TJSL 2010

All players, age 18 and under (recommended 15-18), are invited to participate in the Toronto Juniors Summer League (TJSL). The leagues are co-ed and open to players of all skill levels. The goals of the leagues are: (i) to have fun; (ii) to learn Spirit of Game; and (iii) to improve individual skills and team strategies. All participants must register as TUC members (cost $25/person) and provide a signed waiver form to the TUC office. As a TUC junior member, you are eligible to play in TJSL for FREE in 2010.

Depending on the age demographics and skill levels of the players, we will offer different divisions as well (beginner/experienced).  If you wish to play with your friends/classmates, please email the convenor tjsl@tuc.org with the list of names and you will be placed on the same team. Team rosters will be posted once the teams are set.

The TJSL will be played on various nights and in several locations in 2010, beginning in mid-June. Coaches will be present at all games. If you have any additional questions or difficulties with registration, contact the TUC office admin@tuc.org or the convenor.
