Fields and Equipment

Match officials will inspect the field prior to the game. Any problems must either be resolved or agreed upon by both team managers before the game will begin.

Uniforms

All teams must have a primary and alternate kit. This refers to an alternate jersey color. Jerseys should match and have a number on the back. Jerseys with matching numbers (i.e. two jerseys with number 8) are not permitted. Socks and shorts must be of the same color but need not be identical style. Shin guards must always be worn. All equipment must pass a check by the referees.

The HOME team is required to change to their alternate kit in the event that their primary kit is too similar to the AWAY team.

Referees

Competitive divisions will have three match officials. (1) Center Referee and (2) Linesman.

Competitive Fees:
  • $80 Center
  • $60 Linesman/AR (x2)
  • Total: $200

Each team will be responsible for covering half the officials fee for the game. ($85 per team)

If there are only two officials at a competitive division match, the league policy is to have the two officials referee the game in tandem and pay each one $60.

Forfeits

Notification to the league president of any games that will be forfeited must come by 8 pm on the Friday prior to the Sunday match otherwise the forfeiting team will be responsible for paying the referees ($200). Please contact the opposing manager first to discuss a re-schedule date (if desired) then contact the league president.

Weather Policy

Rosters are provided by PSG/ WSL after player registration. Both teams must present a printed roster to the match officials for player check-in prior to the game. Players must present a valid photo ID at time of check-in. Managers must include jersey numbers on the roster which correspond to the appropriate player. Any player who does not appear on the roster will not be eligible to play, NO EXCEPTIONS!

Rosters must include a minimum of 11 players.

No additions to the roster during the final two weeks of the regular season.

Player Eligibility and Registration Rules

Players should be registered by the deadlines set at the spring meeting. During the season the player registration form will close at 11:59 pm on Friday. Players who do not register by this time will not be eligible to play for the current week. Registration will open again on Sunday evenings.

If a player has registered and does not appear on your roster please notify the league vice president and president and they will resolve the matter.

Players must be 18 at time of signing the registration form.

Switching Teams

Players who wish to switch teams may do so freely at times when the league is not in session.(September-April). However, players who wish to switch teams when the league is in session must obtain a release from their current manager. If the manager does not agree to release that player, the player will be subject to a 30 day wait period prior to registering with another team. This measure is in place to prevent teams from “stealing” players or from players themselves hopping from team to team based on the success of the teams. A player may have the 30 day wait period waived under certain circumstances in which both managers, as well as the league president approve the player switching teams. Players who wish to switch teams during the season are encouraged to contact the league president with their request.

Post Game Duties

Both team managers should call in their game score to the website manager . This is to prevent any score discrepancies.

Please check the scores posted on this website to make sure that they are correct.

Promotion and Relegation

The last-place team in the final standings of the league table from Division 1 will be relegated to Division 2 for the following season.

The information will be reviewed and must be approved by a majority of League Officers
