PLAYER CARDS - It is the responsibility of the coach to bring player cards and coach identification to all interleague matches. Referees will check player cards at the start of matches and verify with game cards.
REFEREES - Referee coordinator can be contacted at referee@bigbearsoccer.com. Ages u10 and up are intended to have referees at every game. u8 games will have referees when available.
GAME CARDS - Download a PDF game card and type your player info in, let your printer do the work! Please print on heavy duty paper, 2 sided (the file has a front and back), and remember to keep them dry in your coach's bag! Roster cards / game cards need to be filled out with date, time team name, final score (referee tracks red/yellow cards and substitutions on your game card) and a referee confirmation (signature/name) AND EMAIL TO referee@bigbearsoccer.com
SUBSTITUTIONS -
u6 / u8 substitutions happen on the fly or at stoppage of play per agreement with other coach. Don't wait for quarter time - the kids aren't that patient. Divide up game time equally to all players.
u10 & up substitutions happen at quarter time. Clock runs. Enter field from center field line only. Each eligible player MUST be played 50% of the match.
SIDELINES - Coaches and players from both teams on one side of the field; all parents on the other side of the field. Anyone on the coach/player side of the field must be a registered team administrator. Acceptable fan/parent behavior is the responsibility of each team; coaches can be held responsible for inappropriate fan behavior.
LEAGUE STANDINGS / POINTS SCORE - Interleague schedules have been coordinated in such a way as to provide a basis for including interleague games in league standings. All teams in each division were able to be assigned to play an identical set of opponents (though not controlled for when during the season each team is played). Points for games against an out-of-league opponent DO COUNT toward the in-the-league points race. Points are awarded as follows:
(3) Points for a win
(1) Point for each team in a draw
Backup for ties is Goals Scored / Goals Against
Please remember to PHOTOGRAPH your GAME CARD at ALL GAMES and EMAIL to referee@bigbearsoccer.com
The first two teams in each division, by end of season points, earn Commissioner's Cup tournament slots. The first place team by points has head coach nominated as All-Star team Head Coach.
FIRST AID - Please put your players' parent's phone number(s) in your phone so you don't have to fumble around looking for it if you suddenly have a medical problem. Keep your players' registration forms on hand to establish consent to treat for medical professionals in case the need arises. On the field, be ready to stop bleeding. Nose bleeds and broken skin...
CLOSING CEREMONIES - Currently scheduled for November 6th at 6pm at Wyatts
