League Information

1. Team Sign Up: All teams that fully register (money, med. form, and roster) will reserve their postion in the league, with priority going to returning teams. If more than 14 teams sign up for the women's league, a lottery drawing will take place following the meeting in order to complete the league structure. The teams that are not chosen will be placed on a waiting list. They may be called upon to replace a team that does not function properly in the league. Teams for the league may consist of 11 to 15 players, each over the age of 15.
2. Players who are not a part of the league will not be permitted to play under any circumstances, including forfeit games. A non-registered player found playing in any official games will result in the immediate forfeiture of the game for that team.
3. Only players are allowed on the field on game nights. Please ask your fans to stay off the turf (not just off the field) during game play.
4. The minimum number of players per team is 11. The fee is $50 per player until May 4. After this date, there will be a $5 late fee. Register even earlier to insure that you will receive the requested size shirt. The maximum is 16 players.
5. Players may not switch to a different team once the season has begun. Players who have played in any games will remain on the roster and cannot be replaced with different players. If a team begins the season without the maximum15 players, additional players can be added into the empty spaces by turning in medical forms and entry fees. This can be done until June 9th, 2008.
6. At the midpoint of the season, or for playoffs, teams may be switched to a different division if a team's overall skill level warrants it. Division 1 contains higher skilled, experienced players. Division 2 is a more recreational division, containing teams with players who have little previous soccer experience.
7. Delinquent teams may be removed form the league at midseason. Any team acquiring more than 2 forfeits before the midpoint of the year may be removed in order to protect the integrity of the league.
8. Schedules for the first half of the season will be provided to the team captains at their initial match. Team records and standings will be posted on a weekly basis beginning in mid June.
9. All teams in good standing will be included in the playoffs.
10. SVASL shirts cannot be altered with additional advertising.
11. Game balls will be provided by the league, but will not be available for warm ups.
