Spring League - Home Teams / Rules

Home teams responsible for field set-up.  This means cones at each corner of field.  Cones around table at midfield between teams for substitution area. Home team responsible for timer and scorekeeper. Each region should have a “card table” for the timer and scorekeeper and chairs.

Each region  (South, Central, North, and North-Central PeeWee) will have a “Game Box”. Boxes should have first aid kit, one bottle of water, air horn, extra mouth guards, game balls, stop watch. Last team to play at their home field is responsible for picking up the game box, table, cones, etc and returning it to area coordinator BEFORE the next series of games.

Home Team is responsble to reschedule make-up due to rain cancellation. Contact Area Coordinator to arrange field. Home Team is also responsbile for providign score keeper for all levels including Pee Wee games where CCGLL is home team. SMGLL pee wee home teams will not keep score.

Rules for Pee Wees: There is a “one-pass rule”.  Once the ball is cleared by the goalie, there needs to be one pass from a field player to another field player before a field player can shoot on goal.  The "one pass" from field player to field player needs to be completed to count.
