ID CARDS

Any time you play in AREA, you must have coaches & players cards, even if you are playing at your own region's field.
If you do not have your players cards, including coaches cards, you may not be able to play.
Have them in numerical order like your line up card, and make referee check-ins quicker.

Area 11 K Rules and Regulations

The following Good Sportsmanship rule applies to the 9U and above divisions:

Teams that win a game by a final goal differential of six (6) or more goals will receive a one (1) point deduction in the standings for every goal scored above five (5) goals
Coaches of teams in games that result in a goal differential of six (6) or more goals will be required to complete one or more good sportsmanship mentoring sessions
Repeat offenders will be suspended

Remember - It is your job to make it a great experience for BOTH teams!

How to not get yourself in that situation:

Pay attention to the flow of the game
Make adjustments early
Give your team a challenge (score only off a cross, use their weak foot only for passing/shooting, complete 10 passes before a shot, only someone who hasn’t scored in the last year can score)

Things to not do:

NOTE FOR 6U-8U TEAMS

There is NO SCORE KEEPING in 6U-8U, so there is no need for the game to be a tense
competition.
The goal is to keep the game moving and the players playing in a safe, fair, and fun way.
Referees/Coaches should talk before the start of the game and have a plan/agreement for making adjustments in the event that one team is totally dominating the game to the point where it is not FUN for all.
An example would be to allow the struggling team to add a player to the field.
Encourage good sportsmanship!
