TEAM ASSIGNMENT

New teams will be formed for the fall 2007 season immediately following the end of the registration period. These teams will remain together for the spring 2008 season.

To ensure fairness, League Commissioners randomly assign each player to a team. Coaches are provided team rosters and player contact information. Each coach contacts team members to provide players with practice and game information. Coaches are solely responsible for deciding practice times. There are no RAYSL restrictions limiting the number of practice sessions per week or the length of each practice session. Two practices per week of 60 – 90 minutes are recommended.

All players should be contacted by their coach at least one week before the first scheduled game date. Coaches should have a minimum of two practices prior to their first game.


GAME DATES, TIMES, AND LOCATION

Teams play two games each Saturday. Game start times are scheduled between 8:30 am and 4:00 pm. Coaches will provide each team’s specific game schedule. The fall 2007 season games will be played on the following Saturdays: 9/22, 9/29, 10/6, 10/13, and 10/20. Make-up games will be played on 10/27. All games are played at Rolla Lions Soccer Park.

EQUIPMENT

Shin guards and long socks that completely cover the shin guards are mandatory. Soccer cleats are preferable but not mandatory. Jewelry of any kind is not permitted. The league provides a team jersey for each player during the fall season. Players on teams formed during the fall 2007 will remain together for the spring 2008 season and they will not be issued new team jerseys for the spring 2008 season.
