I wanted to thank you all for your time and efforts this past spring for our soccer season.  I hope all of the kids had a good time playing the sport and learning life lessons along the way such as teamwork, sportsmanship, and playing in a christ like manner.  At the JV/V co-ed level, a special congratulations to our Champions:  MLS JV – Archangel Gabriel, MLS Varsity Holy Cross, Premier JV – St. Kilian Green, Premier Varsity – St. Kilian Green.  Below are the results from all the championship week games as well:

* Denotes Championship Game

Looking forward to the Fall season, note that the timeline is always a little tighter from spring to fall then it is from fall to spring.  Registration is open starting as of July 1 and closes on July 31st.  Please time your sports registrations so that you will know how many teams you need by July 31st.  After July 31st we will start the scheduling process and there is no guarantee that additional teams can be accommodated after July 31st and teams registered as of July 31 will be expected to play throughout the entirety of the fall season.  I have attached a timeline and registration form to this email for your use and reference.  Note that the timeline has August 28th as the first week of games.  I am going to try to maintain that but there is a chance that we have to push it up a week to August 21st to accommodate a diocese wide black out date on September 19 for a diocese wide event.  Once I start scheduling if we need to move the date up a week to get the games in I will let you know.  Here is the timeline for your reference.

Fall 2026- DSL Timeline
July 1st	Registration is open
July 31st	School Registrations to the DSL are due (the registration form is attached, and the form can be pdf’d to me at [email protected])
July 31st	DSL fees are due, the check can be made out to the Pittsburgh Diocese and mailed to me at my home address 116 Wickerham Drive, Mars, PA 16046 (fees are $125 per team, so if you have one JV team and 2 developmental teams, send one check for $375)
August 6th	DSL Kickoff meeting – 7:30pm (link to follow closer to the date)
August 10th	Practices can start on or after this date
August 24th	Schedules to be distributed
August 28th	Rosters are due and can be pdf’d to me at [email protected]
August 28thth – August 30th	First week of games
September9 through October 9th	Developmental Tournament & JV/Varsity All Girls Tournament Registration is open
October 24th	Tentative date for Developmental Tournament
November 1st	Last day to complete JV/Varsity games for playoff determinations
November 2nd– November 8th	Tentative dates for JV/Varsity Championship Series

 

Finally, note that I will be travelling  internationally from July 1st through July 14th.  If you have any questions during that time note that I won't have much in the way of cellular or wifi access but I can answer any questions that may have arisen when I return on July 15th.

Regards,

Rob
