As the CSSA Board continues to build out the proposed new Thursday Evening league, we’d like to provide a quick update to those who may be interested in playing.

• First, we will follow the highly effective model used by Marty Aftewicz when he built the now very successful “Dreamers” league. Therefore, for the Fall 2024 Season, the new Thursday Evening league will be played as weekly scrimmage game(s), prior to moving forward and formalizing the new league. That way, we can accurately gauge interest in the new league, determine the skill level for the new league, and search for a prospective League Director and Team Managers.
• We continue to look for someone to lead the weekly game(s) and we are actively finalizing a location for the weekly scrimmages, potentially either Hobgood Park or Skip Wells Park. We anticipate the weekly scrimmage(s) to start at 7:00 pm and 8:15 pm, assuming there are enough players for two games.
• Currently, the intended skill level to qualify for this league is for those players participating in the “Masters”, “Legacy”, and “Gold Legends” leagues.
• However, as we progress with the Fall Season scrimmages, we will look at the response at each skill level, and then, if/when the league starts in the Spring of 2025, we’ll adjust and finalize the maximum skill level to fill at least four teams.
• As a reminder, the current Thursday evening “Skip Wells” league is geared towards those players who play in the Tuesday evening “Patriots” league.

More specific details on how to register for the weekly scrimmage game(s) will be shared as we get closer to starting the games, probably about the second or third week of the regular Fall Season.

Stay tuned for more information!
