This is so important for me to make sure you have the right amount of people at each game...I can react on Friday morning to work on getting subs (league members only).
****IF YOU DO NOT RSVP BY THE WEEKLY DEADLINE, IT WILL MAKE THIS REALLY TOUGH...SO PLEASE MAKE THIS IMPORTANT
IT'S JUST ONCE A WEEK AND TAKES ONE MINUTE
YES, NO
**NOTE: There is a maybe option, which I hope you will avoid, but if you do a "maybe", please provide a short explanation on when you will be updating this to a "yes" or "no"..and you must follow thru. A "non" updated "maybe" becomes unhelpful)
NOTE - If you have to change your status last minute, I realize things happen, please do so on the team page. DO NOT BE A "YES" ALL THE WAY AND NO SHOW!!!
*****INSTRUCTION -----
YOU WILL GET YOUR WEEKLY AUTO GAME ANNOUNCEMENTS MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS. I WILL SEND A DIRECT MESSAGE ON THURSDAY MORNING TO FOLLOW UP BY THURSDAY EVE.
****I NEED ALL RSVP's BY THURS EVE, AT THE LATEST****
30 seconds of your time per week and respecting this league policy is very important!!!******
PLEASE NO "I FORGOT", "I WAS TOO BUSY"...THIS ASK IS SO EASY AND SO IMPORTANT FOR ME TO MANAGE THE NUMBERS...WHICH IS KEY TO EACH PLAYERS PLAYING TIME.
EVERY GAME YOU ARE DICTATED "DARK" or "WHITE". IMPORTANT THAT IF DARK..IT MUST BE SOLID "VERY DARK"...IF WHITE, IT MUST BE "VERY WHITE".
****NO RED. GRAY, LIGHT BLUE, ORANGE, HOT PINK, ETC, ETC. IF YOU DON'T GO DARK or WHITE, IT MAY BE CONFUSING AND THE REF MAY ASK YOU TO SIT.
I, YOUR LEAGUE COORDINATOR AM AVAILABLE JUST ABOUT ALL THE TIME. PLEASE E-MAIL ME AT CHAMPSPLAYLEAGUE@GMAIL.COM
PLEASE DO NOT USE THE TEAM PAGE FOR CORRESPONDENCE TO ME
WE ARE AN EQUAL PLAYING TIME LEAGUE. (with the possible exception of the keepers). I HELP THE SUBBING IF NEEDED, BUT I THINK THE PLAYERS CAN DO THIS FAIRLY.
****IF YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO STAY IN THE WHOLE GAME AND REDUCE OTHERS TIME, THIS WILL NOT WORK***
BEING LATE TO YOUR GAMES AFFECTS THE WHOLE TEAM AND THE WHOLE GAME. IF YOU ARE LATE AND THE TEAM IS NOW SHORT, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU MAY BE A NO SHOW.......THEN I GET A SUB FOR YOU....THEN YOU SHOW UP. AS I WILL NOT TELL THE SUB "NO THANKS" AT THAT POINT, IT WILL MEAN LESS PLAYING TIME FOR EACH TEAMMATE BECAUSE YOUR WERE LATE.
***PLEASE ALLOW FOR BAD TRAFFIC..IT'S ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY...AND PARKING***
NOTE - I'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME AND THOSE THAT WARM UP REDUCE THEIR POSSIBILITY OF INJURY..BIG TIME!!
***EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE A GREAT SPORT OUT THERE AND NOT PLAY OVERLY PHYSICAL. THIS IS A NO TOLERANCE LEAGUE, FOR CONDUCT. OTHER LEAGUES MAY BE DIFFERENT OR NOT PROACTIVE ON THIS, BUT THE LC IS VERY PROACTIVE WITH THOSE THAT MAY BE AT A DIFFERENT SPORTSMANSHIP LEVEL***
IF YOU HAVE A "GRIEVANCE" WITH ANOTHER PERSON PLEASE BRING IT TO MY ATTENTION. I'M OBSERVANT...AND ALSO, IF POSSIBLE, YOU CAN REACH ME DURING THE WEEK, SO IT'S NOT IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT. THINGS WILL HAPPEN, BUT GREAT SPORTSMANSHIP IS A HUGE EMPHASIS IN OUR LEAGUE.
**GOOD REFS ARE HARD TO GET, SO ALWAYS BE PATIENT AND PLEASE UNDERSTAND.....THERE WILL BE CALLS THAT ARE WRONG AND DON'T GO YOUR WAY
IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE NOT IN THE LEAGUE THAT WANTS TO PLAY, PLEASE E-MAIL ME. IF THE TEAM LOOKS SHORT ON YOUR TEAM PAGE FOR AN UPCOMING GAME, ***I HAVE IT HANDLED***.
THIS IS THE CITY WE LIVE IN!
9) NO SLIDE TACKLING
SHIN GUARDS ARE NOT REQUIRED
LEAGUE NOTE - IT'S ALWAYS AN HONOR TO BE AROUND PEOPLE THAT LIKE TO PLAY THEIR SPORT, HELP YOUR WELLNESS AND BE SOCIAL ALL AT THE SAME TIME. AT CSL, NO ONE WORKS HARDER AT TRYING TO MAKE THIS A GREAT EXPERIENCE.
GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS AND REMEMBER....
"IT'S ONLY A GAME!!!"
THANKS SO MUCH, RANDY
