Welcome to the Texarkana Soccer
Association (TSA) website. It is our goal to keep the soccer fans of this area informed and involved with this wonderful program available to
our youth. TSA is a 501c3 non-profit, volunteer
based organization. We welcome any suggestions you may have to make our
association even better, and we are always looking for volunteers. TSA
is a member of the Arkansas State Soccer Association (ASSA)
and the United States Youth Soccer Association (USYSA).

Fall
Season: TSA's primary
season is the Fall season which begins after Labor Day and
ends before Thanksgiving. The registration period runs
through the month of July. The Fall season is
small-sided with no goalkeepers for U6 (3v3) through U8
(4v4). U10 plays 7v7 with a goalkeeper. U12
plays 9v9 with a goalkeeper. U14 and U18 play 7v7 to 11v11 depending on the number
of registered players. All field sizes are adjusted to
appropriate dimensions for the age and number of players.
For more detailed information, please see the official TSA
Rule Book
Spring
Season: TSA also has a Spring
season which has a few games before Easter and a few
games after Easter (6 games total). The registration
period runs through the end of January. The Spring
season has evolved into a small-sided season for all age
groups (up to U15). Due to High School Soccer, there
is not a U18 division in the Spring.
Adult
Seasons:
TSA has recently added an adult soccer league for the 18 and
over players. This league is Co-Ed and geared for the
recreational player. All skill levels are represented
from beginner, including many of the
youth coaches, to past college players. The adult league will have 3 seasons;
Fall, Spring, and Summer. The Fall and Spring seasons
will coincide with the youth seasons while the Summer season
will go through June and July.
Summer
Camp:
The John Ramshaw's UK Soccer Camp in the summer is one of
the best opportunities for players of all abilities to improve. The
multiple camp offerings provide each player with experienced
coaching to learn and build on both fundamentals and
tactics. The staff of professional coaches from
England, led by John Ramshaw, have been coming to Texarkana
to give these camps for over 20 years. John has held an "A"
level coaching license since 1980. The Texarkana
area is fortunate to have such a high level of coaching
available to those who want to be better soccer players
(including beginners and those who have never played
before).
