  • Main goal at all levels is to teach the kids and have fun! o Good sportsmanship is required. There will be no foul language tolerated from coaches or players.
  • All players are expected to go through the line and shake hands at the end of the game. No rude comments during this time will be tolerated.
  • In House league is equal playing time. Do your best to keep playing time as equal as possible for ALL players. We understand there are times this is difficult due to time of the game, etc. However, purposely not playing a player will not be tolerated.
  • With the above being said, please note that each player is to play as close to 1/2 of the game as possible. It is up to each coach as to how they want to split this playing time up. However, each player needs to play at least part of each half. In other words a coach can't sit a player the entire 1st half & then have them play the entire second half. Al players need to play both offense & defense.
  • No player is allowed to play the entire game unless your team has no subs during a given game.
  • All players are required to have shin guard, socks that completely cover their shin guards & soccer or tennis shoes. If a player is missing one of these, they will not be allowed to play. This is for everyone's safety.
