We are excited to partner with APS and International Development Academy to host the New Mexico Youth Soccer "Middle School Soccer league". This program is available as a result of the "Innovate to Grow"grant awarded NMYSA from the United States Soccer Federation, USSF. We look forward to providing an opportunity for many Middle School aged children to learn and play the beautiful game of soccer!

Games/GameTimes
All Girls team games will begin at 4:15 pm followed by Boys games beginning at 5:40 pm. Game lengths will be two 35-minute halves with a 10-minute half time period. This will apply to all games except for the Garfield games in Group D. Garfield Middle School was only able to form a Boys team so if you are in group D and scheduled to play Garfield, only your boys team will play at 4:15 pm and your girls team will have a bye.
Referees
We will be using a USSF certified assignor to schedule referees using a 3-Offical format, (center and 2 assistant referees). Coaches must give the referee a copy of their team roster prior to the start of play. Please be aware and notify your players and parents that there is a Zero Tolerance policy for referee abuse and referee assault. All USSF procedures will be followed concerning referees. Please be assured, referees are human and do make mistakes. All calls, good and bad are part of the game. We do not allow game/referee protest. You can however complete a referee evaluation form which will be reviewed by the USSF Assignor.
