More major changes occur in 1989.
The SASL was to hold its first Annual General Meeting. It was scheduled to be held in January at the Radisson Hotel in Cromwell. A huge snow storm, however, prevented many from attending, including League Commissioner Vic Smith. There were insufficient numbers for a quorum and the meeting was cancelled.
At the next League meeting, in March, the SASL Executive Board was officially created. The title of League Commissioner was changed to League President and Hamden Conte manager Vic Smith remained incumbent. Wallingford Aniellos manager John Heskes remained as Registrar, but retitled Registrar/Secretary now. Glastonbury manager Ken Brown was made the official delegate to the Connecticut State Soccer Association.
To meet new and increasing disciplinary problems in the League, a new Disciplinary Committee was formed. Madison Thistle manager Garry Archer was made Disciplinary Committee Chairman. North Branford manager Bruce Kelly and Milford Tuesday manager Karl Biewald became members of the new committee.
Fairfield Gaelic, Milford 3 Brothers and SC Nutmeggers were all new teams entering the league after hearing about it and receiving players from Milford Tuesday's Tuesday Night Soccer Club or their Saturday team, Milford Rangers of the Amateur Soccer League of Connecticut.
In June the SASL Executive Board and the Disciplinary Committee joined to form a new Rules Committee.
With approval from the rest of the League, the following League Officers were renamed: John Heskes became Vice President and Registrar & Treasurer. Ken Brown was entered into the new position of Scheduling Secretary.
With increased interest in the Over-30 Tournament sponsored by the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Oneonta, upstate New York, Connecticut is represented by three teams. Madison Thistle became the first SASL team to go to the tournament under their own club name. Connecticut Shoreline was a team made up of players from several SASL clubs. Connecticut Internationals, based in Sherman, were from one of the New York leagues. Connecticut Internationals would eventually become an SASL team in the near future.
A new Cup Committee was being discussed while it was recognised that the League needed a trophy to recognise its Champions.
The fifth edition of the SASL Rules and By-Laws were printed in December 1989.
