General Rules

Game Times:

All games will be scheduled for a 3:30pm kickoff unless both coaches and referee have agreed to a different time or due to time constraints of turf fields.

If a referee does not show up:

If by 3:45pm a referee does not show up to the field, coaches would get together and see if they have a qualified ref suitable for the calibre of game being played.  Perhaps a staff member or parent.  If this is not possible or both coaches cannot agree, then each coach referees one half of the game.  If this is not agreeable, then the game must be made up at a later date.  However, if this is agreeable there are no protests laid after the match because of the refs ability or his or her calls, etc.  The results of the game stands.

Substitutions:

Unlimited substitutions are allowed.  Referee will signal a player on to the field at their discretion.

Game Length:

Games will consist of two 35 minute halves.

In all league games, if the game ends in a tie, there is no overtime or penalty kicks.

Field Conditions:

If games are in jeopardy due to field conditions, the home team should seek out an alternate field.  If the home team is unable to find an alternate field, the visiting team has the option of finding one.  All field changes must be reported to the league coordinator and referee allocator.

All protests must be filed immediately and must include making the referee and the opposing coach aware that a protest is being filed and the reason for the protest.  Protests should be sent to the league coordinators (via email) and should also be copied to the SSSAA President.
