PARENTS CORNER - More coming soon!
MASL would like to welcome you to the beautiful game of Soccer! On this page we will supply you with information regarding how MASL is dedicated to Player Safety, what type of Equipment you will need for the season and provide a link to our FAQ page for answers to questions.
Recreational Team Selection & Coaches
All MASL Teams formations start with returning licensed coaches picking-up to four players from the previous Fall season as outlined in section 4.2 of Manteca Area Soccer League procedures. The rest of the team(s) are then selected via a popcorn format to fill the remainder of the team's roster. In the case where no volunteer coach has been assigned to a team and/or does not yet meet the licensing requirement, that team will be entirely rostered with popcorned players. Coaches' player requests are for Fall Season ONLY and are not for our Spring Season.
What Equipment Players Need:
All players will need:
- Soccer Cleats
- Shin Guards
- Soccer Ball [see chart below for ball sizes]
- Keeper Gloves [If your child is playing keeper]
If this is your child's first time playing, we recommend purchasing entry level equipment. When purchasing cleats try varied brands in your price range. Treat them like shoes and make your purchasing decision based on comfort in your price range. Check-out the buying guides provided by Dick's Sporting Goods to learn more about choices. If you have any questions about what gear to purchase we are here to help.
PLAYER SAFTEY
SAFE SPORT EDUCATION
Manteca Area Soccer League takes your child's safety extremely serious. All MASL Volunteer Coaches, The Team Parent (Manager), and Board Members are compelled to have completed "Safe Sport Training", Be Fingerprinted, have passed two separate background checks, and taken "Introduction to Sports Safety" through US Club Learning Center. For an overview of what Safe Sport is watch the Players Health Video.
