YOUR SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY

“We treat others how we want to be treated.” – Golden Rule. 

Current Fifa Rules will be in effect unless specifically stated otherwise in these Rules of Play. Team managers or coaches will be notified if any rules are added or changed team.

Before every game a team must shake hands with the referees and their opponents.

Teams are expected to be ready on time and will be fined if we do not start on time.

Red card- penalty for a red is suspension for at least 1 game and is subject to a fine. The amount of game suspension is subject to change and will be determined at the time of the suspension. For a double yellow (red card) within the game the player will be allowed to play for the next game if player as long as they do not cause any issues.

Players, coaches, and spectators that are involved in a fight or aggressions and putting someones well being at risk will no longer be allowed to participate or attend the league. Individual(s) will be permanently suspended. Game will immediately be terminated.

Teams and coaches are held responsible for the behavior of their fans. Coaches may be penalized for the negative behavior of their supporter(s). Game will immediately be terminated.

Smoking and consumption or presence of alcohol is prohibited.

Supporters are encouraged to cheer and motivate players in a positive and appropriate manner.

Reminder that this is a family friendly event. Players, referees, coaches, parents, family members, and friends are expected to treat each other with respect. Kids are always present and we would like to provide them with a positive example and experience. Profanity, screaming at opponents and referees, and arguments are all considered negative examples.

Teams are responsible for picking up after themselves.

Pets are not allowed. An exception will be made for service dogs with proper documentation and complete paper work. All paper work must be filled out and turned into the school office before a service dog is brought onto a school site.

Every player must be registered. Players can register online (https://calchampsoccer.org/player-registration). A registration fee of $80 must be paid in order to receive their ID. Registration is only valid for one season. A photo Id is required. Players must be registered by deadline. Players that do not meet the deadline will be charged an additional $10. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Every team must have a uniform for each of their players. This includes numbers (on goalie’s jersey), same colored shorts, and same colored socks. Failure to do so will result in the player’s exclusion from the game. Players are required to wear the proper safety equipment including shin guards.

Every player is required to fill out the player form (consist of player number and player signature). Player forms will have eligible players’ names typed. Effective immediately. If a player’s name is not included in the player forms they are not allowed to play due to a suspension or unpaid fees.

A team that allows an unregistered player (includes but is not limited to a player registered to the league but not to the specific team) to participate on their team is subject to a loss of points.

Teams are required to play every game, and must play the entire game. A team that fails to do will forfeit the game and is required to pay both teams’ referee fees. Both fees will need to be paid in full before the next game in order to be scheduled the following week.

In order to start the game promptly, we suggest that teams are ready 10 minutes before the scheduled game time. Games will be reduced if they are not started on time due to a team or teams’ delay.

Players must play a minimum of 5 games during the regular season to be eligible to participate in playoffs.

Once a player plays for a team they will not be allowed to change teams until the following season. If a player wants to change teams a player must sit out 3 weeks and must pay another registration fee to be able to transfer to a different team.

We assure you that our referees are properly certified and come prepared to each game. Referees are observed during each game to determine if they sustain the qualities and expectations provided to them by the league. We reassure you that proper actions will be taken at the appropriate time if a referee does not maintain our standards. We ask that coaches and players please respect their calls.

The schedule for the entire season will be given in advance. Games are between 8am-5pm. Changes may occur due to weather, permits, addition of new teams, etc.
