Fall 2021 Season - Are You Ready?!
COACHES:
Check your status - make sure you have current certifications so that you are not red-lined! State Law requires the CDC Heads up EVERY year. Once you have taken the Safe Sport Course you need to take the refresher for Safe Sport. Please remember to upload your new certificates. Don’t be the reason that you team forfeits a game! If you have questions, please contact our office or your club registrar.
TEAM MANAGERS:

RESCHEDULES:
Games needing to be rescheduled for that first Saturday, August 28th must be completed prior to game time on Monday August 23rdth. For example, the game is originally scheduled for Saturday August 28 at 8:00 a.m. and you need to reschedule, it must be completed in the system by Monday August 23rd prior to 8:00 a.m., this includes the opposing team acceptance. Once the window is closed the game is not eligible to be rescheduled. Remember each team is allowed a maximum of 2 reschedules. Not 2 that are fee free and then pay and get additional ones. Once you have used two reschedules there are no more reschedules!
Teams/Coaches that you are scheduled to play are not required to agree to a coach to coach reschedule.
Please be aware that Fall Break is scheduled by each School District – not all schools have scheduled their 2021 Fall Break at the same time!
Games start August 23rd and games must be played and scores entered prior to midnight November 8th.
