Movin' on up

As you can see from the Commish's email below, we are moving up to the Second Division in the fall. It's a nice reward for an excellent season - actually, our best season ever.

The Second Division will likely consist of the following 10 teams: 

DC Thunder

Hoover FC

Armory (they may fold)

DC Divided

Far Post

Funky Town

Prism

Lost Tourists

Goleros

Flirting with Sobriety.  

Taz Devils and Diplomats, who were in the Second Division, will likely move up to First Division, while Prism and Lost Tourists will likely come down to take their place.  To make room for Goleros and the Flirts, the Red Devils and Buena Vista Soccer Club will move down.

One more note about promotion and relegation.  Both Black Haggis and Team X are likely moving up from First to Premier.  One of our former players, Justin, is a star midfielder for Black Haggis.  And Team X's rise demands respect.  A year ago they were playing in the Third Division.  They cruised through First and Second division in one season each.

Hello all,

We have officially wrapped up our Spring 2008 CCSL season and I want to congratulate the playoff champions. Interestingly enough, yet again, none of the regular season division champions (three of whom went undefeated) won their respective playoffs. Really speaks to the parity and quality of play throughout our league.

Premier: Conquistadors took a forfeit title from Booters FC (Booters won regular season title)
D1: Team X defeated Black Haggis 3-2 (Haggis won regular season title)
D2: Diplomats defeated DC Divided 3-1 (Taz Devils won regular season title)
D3: Flirting with Sobriety defeated Goleros 4-1 (Goleros won regular season title)

To reiterate, regular season and playoff champ have option of promotion with bottom two teams faced with relegation.

Thanks to everyone for another great CCSL season. We all very much appreciate everyone’s flexibility and patience with the inordinate amount of rainouts and reschedules that we had.

Just to put a placeholder for you all for the Fall, we are tentatively aiming at having the captains meeting on Monday Aug 4th with a season start on Sunday August 24th.

It would be helpful for me also to know if you are planning on coming back for the Fall season as it will help us get a sense of how things are shaping up. So if you could email me back and let me know (yay, nay, or not sure), that would be appreciated.

As always, any feedback on ways we could improve is always welcome and if anyone has leads on decent fields (college or HS alums, personal contacts, or otherwise), we always want to try and pursue those.

Thanks and have a great summer!

Sanjay
CCSL Commissioner
