SIGNATURES NO LONGER NECESSARY... effective immediately, it is no longer necessary for a player or coach to sign the pass ... we are working on the software to eliminate the signature line on the back of the Coaches and Players pass, but until that is done, use the current form; just don't bother to sign it. This change only applies to the Coaches and Players Passes. All other signatures are still required.

THUNDER/LIGHTNING ... Just a reminder, you should know the protocol when there is thunder and/or lightning at a match, practice, or other team organized event. The Thunder and Lighting Policy link in the Rules Guide is more specific, so please read it, again, but, in part, the policy says ..... 1. Listen for the sound of thunder. If you hear it, suspend the game and clear the field, and have everyone immediately go to a safe shelter .... 2. Watch for lightning. If you see lightning, suspend the game and clear the field, and have everyone immediately go to a safe shelter ..... 3. If you see or hear a thunderstorm coming or your hair stands on end, immediately suspend the game and clear the field, and have everyone immediately go to a safe shelter. Do not wait until it rains.

REPORTING SCORES: The score system has been revised so only the winning team needs to report it, though either can. There was some miscommunication, and the change was made effective before we had an opportunity to revise the instructions … even though only one team can report the score, each team should check to make sure it has been correctly reported … if it is incorrect, the two teams, and their clubs, should work to resolve the difference

REFEREES... Beginning spring, 2012, 6v6 matches will utilize the three-man referee system ... so to be clear, all matches will be officiated by the three-man system ... Referees will receive $26 for a 6v6 match ... each Referee's Ass't for a U-10 match will receive $17; for U-08 and U-09 matches, $15

U-08 and U-09 GUEST PLAYERS: There has been some uncertainty concerning U-08 and U-09 guest players. To clarify, in addition to guesting for a team within its own age group, U-08 aged players can guest only for U-09 teams, and U-09 aged players can guest only for U-10 and U-11 teams. Refer to the guest player rules for all the provisions to which U-08 and U-09 teams are subject. FYI, there has not been any revision to what has been in place since fall.

IN-SEASON TOURNAMENT ... For the foreseeable future, there will not be an in-season tournament

The Operations Committee has enacted a rule requiring each team to play its home matches on its club’s field; that is, those fields within the generally acknowledged geographic area in which the club is based, serves, or already has fields ... this rule is intended to address a club accommodating an “independent” team by having it play through it, but permitting the team to play on its own field, rather than the club’s

The Board of Governors has voted to establish 'The Spirit of CUSL' as the policy and procedure for CUSL. This document reflects the standards that were the founding principles of CUSL. You may print a copy of the 'The Spirit of CUSL' from the Rules Guide Section in the navigation area. It is recommended that all members of CUSL read and understand this policy and procedure.

With respect to reporting scores, re-scheduling matches and other web site functions, we want to remind you that each club is responsible for instructing its teams in the use of all web site functions. So when a coach/team contact is in need of help, he/she should first talk to their club representative; and if that is not done, don't be offended when that is what you are told to do by the Boys or Girls Director.
