Arriving To Games On Time |
|
Traffic volume in the Lower Mainland has increased over the years,
therefore it has become more important for teams to ensure they
provide enough time to arrive at the field prior to the scheduled start
time.
Most fields now have a practice pitch to allow for teams to warm up in
advance of the game, Teams should take advantage of this by arriving
to their game early. |

Maximum (7) Goal Difference Rule |
|
Just a reminder to all coaches of the (7) goal difference ruling.
This league is for development purposes, and that “running up”
game scores should not occur. If the final game score difference is (8)
goals or more, the winning team will forfeit the game and it will be
recorded as a 3-0 loss. Note, both teams are reporting the final game
score.
There are a few things you can do to avoid running up a score verses a
weaker developing team. The two main points are:
1.
Encourage players to play possession game, with distribution of the
ball
2. Play defenders on the forward line and forwards on the
defense lines.
Finally, a great deal of time and effort was placed at the
beginning of the season to ensure parity within the divisions so that
teams were assigned to the correct Tiers. We will continue to monitor
this throughout the season to ensure all games are as competitive as
possible.
Have a great season,
