  • Tournament play such our Charity Challenge (November) and the Judges Cup (December) may involve games on Sunday.
  • Teams in some age groups may travel occasionally to other fields in the area.
  • In recreational soccer, every player MUST play at least half of every game (except in case of injury, illness, or discipline: the coach notifies the referee).
  • SUBSTITUTIONS may be made on a teams OWN throw-in. Either team may sub on goal kicks, at halftime, when a goal is scored, or in case of injury.
