Weather Cancellations

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

All,

Please show up to your practice or game. Usually the weather near your house is more than likely different than what is at the game or practice field, unless contacted by your coach or other offical. Practice or games will be postponed/cancelled if lighnting is seen in the near distant sky, 20 mins, referees/coaches can make this decision whether to cancel or continue play! Practice/Game play will not be cancelled or postponed for rain!

Lightning and Thunder are considered as the same thing. Where there is thunder the conditions are right for possible lightning. Once Lightning is seen or thunder is heard the game must be suspended for 20 minutes. There must be a 20 minute time period of thunder and lightning free before the game may be restarted. The game may be postponed twice before it must be called and rescheduled. Coaches may make a decision to call the game off earlier if they feel the conditions will not change. Coaches do not have the power to start the game up again before the 20 minute safety time has elapsed.

Rescheduling a practice due to weather is up to your coach to decide.

Rescheduling games due to weather is your coaches responsibility to arrange and contact the field scheduler. HVSC House teams, the home team for that game should contact the field scheduler for rescheduling.

The safety of everyone comes first!

Mercy Rule

Monday, August 21st, 2006

U7 & U8 House	Will abide by the following mercy rule: When a team is leading by 4 goals, the trailing team may add a player. When trailing by 5 goals, they may add a second player and when trailing by 6 goals they may add a third player. After a third player has been added, no more players shall be added. If the trailing team then scores a goal, they shall then remove a player to keep the ratio of players in line with the above policy.
U9 and above House & Travel Rec	Shall follow WSSL rules which are as follows: When the goal differential becomes 5, the team leading will remove one player until they reach the minimum number of players for that age group (Law 8 ). Whenever the losing team scores a goal and reduces the goal differential, the leading team can add a player back onto the field but not to exceed the maximum number of players allowed should the differential become 4 or less.
Coaches & Referees	The 2 rules above are very different from each other and can be confusing. Please be sure to follow the correct rule for the age group you are coaching or refereeing. Remember, the WSSL rule is for recreation games only, not Select games.
