As many of you know I relocated to the UK a little over 18 months ago. I have attempted to run SBASL
from afar since my move, but the time zone challenges proved too difficult to overcome. In retrospect,
it has become obvious to me that a local soccer league needs local involvement and on-site management.
So, I am very sad to say that I must close down SBASL effective as of the end of this current summer
season.
I am hopeful that all of the players who have participated in SBASL in the past will find other
organizations in which to continue to play. I am aware of a new league that is forming called Beyond
The Game. It is run by two gentlemen who have been long-time players in SBASL, John Tom and Shawn
McCarson. Based upon what I know of these two, I believe they will work hard to provide an enjoyable
soccer experience for their members. The website for this new league is:
www.beyondthegame.us
Or you can call: (408)265-6510
I wish soccer in the south bay ongoing success and I'd like to thank all of you that I had the privilege
of working with at SBASL.
Sincerely,
David Chamberlain
