Weather Policy (For future reference)
In the event of inclement weather - we will follow local weather guidance. If the field conditions are too poor to play or weather will make play unsafe, we will provide an update at 3 PM est canceling games. If we decide to move forward with games and field condition or weather worsens then we will provide an update ASAP on game status.
If we are actively playing and thunder or lightning occurs, then games will be delayed 15 minutes with everyone being asked to return to their cars. After 1 delay, games will be canceled and rescheduled for the following week.
Player Code of Conduct and Rules reminders
If this is your first season doing or playing in Speakeasy Soccer, we would like to introduce you to our player conduct standards and rules that make our league unique.
1. Players should be respectful to one another at all times. We have players of all levels and walks of life participating in our league, that means sometimes players will make mistakes.
We ask that you keep in mind that they are just trying to enjoy the game, learn and get back in shape. Harassment behavior (name calling, cursing at or otherwise being rude) will not be tolerated. We are building a community and you never know who will be on your team next session!
2. Our referees are protected people on the pitch, yelling, cursing, or crowding a referee will result in cards and dismissal from the league. If you have a problem with officiating, have a civil conversation with your captain, the ref or myself. Do not degrade, insult or intimidate a ref. We have had no issues to date in our other leagues, don't be the first.
3.League Specific Rules
Coed 6v6
1 of the minority gender on the field at all times (woman if a team is all men or men if a team is majority women)
No sliding
No Off-sides
5th Foul results in a PK
Ref has final word on sporting efforts. Meaning they may decide an action was egregious or negatively affecting play and award penalties or goals as they see fit. We have not had to use this
type of enforcement before but we have seen examples in other leagues. Do your best not to be an example in future league emails.
Example: There is 20 seconds left in a game, a penalty is called and the opposing team punts the ball to run out the clock. The Referee may issue red cards, award a goal or declare forfeit for unsporting behavior. We will not reward poor sporting behavior
Example 2: A team is tied and is outmatched - to attempt to stop the other team from scoring they repeatedly foul the star offensive player for the other team. Accepting the penalties but running down the clock. A ref may award a PK and cards to directly address the underhanded tactics
