*****Request for a specific coach, player grouping, etc. are not accepted*****

Referees
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 AND available. In the event a referee is not available a coach, assistant coach, or volunteer may act as a non-partisan referee.


Weather Related Cancellations

Referees, Coaches, and GSL Board members or designees are solely responsible for field wide cancellations as a result of severe weather at game time. Make up games are scheduled between coaches, and it is their responsibility to schedule a field and referees, if necessary. Make up games cannot be scheduled during regularly scheduled game times unless a field is available and verified with the registrar.


End of the Year Recreational Tournament
At the discretion of the GSL Board of Directors a year end tournament will be held for all U10 and older 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 will include awards.

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.
