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

League - 

We are excited to have you join us for our social draft league this session! Speakeasy Soccer is a non-profit volunteer-based league. This session, the funds raised will go towards our refugee pilot program. We are currently working with a local group to bring multiple refugees to our leagues, covering their league costs and equipment needs. We hope this pilot can lay the foundation for a larger program. 

That being said, this week is the first week of our ladder draft format! The ladder draft format works by creating new teams each week based on individual player rankings. The top-rated player is paired with the bottom-rated player, and so on, until four teams are made. The first week, teams will be made based on individual self-assessment. Week 2 and 3 will be made off of player rankings - A win will net you three points, a tie 1 point, and a loss zero. At the end of three weeks, we will allow players to decide whether to continue the ladder draft format or move to a more traditional one for the remaining six weeks of the season. We decided to start with a ladder format because it can be hard to self-assess your talent/skill in the context of the league. This allows everyone to play on balanced teams and ensures that drafts result in more equitable teams.
