First Division: While all MTSA leagues are considered recreational, this league is anything but. The D1 open league features former club, collegiate, and professional players and offers the highest level of soccer for adults in Middle Tennessee.

Second Division: D2 is a slightly less intense league than D1. However, this league is still very competitive. Players in this division have played soccer most of their life and may have club, collegiate or professional experience. Most teams will request a tryout if you wish to join their team.
D2 will be limited to 10 teams
