To  4 District Coaches,

None of us know how the 2010 Olympic Games will impact the balance of our soccer season.

Teams will face many obstacles such as:

  • Depleted number of players due to families attending events or away on Spring Break.

  • Changes in home field locations and times due to field closures.

  • Commuting difficulties with pending road closures and traffic congestion.

Our goal is to have as many scheduled games played as possible. Teams should know that Districts will have very limited space and time to reschedule games and not all requests will be met. Teams may be asked to play these games during the week. Any scheduled games not played during the 2010 Winter Olympics will be recorded as not played.


We ask that Coaches talk to their teams to see how each will be impacted. Parents let your team officials know what your plans will be and how available your daughters/sons will be to the team. Please use the following as a guideline for requests for rescheduling games due to lack of players:

  • U11 & U12 - minimum of 9 players
  • U13 - U18 - minimum of 12 players

Should a team need to have a game rescheduled they must contact their District Scheduler with the details by January 16th. We are aware that there may be 'last minute' cancellations and again these will be recorded as a game not played.

 

Thank you,
Your 4 District Scheduling Committee

Changes to Failure to Produce ID PDF Print E-mail

Please be aware that portions of the Failure to Produce Photo ID have changed starting the 2009-2010 season – check your league’s Rules and Regulations.

Failure to Produce Photo ID

From October 1st onwards it is the responsibility of team officials to make the team’s BCSA photo ID cards available to the referee prior to the start of any game.

Players and team officials without validated BCSA photo ID will be ineligible to play, coach or manage. Exception will require written permission from the District Discipline Chair or, when specific to registration, the District Registrar. This would have been done in advance of your game.

If the team official(s) choose to play an ineligible player, or for themselves to coach/manage, without a validated BCSA photo ID card the referee will inform the opposition. The person will be allowed to play, coach or manage but the referee will include this information in his game report and the team official(s) will assume responsibility with regards to the discipline.

Missing from 4-District Guide PDF Print E-mail

Although the following is in the Guide under U11 & U12 Program Information it got missed from the Rules page.

FIFA LAW 4: Player's Equipment - Safety

A player must not use equipment or wear anything that is dangerous to himself or another person (including any kind of jewellery.)

Religious Articles

Religious headwear may be worn at games, however, all jewelry must be removed (this applies to referees' as well). The only time that there is an exception is for MedicAlert and religious bracelets. In these cases both must be totally covered by tape so as not to cause injury to the player or anyone else (2.5 cm either side). If necklaces are worn for religious purposes they must be taped so that they do not come out from underneath the player's jersey.

All piercings must be removed.

Casts

Providing the cast is completely covered by bubble wrap or foam the referee can make an observation and decide whether it is of danger to the player or anyone else.

Because of the 2010 Winter Olympics, all but the West Vancouver teams  in North Shore Youth District will not take part in Feb 14, 21 and 28 games. Also any schedule that does have a team in it that is impacted by the Olympics from the north shore will not have games recorded in the standings for any EXTRA game scheduled after Feb 7, 2010. And because they will not count they will not be in the standings list but will appear in the online version of the schedule and the Excel grid.
