Other Items
-
No games are played on national holidays.
-
BOTH CLUBS/COACHES AGREE to play on Turf field on April 3rd. Not all clubs will agree to do it even if there is a turf field available. Sometimes they refuse to do it because the team has not had a practice together yet and the coach has not met all the players. Usually this happens if we've had an especially harsh winter and the fields are still under snow or even under water. It's happened twice in the last six years where the fields were under water because of nonstop rain.
-
Reason for stretching the window farther for turf field games is because it is almost impossible to hold games for U19 after Memorial Day Weekend.
-
A game reschedule during the season is almost impossible for U17+ teams. Therefore, if we can clinch some of those games on the early side, we are better for it.
