| Players Only Weekend |
| Coaches, Just a reminder that this upcoming league weekend June 6 and 7 is Players Only Weekend and will be observed for all league games The goals are quite simple: 1. Develop our players thinking and creative ability to make decisions on the field without constant sideline intervention. 2. Improve the players' ability to communicate with each other on the field by reducing the outside noise level. 3. Support ALL of our referees by eliminating ALL sideline dissension and intervention. The guidelines are also quite simple: 1. Spectators are encouraged to listen for communication among the players and cheer (not instruct) for good plays by either team. Negative comments about any player or official are to be avoided. 2. Coaches are asked to refrain from the constant barrage of instruction during the course of the game. 3. Referees and coaches will acknowledge substitutions by having players standing at the halfway line ready to go in. Spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and simply watch the Beautiful Game, hopefully played in beautiful weather. Coaches and/or spectators that don't adhere to this policy will receive 0 points in the appropriate sportsmanship rating. Thank you for your cooperation, |
