General Information
Home Jersey = Navy Away Jersey = Red
Game cards will be available for pickup at the board table.
Remember that this is recreation; we play so the kids can have fun. Please always keep that as your focus and remind your parents the same. We want to hear cheers for all players on both teams. Leave all your negativity at home.
Referees: Please be aware that many of our referees are minors, and I have no tolerance for abusive behavior of them. If coaches, players, or parents treat them poorly, I will ask them to leave the field. Please be a role model and teach the players and parents to respect the officials.
If you have an issue with a referee, please head over (or send someone) to the board table so we can assist you at the field.
Field Layout
Indirect Free Kicks: An indirect free kick from which a goal can ONLY be scored if another player, on any team, touches the ball after it has been kicked.
