Notes for the Small Field:

1.  We simply do not have enough referees.  Coaches are to please ref the match following their own.  Please decide amongst yourselves who will referee the first game each week.  Volunteers are greatly appreciated!      If there is no referee for a game, each of the opposing coaches will referee 1/2 of their game.

2. Pictures:  TBA unless otherwise arranged with the photographer, Kathy Leffler.  Payment will be due when pictures are taken. 

3.  Coaches, please instruct your assistants, players, and especially parents that none of us are perfect and mistakes will be made on occasion. Please encourage them (especially by example) to show respect and control, even if they disagree with calls or plays.  Please also instruct the parents and team members that everyone (including yourselves, coaches!), except the linesmen (if present), needs to stay at least 3 feet back from the sidelines (behind the red/orange lines), outside the field of play!  This is an important safety issue and will also assist the referee in making correct calls.   Remember: Our goal for the children is to have fun while learning!!!  Let them play!!

4.  Coaches, discuss with your parents the possibility of having a team parent to coordinate snacks during halftime and/or after the game. Snacks during halftime should be water/sports drinks and/or fruit. Ask your parents to please refrain from sweets until after the game if they decide to have snacks then. Fruits provide a "longer lasting" source of energy than sweets and don't tend to induce cramping.

5.  Soccer is an all-weather sport and we will play in the rain (though not in thunder and lightning).  If a match is to be cancelled due to bad weather, it will be a board decision, not an individual coach decision. Please check the home page of this website for notification or call: 419-949-4337.  Missed games may be rescheduled if both coaches/teams desire.  Please consult a board member if this is the case.

6.  Each team will field 11 players (including a goalkeeper) unless otherwise agreed upon by both coaches and the referee. There can be less players, but not more than 11 for each team on the field at one time.  We will play 4, 10 minute quarters with 2 minute breaks between quarters and a 5 minute break between halves.  We will only switch fields after halftime.

Have a great season and remember to have fun!!!!!
