Game Day Guidelines

Each participant must wear a school pinnie.

Players may come early or stay later than there scheduled game to play with another team if needed. This is encouraged as sometimes teams may have light numbers.

Each game will be officiated by two certified college and/or HS officials.

Games should not exceed one hour (except for “Overtime”). The clock will start on or about your starting time when the referees are ready to start the game. All games are played on a full-size regulation field.

TRASH – All teams are required to clean up their bench areas and any mess left in the parking lots after their games. There are garbage cans on site … please use them.

** No Gatorade or gum on the turf or in the stadium!

Game Rules

Game duration – All games will consist of two 25-minute running halves.

Time outs – The clock stops on “time-outs.” Each team will be awarded 1 timeout per game. All time outs are 1 minute.

Overtime – If a game ends in a tie, there will be a 3-minute “Sudden Death” overtime played. Successive 3-minute overtimes will be played until the winner is declared.

No Body Contact – Officials are required to penalize any questionable rough play or uncontrolled sticks (slashing). Any contact interpreted as “intent to injure” will subject the player to immediate expulsion from the game, a one-game suspension, and probation for the remainder of the season. It is the intention of the league to provide all of our HS kids the opportunity to play at the varsity level and work on their individual and team play.

** A warning may or may not be given before removal from the league.

Cancellations

In the case of an unforeseeable problem with the field and /or sustained dangerous weather is expected, a member of the league will contact each coach via phone, It is also the responsibility of the team coaches to notify all their players if a scheduled game is canceled.

At the game site, the referees make the final determination whether or not a game shall be started or continued based on the fitness of the grounds or the intensity of the weather (lightning). All games are played on an artificial turf field. These fields are not affected by rain. If the game becomes dangerous due to weather, the referees will stop the game for up to 20 minutes to evaluate the weather. If the game cannot be continued after 20 minutes, the game is canceled. Games will not be played if any lightning is present.
