Field Set-Up
Teams are responsible for setting up one half of the field on game days, including net and corner flags. We recommend that the team has an equipment person(s) that can set up the field while you warm-up your players for the game.

 

Game Tips
Use your game warm-up as a mini practice.
Make sure for the development of your players that you rotate players through multiple positions and that all players get the same amount of playing time.
Don't over coach in games. Your time is during practice, we want the players to own the games.
Keep your half time talk to 1 or 2 points, and let the kids go home after the game without having a long lecture.

Game Day Rosters
Coaches must provide the referee a Game Day Roster for each game.
Only the coaches and players listed on the roster can participate in that game. You can add guest players to your roster.

Need to Borrow Players
It is okay to borrow players as long as you know they are registered PYSA players, irregardless of which club they play for. You can borrow players that are the same age/grade as your team or one year below you. If you know ahead of time that you may be short please contact one of your fellow JSC coaches.

Blowout Policy
At no point should you allow your team to blowout another team. There are various ways to avoid a blowout:

Remove a player
Have the other team add a player
Take off your goal scorers or put them in goal or defense
10 passes before you can shoot
Shoot from outside the goal box only
Score from crosses only
