With the uncertainty of natural field opening dates, CMSA has been strategizing on how to make best use of the resources we are confident will be open by May 5. To give you an idea of the scope of what we are facing: CMSA originally had 295 bookings on natural fields for preseason that may not be open by our start date. We are left with 197 bookings on artificial fields and tried to pick up more where we could. The difficulty, as always, is that we are not the only user group of these facilities in the city.
At this point in time, the following divisions will be scheduled for a preseason of 3 games starting the weekend of May 5. We have prioritized U15 and U17 I and II, who are on the road to Nationals, as it is critical these teams have a seeding phase and are placed appropriately:
U15B I, II
U15G I, II
U17B I, II
U17G I, II
The following two groups will have a 3-game schedule (***note start dates; not every team in the divisions will play on the first day):
U17 B III – Thursday, May 3
U17G III – Wednesday, May 2
All U19 Divisions will have a 3-game schedule
