SSJYSL - Coaches

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR COACHES!

Only team officials (coach, assistant coach, manager) with the proper credentials (coaches' passes) at check in are allowed to be on the team sideline.  PERIOD.  Arguing with referees about this could result in the ejection of another team official (with a pass) and disciplinary action by the board.  

Mailing Lists

We regularly send important information to all our coaches via email. Every coach, assistant coach and team manager listed on the teams webpage will automatically be included. The two main mailing lists are listed below. We have others but those two are the two with an online archive. If you have any problems with the mailing list please contact the Web Site Coordinator Claudio Fleiner at [click to show email].

Different Leagues - Different Rules

Playing against teams from other leagues

If you play against a team from another league you might be surprised to find that they use slightly different rules. This is usually not a problem for comp teams, but mainly for recreational leagues. In particular be aware of the following four cases:
  • Shoot-outs: some leagues do not allow a team to score if they lead by more than 4 or 5 goals or allow only goals kicked from outside the penalty area. If your team scores anyway you might get a stern talk from the referee.
  • Offside for U10: Rec leagues often do not use the offside rule with U10 teams (in our league all U10 teams play with the offside rule).
  • Direct free kicks for U10: Recreational U10 games are often played with indirect free kicks only.
  • 8 players for U10: All games between U10 teams of different leagues must be played with 8 players on each side, 9 is not an option (CYSA rule).
To avoid unpleasant surprises you should talk to the coach of the home team a few days before the game to find out all the details you need to know (where to play, is your team expected to help setup the field or cleanup after the game, how to find out if the game will be canceled due to rain, where to park, ...).

Team Web Page

Every SSJ team has its own web page on the leagues website. As a coach you can edit the webpage, for a short introduction please read the instructions.
