2011 Mayor's Cup Champions

And all teams advancing to the Area Q League Champion's Tournament

A big thank you to Mayor Pro Tem John Nielsen for coming out to the finals and presenting the medals and trophies for the Mayor's Cup. The Fall season league playoffs, the Mayor's Cup, concluded Sunday, December 4rd. This single elimination tournament involved all teams in divisions Under-9 through Under-14, and was seeded from the regular season final standings. The Mayor's Cup champions and runner-ups (both finalists) advance to the Area tournament as Tustin's Champions. Full information can be found on our Mayor's Cup page.

The schedule has been published for the teams advancing. It can be found on the Area 11-Q Schedule. This tournament spans two weeks from Dec 5 - Dec 18 and begins with pool play where most teams will play 3 games. The first games are on Monday, Dec 5th. When reading the schedule, "R0096B" breaks down as "Region 96 B", or 2nd place from the Mayor's Cup. "A" is the 1st place team from the Mayor's Cup.

Attention All-Star Players: Your commitment to your fall league team comes first. In the event of ANY conflict, you are required to attend your fall league team's event instead of the all star team's event. This includes practices, games and any other event.

2011 Volunteer of the Year Award

Region 96 Board of Directors congratulate and thank the 2011 Volunteer Of The Year recipients, Vince Jones and Jill Munro.

Vince Jones, besides coaching multiple teams each season, took on the Boys U14 Division Coordinator position. He also stepped in and served as the Girls U16 and U19 Division coordinator. In his spare time he can often be found re-lining fields. When asked, he would say: "Lining field relaxes my mind. It's peaceful as I have the field to myself."

Jill Munro was trusted into the position of the Advanced Play (EXTRA, All Stars, Spring Select) Coordinator, perhaps the most challenging management position other than Commissioner in Region 96 as the program involves almost 600 players and 50 teams with activities spread over the entire calendar year. In a year where the EXTRA program enjoyed a 50% growth she singlehandedly manages a program that used to have 3 staff members.
