Game Day Procedures

 If we have had or are having inclement weather check the SYSA hot line (703-729-8728) after 8:00am on Saturday to confirm that games have not been cancelled.  In the event of a called game due to inclement weather, home team is responsible for field take down. 

Home team for the first game of the day needs to be sure to paint the lines on the field.  You may want to do this the evening before.  It can take an hour to an hour and a half to do.  You need to put up the corner flags and make sure that the nets are secure.  It is a good idea to walk the field to make sure that it is clean of debris.  If there are any problems with the field or field supplies (painter, paint, flags) please report the problem to your Division Coordinator or to the SYSA field coordinator. 

Home team is the first team listed on the scheduled pairings. The Home team wears Orange and the Visiting team wears White. 

U06 Division

Home Team squads remain on the same fields for both games. Visiting team squads switch fields for the second game. 

During your game be positive to all of the players on both teams.  Be sure to keep a positive attitude as your players and their parents will usually take your lead. Be sure to rotate your players at the quarter breaks and ensure that they all receive equal playing time and get to play all of the positions.  After the game, be sure to shake hands with the other team and coaches to show proper sportsmanship.  Make sure that your team cleans up any trash on your sidelines and takes it with them.  

Home team for the last game of the day needs to be sure to take down the corner flags and put them away. Make sure that the lock box is locked.  

If during your game something occurred that you feel needs to be reported, please do so as soon as possible to your Division Coordinator or to an officer that is handling the area of occurrence (i.e. fields, referee, field equipment, etc.)
