Common Questions
* Conduct
-
All games shall be conducted in a sporting manner. The executive board and director reserve the right to make rulings in the best interests of the group.
-
Profanity, smoking, drinking, or the use of illegal drugs shall not be tolerated at practices or games, by players, referees, coaches, spectators, or parents.
-
All red cards shall be reported to the director/board for their action. Red cards will be dealt with on a case by case basis and could involve game suspensions to banishment from league.
-
All PETS should be left at home or kept outside the fenced soccer field area to prevent incidents. Please respect the wishes of the Youth Soccer Association and make alternate arrangements.
-
Referees shall be empowered to issue cards to coaches and spectators, and remove as necessary.
* Rain-Out Procedure
The Director and Executive Board will decide whether games are to be played or canceled due to weather related issues. The decision will be made as soon as possible and announced on the local radio station (WZDM - 92.1 FM). Coaches, parents, and team coordinators may call the director's voice mail at the University - (812) 888-5470. Three lines service this phone. PLEASE DO NOT CALL BEFORE 11:00 AM
if games are scheduled to begin at 1:00 PM on questionable playing days. The Director will attempt to make a decision by 11:00 am. If it's "touch-and-go" the message may be updated throughout the changing weather conditions as we approach 12:00 noon. Soccer is played in the rain and snow as long as safe playing conditions exist. A RED FLAG will hang at the field signifying no games. A GREEN FLAG means we play. It is requested that one representative of each team calls the recorder and then they call each member of his or her team. We will produce an e-mail mailing list and send a note to it, and post a note through the website. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANY MESSAGES ON VOICE MAIL.
* Parents Seating
The Board requests that both teams sit on one side of the field away from the parents and spectators with the coaches. This will aid in the flow of the game for the coaches and the referees. Parents - PLEASE STAY AT LEAST 2 YARDS OFF THE LINE FOR PLAYER ENJOYMENT/SAFETY. Bring your lawn chairs with you for seating for the games.
* Special Requests
The V.Y.S.A. will try to honor, on an individual basis, requests from players/parents regarding special considerations (ride sharing, special needs, etc...). Requests to be placed on a specific coach's team will not be honored. Coaches may not align themselves with a specific asst. coach, prior to the player/team selection night. Coaches do not "assign" or "claim" any players for their teams. All requests go to the League Registrar.
* Hardship Cases
The V.Y.S.A. will give consideration on an individual basis to a player/family suffering from an undue hardship. Please bring these cases to the attention of a Board Member for review. Thank You.
* Garbage
It is imperative that we all clean-up the debris generated by our use of these fields, parking lots etc. and place it in the appropriate containers. HELP US KEEP OUR HOME LOOKING GOOD. Please be considerate of the neighbors surrounding the youth soccer complex. Coaches - Utilize your team members to clean-up your field after each practice and game. Thank you.
