Registration News

The first game of the season will be on Sunday, April 18. Everyone needs to get to the MUSL office, 4921 Leafdale Blvd., Royal Oak as soon as possible in order to register and get an ID card. The ID cards will be sent to me and we need them for the first match, so the sooner people get on this the better. I went yesterday w/ Dan and it was easy. The people were nice, so don't fear it... get on it! The office is open a few evenings during the week and Saturday mornings from 9:00-12:00. Greg has organized a pick-up game in Ferndale on Saturday afternoons, and Dan and Elizabeth said everyone could come by on Sat. the 3rd, register, go to the pick-up game and then back to their place for beers. Even if you get there to register before then, you should consider coming out that day. It'll be a good chance to meet the new people an work out the winter slowness.

Prices:
*Scheduling fee: $100. Paid.
*Registration $1,000 per team (plus a $200 bond for teams in their first season). I need 1/3 to them by May 31.
*Jerseys will be about $12 dollars. I need that money as soon as possible so I can order them and get them before April 18.
* Field fees are $200 for Canton
* Referee fees are $70 per game.

The total cost will come to about $155 per person which will cover everything. The season runs for 6 weeks starting April 18 and then picks up again for the final 8 weeks in the end of August. The cost covers the entire 14 week season. No extra money will be spent in the fall. Please send me a check for $75 this week so I can get moving on the shirts and then everyone will need to get me the other $100 by June 15. Make the check to me so I can divvy it up between the shirt company, MUSL, and the refs.

After this year, the total cost will be $200 less per team plus we won't need new shirts.

EDIT EDIT EDIT!!!!
This is new info as of 5 April 2010.

*** I added a "Pay Pal" button to the sidebar so those of you who have yet to pay the initial $75.00 can do it RIGHT NOW! E-mail me once you've paid so I can make sure it went through properly and then cross you off of the list.

*** I also added some suggested reading to the sidebar for those of you who need to properly prepare for the season & for this summer's World Cup.

*** It turns out that we only need one shirt because there are no other green teams in the league. Secondly, the shirt we had planned on is out of stock so Dan & I decided on a different one @ a similar price. I'm not quite as happy with it, but it will be fine. I ordered them this morning and they should be here by end of this week or the beginning of next week. The prices ended up going up 5 bucks, but I got them to give us a discount so we payed $12.05 a shirt which included numbering (otherwise, numbering would have been $1.50 extra per shirt) so in the end, they were about the same price. Dan & I (in a fit of family bonding ridiculousness) also designed a crest, & we will look into the pricing and turn-around time for getting those printed. If it's only a buck or so per shirt, I think we can cover it.
Here is the shirt we ended up choosing... and the crest which we would put on the left breast.
