Check your schedule. Check your Schedule. Games and Fields changed and your game may have moved or dropped.

BE EARLY – At least 30 minutes prior to your first game. Coaches, and your crew mates, get worried and start calling me, and I am working games too.

FEES
Print the Fee Schedule and keep it with you. Home team pays full amount.

No Dogs: Schools do not allow animals on their fields. Please ask the coach to ask the parent to remove the animals. We rent the fields from the schools and can not risk losing the fields due to an animal. At City Park fields, animals should be at least 15 yards away from the field. 

PLAYER CARDS

Player Cards are not required the first weekend. Many coaches will have player cards. Some will not.

RULES
If you’ve never done U8 before, REVIEW THE Build Out line rules.

Recreational: NO HEADING in U8, U9, U10 or U12
 

UNIFORMS
There are some Rec players who were added late and don’t yet have a uniform. They may play in any shirt that’s generally the same color as their team, or an appropriate pinnie. JUSA home teams have pinnies if there is a color conflict.

Substitutions:

JUSA Recreational U8, U9, and U10 play QUARTERS in the spring. Substitutions may ONLY be made at the quarter break. Since all players must play at least 3 quarters, you should mark the players sitting out each quarter on the game card so that if you attempt to mark a player sitting out for a second quarter, you can remind the coach of the mandatory, minimum play time requirements.
All other age groups and all Gold matches allow unlimited substitutions at any stoppage. Players must play at least 50% of the game – a responsibility of the coach to maintain, but point out any obvious issues.

Field Conditions
If field lines are faint, use cones to mark sidelines and boxes.

Game Cards: Coaches should hand you a completed card for you to check players against cards. 

Have Fun! Have Fun!
