Rules Of The Game – Key Points

Did you know, college coaches and scouts are watching player behavior on and off the field and often coaches and scouts will “pass” on prospective recruit because of parents who are shouting and showing a careless disregard for other.

This is a Showcase, and college coaches and scouts are here to identify and talented and qualified student-athletes.

The first team listed in the schedule is considered the HOME team.

The HOME team will supply 3 suitable game balls, which are subject to referee inspection and approval.

The HOME team will wear white or light-colored jerseys. Each team must have an alternate color jersey for all players in case of color conflict.

The home team, if deemed necessary by the referee, will be required to change jerseys.

Player jerseys number must match the official match roster. All players MUST wear shin-guards during the game and be dressed appropriately. Team should arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the game start.

Coaches and/or players sent off during a match are not allowed to play/coach in the next match for that team. Players/Parents/Coaches who exhibit behavior that's considered offensive will be asked to leave the park.

WHAT IS COOL - Showing respect for everyone and following the rules. WHAT IS NOT COOL - Offensive language and aggressive behavior.

Issues can be raised to the Tournament Director, but all referee decisions are final.

Trainers and medical staff are on-site. Priority is given to injured players! Field marshals are patrolling the area monitoring matches and ready to call medical support for all persons needing assistance.

Each year, parents spend thousands of dollars on soccer gear, water bottles, cell phones, watches and more for their children. And, each year we find soccer gear, backpacks, shoes, shin-guards, IGLOO coolers, keys, phones, and more left on the fields. We will have a lost and found box at each location. Items not claimed at the conclusion of the event are donated to the local Goodwill.
