Cool Down & Fair Play Rules

The following are the mandatory rules for all age divisions (effective May 31, 2010).
Cool Down Rule:
After a caution (yellow card) is issued, the player must leave the field of play for a 5 minute cool down period. This player can be substituted and his/her team does not play short.
Fair Play Rule:
After one team is ahead in score by 4 goals, the winning team must remove a player from the field.
After each goal scored by the winning team, a player is removed, to the minimum required for the game to continue (which is 8 players in these age divisions).  A team can never play less than the minimum.
If the losing teams scores a goal and there is no longer a 4 goal lead, then the winning team can place a player back on the field.

Retreat Line Rule

U4 to U10 after a goal or a goal kick the opposing team will retreat to half . After the ball is kicked the opposing team start  can start play again.

Weather

We play in rain but never in lightning.  Safety is our greatest concern.

If there are signs of lightning, there is a 15 minute waiting period. If during this period, lightning is not seen again, then the game resumes.

If there is lightning during this period, then you must wait another 15 minutes from the most current lightning sight.

During the wait time, please ask the coaches to have all players, parents, etc. to wait in their automobiles or another safe place (under trees are not safe!).

At any time during the above conditions, if both coaches agree, the game can be abandoned.

If abandoned after to the start of the 2nd half, then the score remains and the game is not rescheduled.

If the abandoned prior to start of the 2nd half, then the game will be rescheduled and played in whole.
