MANDATORY COACHES' MEETING

CASL will hold a mandatory coaches' meeting prior to the start of each soccer season.  The purpose of this meeting is to distribute draft schedules, rosters, player and team official passcards, and game report forms, review the draft schedules with other division teams, update the membership regarding CASL activities, etc.  If a coach is unable to attend, another representative of the team (spouse, asst. coach, manager, or parent) must be present to receive the team packet and to participate in a review of the draft schedule with other teams in their division.  Upon reviewing the draft schedules, coaches or team representatives should be prepared to discuss scheduling conflicts and game change requests with the other coaches/team representatives in their respective divisions prior to the adjournment of the coaches' meeting. 

 

SEASON SCHEDULES AND RESCHEDULING PROCEDURES

Draft schedules will be distributed at the mandatory coaches' meeting.  Teams in each division will meet at the coaches' meeting to try to resolve any scheduling conflicts that night.   Teams have 5 days immediately following the seasonal coaches' meeting to provide game change requests (that have been agreed to by both teams) to the league scheduler for inclusion in the final schedule.  No rescheduling fees will be assessed during the grace period; however, all changes must be finalized (coaches have agreed on a reschedule date and have notified the CASL Scheduler of the date) by the end of the grace period.  Schedules are considered FINAL after the 5-day grace period has expired.  Any rescheduling requests received after the 5 days, will be considered late and subject to the game change procedures and fees.  Final schedules will be posted on the CASL Web site approximately 14 days following the mandatory coaches' meeting.

 

After the five-day grace period, teams will be allowed one additional rescheduling request prior to the start of the season.  A $10 rescheduling fee will be assessed and the change must be finalized prior to the start of the season.

 

Once the season begins, no reschedules will be allowed except for reschedules necessary for:

§         Unforeseen emergencies or tragedies (i.e., death of player, national emergency such as 9/11, etc.).

§         Cancellations due to weather or field-related conditions.

§         Correcting a scheduling error by the CASL Scheduler.

 

The Coach who initiates the rescheduling of a game is responsible to:

• Contact the opposing team's coach to see if they are willing to reschedule and arrive at a tentative alternate date, time and/or field.
• Contact the CASL Scheduler and inform the CASL Scheduler of the requested change.
• Re-contact the opposing coach once the CASL Scheduler has confirmed the game rescheduling.
• Forward the $10 rescheduling fee made payable to CASL to the CASL Scheduler if the reschedule is completed after the 5 (five) day grace period.  If fees are not received within 10 days following the playing of the rescheduled game, the game will be considered a forfeit by the team initiating the rescheduling and that team shall be subject to applicable forfeiture fines.

 

It is the responsibility of the CASL Scheduler to:

• Arrange for a field for the date you have agreed on dependent upon field availability.
• Contact the Referee Scheduler and ask that the referees be rescheduled.
• Confirm to both teams that the rescheduled game can or will be rescheduled (via phone, email, or inclusion on final schedule that is posted on the CASL Web site.
• Notify both teams if a scheduling error has been made and needs to be corrected and work with both teams to identify a mutually agreeable game reschedule.

 

In the event that games are cancelled due to weather or field-related conditions, the following reschedule procedures apply:

·         The home team must contact the away team within 7 (seven) days of the originally scheduled game to identify a mutually agreeable reschedule date.

·         The home team must notify the CASL Scheduler of the agreed upon reschedule date or the failure to reach agreement with the away team within 10 days of the originally scheduled game.

·         If the CASL Scheduler determines that one or both teams is not making a good faith effort to reschedule the game, he or she may recommend to the Board that one or both team forfeit the game.

 

All game changes and cancellations must be approved by the CASL Scheduler (this does not include games cancelled by the referee due to weather or field related conditions or other circumstances within his/her jurisdiction). A game changed or cancelled by a coach or team representative without approval or as otherwise allowed is not considered an official game and the team initiating the change may be charged with a forfeit and required to compensate any referees scheduled to officiate the originally scheduled game.
