DOES
YOUR FALL TEAM WANT MORE?
Texarkana Soccer Association (TSA) is
a recreational league. All of
our players are registered with the state of Arkansas (ASSA) as level one
recreational players. Registering
at this level provides insurance for all players for TSA league games,
scrimmages, and practices only.
If your Fall team is interested in participating in a
recreational tournament, here are the steps to follow along with a few
recommended tournaments.
1.
Inform the TSA Registrar that your team will need to
be changed to a level 2.
(There
will be an additional registration fee of $8 per player and coach due at this time)
2.
Let the
TSA Game Scheduler know which day to schedule you off for your travel
day(s).
3.
Download the Travel Permit and send/fax to state
office ASAP. (You will need the Host
permit to fill out this form which can be found by either going to the
website of the tournament you are attending or calling the tournament
director.)
4.
Download
ASSA Medical Release forms for players to fill out and have notarized for
tournament play.
5.
When ASSA sends your level 2 roster there will also
be player cards (ID cards) that will need to be signed by each player and
photos attached to the back. (These
cards are required at the tournaments for player ID’s)

RECREATIONAL TOURNAMENTS

Website, Host permits, or call tournament director for details.)

the "Links" page
There
are also several small-sided tournaments throughout the year that are
great for taking a smaller subgroup of your team. These include
Quickfoot and Got Milk. Check Arkansas and surrounding state
associations for available tournaments.
We
recommend playing in "Recreational Only" tournaments (or
divisions) for the best competitive match with TSA recreational teams. When
signing up for a tournament, find out as much as you can about what age
group you will be playing in, and if any other than "Recreational
Only" teams will be placed in your same bracket.
Rec-All Star teams can be very good, while Classic (or Select) teams
can be extremely good. It can be demoralizing for young players on
recreational teams to be beaten badly by these upper level teams. If
you are interested in this level of play, please contact
