SPECTATOR POLICY
- Fields will have a dotted line in which parents / spectators should sit/stand behind. If the dotted line is not visible, spectators should remain at least 3 yds from the sideline.
- Spectators will be asked to sit on the half of the field across from the bench of the team they are supporting. No spectators are allowed behind the goals.
- If a parent or spectator is dismissed from a game, tournament authorities have the right to ban the individual from the complex for the remainder of the tournament as well as sanction team and/or coach. We understand parents / spectators are probably traveling from a distance to be here, but if they cannot be respectful while watching the game, poor behavior will not be tolerated.
- Under NO circumstances should a parent or spectator enter the field of play. This behavior is not acceptable. If a parent or spectator enters the field of play, the entire team may be dismissed from the tournament and the team and/or coach may face sanctions.
PRACTICE TIME BOOKING
We are pleased to offer practice times for teams the day before the competition begins. Practice times will be booked on a first come, first serve basis. All practices will take place on turf fields only, no practices can take place on grass fields.
Practice times can only be booked on July 5th.
Due to availability, teams are only able to book half a turf field for one hour time blocks. Bookings start at 8 a.m. and the last time slot starts at 8 p.m.
