What Is the Middle Tennessee Soccer Alliance (MTSA) and How Do You Join?

The Middle Tennessee Soccer Alliance (MTSA) is an adult soccer league based in Nashville, Tennessee. It runs four ongoing league divisions — Open, Over 30 (O30), Over 40 (O40), and Over 50 (O50) — plus two named tournaments, the Athens Of The South Cup and the Music City Cup. You join by registering through the site's Login | Register entry and checking the Available Programs page for whichever league is currently open. This is an adult recreational league, so it fits players looking for organized, age-bracketed competition in the Nashville area rather than youth or single-season pickup play.

What MTSA Offers

MTSA organizes its play into age-based leagues and cup events, so players can pick a division that matches their age and preferred level of competition.

The site also lists an Indoor 5v5 event, shown in its news feed as finals held at Franklin Sports Hall. News posts are used to announce season milestones — for example, "Open League - Winter Season MATCHDAY 6" and a Spring '20 registration opening that covered the Open, Over 30, Over 40, and Over 50 leagues.

How to Join

Registration runs through the site's account system rather than a walk-up signup, so the practical steps are:

1. Go to the MTSA site and use Login | Register to create an account or sign in.
2. Open Available Programs to see which leagues are currently accepting registrations. The site's own news pattern shows registration opening per season (for example, a Spring season opening across all four leagues), so what's open depends on where you are in the calendar.
3. Register for the league that matches your age group — Open, O30, O40, or O50.
4. Once registered, use Team Central to reach Posted Schedules and View Standings for your division.

If you're unsure which division fits or whether a spot is open, the Contact page lists a phone number (615-306-2827) and an email address, and the organization is based in Nashville, Tennessee.

Where Games Are Played

MTSA matches are spread across multiple venues in the Middle Tennessee area. The site's Field Status page tracks each location and its individual fields:

• Cumberland University
• Harpeth Soccer Complex
• Ezell Park
• Trinity Park
• Bethesda Soccer Complex
• Fellowship Bible Church

Each venue lists specific fields (for example, Field 1 through Field 4, plus 7v7 fields at some locations). Because games move between these sites, checking Field Status before heading out is the reliable way to confirm whether a given field is playable — the page carries an "Updated" timestamp per venue, and those timestamps vary widely, so the most recently updated entry is the freshest signal.

Checking Schedules, Standings, and Field Conditions

Three parts of the site do most of the ongoing work for a registered player:

• Posted Schedules — your match dates and times, reached through Team Central.
• View Standings — current division tables.
• Field Status — per-venue, per-field playability with update times.

The site also embeds Twitter and Facebook feeds, though these may not display depending on your browser's cookie and privacy settings; the page notes you can adjust this via "Manage Privacy Preferences" in the footer.

Who This Is For

MTSA suits adult players in and around Nashville who want a season-based league with age divisions and periodic cup tournaments, and who are comfortable registering online and checking schedules and field status themselves. It is not a youth program, and the site does not publish pricing on the pages reviewed here — so treat cost and any login requirements as things to confirm directly through registration or the contact details rather than assuming they're free or open.
