NMSSA runs a tight ship when it comes to the state budget. We are a non-profit organization that doesn't make money off of our tournaments and relies only on it's annual memberships. A big portion of your $19 fee is paid to USASA and US Soccer and the rest goes to NMSSA. What does this mean? Our bank account is small.

WHY does NMSSA want to raise money? Several reasons, but here's a quick list:

- Recruit, train, and mentor more adult referees

- Provide help and resources to all our leagues, which includes travel to Las Cruces, Santa fe, Gallup, and Farmington.

- Host more tournaments, especially in cities outside of Albuquerque for all of our members.

- Send our league operators and board members to National meetings to build connections, gain support, access resources, and learn how to run better leagues and tournaments. 

HOW CAN YOU HELP??

- Volunteer to work a shift or two at the Isotopes standium (concession stand) during baseball and NM United games.

- Reach out to nmssapresident@gmail.com to inquire about incentives for volunteering your time. 

NMSSA is looking to add tournaments for their members. Right now, we are working with the tribe to host a Military Tournament in June. We also are looking to add a winter/early spring tournament in the Las Cruces. STAY TUNED! If you would like to suggest an event for our members, please reach out to us. 

The FALL CLASSIC is right around the corner! This tournament is hosted by NMSSA and is affilated through USASA and USSF. The Fall Classic will be held at the soccer complex in Bernalillo, now known as the Santa Ana Soccer Complex. This complex is well maintained and located 30 minutes north of central Albuquerque. The Fall Classic will take place November 18th and 19th. This "Classic" tournament will allow men's, women's, and coed teams to play in a traditional tournament on full sized fields, using the traditional 11 vs 11 model. Women's games will be 7 v 7. Registration is NOW OPEN!

DOG DAYS UPDATE! Photos are in! Please go to the Dog Days page, under TOURNAMENTS, to find the link! The schedule with results are still in process since this is a new system. It takes time to physically build tournaments and add in results. 

KRAEMER KUP UPDATE! Next year we plan to have it in the evening, under the lights. There will also be a tighter schedule without large breaks in between and more teams. We enjoyed trialing this event and will work to make it even better in 2024.
