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 have an over-30 division that plays Sunday mornings, and over-40 division that plays weeknights from September through November and from late March to early June. Format is 11 v 11 with two 40 minutes halves on full size soccer fields with professional referees. We are also known as Mercer Men's Soccer, even though several teams have women on the roster.
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.
League costs are split by teams as a whole. Jerseys are not purchased by the League, but by each team separately. Each season's fee is $1,100 per team for a 10 game season. A $200 deposit is required three weeks before the 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.

- Our Over-30 Division allows goalkeepers age 21 and over.
- Our Over-40 Division allows goalkeepers age 30 and over.

END OF 2008/2009 FALL/SPRING OUTDOOR SEASON
Congrats to Fuji FC who successfully defended their title against Amici Milano to win the Over-30 Spring Tournament. Fuji FC also won the regular season with only 1 loss on the season.
Congrats to Cranbury who bested Hopewell in the finals of the Over-40 Spring Tournament and to Hopewell for winning the Regular Season.
 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!
