Reminder - Shin guards required: For you die hards who are still living in the 1970's (wearing tight shorts and ankle socks), it's time to buy some shin guards and proper socks, not to mention longer shorts. Buy two pair, and keep one set in the trunk so you're never caught without them.

Central New Jersey Adult Soccer League
 WELCOME to the website of the Mercer County Amateur Masters Soccer League (MCAMSL). We are an adult soccer league that plays competitive, outdoor, recreational soccer in Mercer County, New Jersey. We are also known as Mercer Men's Soccer, even though several teams have women on the roster.
We have an over-30 division that plays Sunday mornings, and two over-40 divisions that play either weeknights or Sunday mornings from September through November and from late March to early June. We also have a summer division for over-19 and over-30 that plays weeknights in the summer. Format is 11 v 11 with two 40 minutes halves on full size soccer fields with professional referees.
Although we draw players mostly from Mercer County, we welcome all players and teams willing to make the weekly trek. We are looking to expand our league with additional players, teams and divisions.
If Mercer County is too far South for you, check out the Tri-County Soccer League along the I-78 and I-287 corridors in NJ. If you are looking for something a little less competitive, try WWPSA Adult Rec League. If you are closer to Philadelphia, check out Casa Soccer. Also, see opportunities for indoor soccer and summer soccer.
FEES
League costs are split by teams as a whole. Jerseys are not purchased by the League, but by each team separately. A $200 team deposit is required three weeks before the season start date. Team fees include referee fees, field rentals, liability insurance, and other administrative expenses. If expenses exceed expectations, teams will be responsible for splitting the extra costs later in the season. At this time, teams are responsible for their own jerseys. If you don't have a jersey, please wear a color that closely matches your team's selected color. See Teams page.
 RULES & REGS
Rules are posted online. We play FIFA rules with only minor modifications. Players must turn minimum age by December 31st of current year, with an exception for goalkeepers. Requests for exceptions are generally not granted, but must be made to the league at info@mercermensoccer.net. There are unlimited substitutions at any stoppage recognized by referee. Yellow cards require a 5-minute cool off, but players may be substituted. Slide tackling is NOT allowed in over-40 divisions, but is allowed in other divisions. All players MUST fill out and SIGN a player application form that includes a Hold Harmless agreement before they can play.
SCHEDULE
Field location and schedule will be provided online a couple of weeks before the season starts. Rained out games will be re-scheduled when possible (not necessarily on same day of week). Final rain out decisions and schedule changes will be posted online 2 hours before scheduled kickoff. ALWAYS Be sure to check web site before heading to your game.
For more information contact us at info@mercermensoccer.net.
GOALKEEPERS
 We recognize that a good goalkeeper is hard to find and can be the difference between winning and losing, and as such, we've relaxed the age-restriction on keepers as follows:
- Our Over-30 Division allows goalkeepers age 21 and over.
- Our Over-40 Division allows goalkeepers age 30 and over.

More indoor info.
WOMENS SOCCER
Our men's divisions do allow women, but we currently only have about 7 registered on teams. Although we'd like to see more, we also recommend the following:
FOR 20 YEAR OLDS
We currently offer an OPEN division for players age 19 and over during the Summer (June - July). For Fall, Winter, and Spring, we recommend the following:
END OF 2010//2011 OUTDOOR SEASON
Over-19 Summer: Congrats to Steinert Alumni for winning playoffs and Bordentown for winning regular season title.
Over-30 Summer: Congrats to Mercer United for winning regular season title.
Over-30 Fall/Spring: Congrats to S. Nini Builders for winning the regular season title and the WWPSA Wasps for winning the playoffs.
Over-40 Fall/Spring: Congrats to Cranbury for winning the regular season title and Jersey Force for winning the playoffs.
 The Board has decided to continue having 2 officials on the field for both divisions. The increased cost has been worth the better coverage for offsides infractions and fouls.
The incumbent officers were re-elected with Kirk LeCompte serving as Board President, Ben Letson as Treasurer, and Michael Donnelly as Secretary. Mark Cannulli and Chris Sullivan were named co-chairs of the Recruiting Committee and plan to organize an August recruiting session for potential new players in both divisions.
We owe a great deal of thanks to the many volunteers who keep this league going - especially the Board and the Captains. Their tireless, unpaid, often unseen efforts are equal to the their outstanding play on the field. Thanks!
