limited to club & league representatives only.  In the interim, please review our FAQs on our website   which have been updated as of April 15, 2020.

Our priority continues to be the safety and well-being of our players, team officials and referees. We know there are many players and team officials anxious to get back to the soccer fields. We are mindful that some will be hesitant to participate or travel, even after restrictions are eased or lifted. Please continue to do your part in adhering to Governor Whitmer’s Executive Orders, such as ‘Stay Home, Stay Safe’ and continue to follow social distancing guidelines as recommended by the CDC.

Please continue to review our website, email communications, and social media platforms for updates.

Sincerely,

Thomas Faro
Executive Director
