Player Placement
Players are randomly placed on teams based upon age. U5 and U6 teams are co-ed. All other teams are gender specific. Placement is done via a computer program.
*****Request for a specific coach, player grouping, etc. are not accepted*****
U8 games are refereed by a coach/assistant coach/ or volunteer all of whom must have a valid Risk Management Card.
U10 – U14 games are refereed by USSF certified referees when possible. In 2009 nearly 90% of games had at least a center referee. In the event a referee is not available a coach, assistant coach, or volunteer will act as a non-partisan referee.
Weather Related Cancellations
Referees and GSL Board members or designees are solely responsible for any and all cancellations. Make up games are done between coaches and it is their responsibility to schedule a field and referees if necessary. Make up games can not be scheduled during regularly scheduled game times.
Alpine Cup Tournament
At the discretion of the GSL Board of Directors a year end tournament will be held for all U10 through U14 teams providing there are enough teams in each age/gender division to support a bracket. This tournament is run in similar fashion to many MSYSA sponsored events and includes trophies and medals.
Player Transfer
A player that has registered for recreational soccer is not allowed to transfer to a U10, U11, or U12 travel team, nor will they be allowed to join a travel team after the recreational season concludes. They will be allowed to be a guest player at a tournament for a travel team as long as it does not interfere with a scheduled league game.
The above information can be reviewed and changed at any time by the Gaylord Soccer League Board of Directors.
