WAIVER/ROSTER INFORMATION
High School Summer League Waiver & Roster Information (Players & Coaches)
This will remain open through the summer as your roster is not frozen and players can be added as needed.
Rosters are available from the home page of the FSA website. Select "TEAMS" from the horizontal navigation menu options and then select the appropriate dropdown menu options for your team. Once you are on your team's page click on the "Roster" option located on the left hand menu. (player linked to the roster must be logged in to the website to view a detailed team roster; this information is not available to the public)
Because this league is used as preparation for your team's season, if your school enters multiple teams, players will be allowed to double roster for teams playing in the same division if needed. All rostered players must attend the high school of the summer league team they play for. League is open to incoming freshmen - seniors for the upcoming school year.
GAME CANCELATIONS
Teams cancelling games after the season schedules have been published should expect that there will be no refunds offered for the game. We will do what we can to reschedule, however once leagues start we have very limited open time. There are no guarantees that these games will be made up.
We will play in the rain, however, if we need to cancel due to thunderstorms/lightning we will attempt to reschedule (Results will stand for games cancelled after the completion of the first half). Make up games may occur on a different days/times than what is stated in the projected schedule.
Thunder & Lightning Delay Policy:
If there are lightning delays:
· One single air horn means clear the fields. If you hear the single air horn sound, you must clear the fields for 30 minutes. Strikes occurring during the delay will restart the 30 minute clock. Please remain in your vehicle for the entire duration of the delay. When the air horn sounds for three consecutive times, it means all teams should re-take the fields, immediately.
If a lightning delay occurs during a game:
If, due to a lightning delay a game does not resume during the game slot, or is not completed by the end of this time slot, the following procedures will be in place:
· If the first half has been played in full, the game will be considered complete and over.
· If the game is in the first half, the game will be rescheduled to a later date
· If the game does not kick off, the game will be rescheduled to a later date
If a game is suspended due to a lightning delay in the first half and resumes within the allotted time slot:
· Play will resume where the game left off. With that understanding, halftime will be reduced to one minute and as much of the second half should be played within the remaining time slot. Warm up time will be at the referee’s discretion (who may consult with the coaches).
Games delayed due to lightning will be allowed to extend into the next time slot by a maximum of 15 minutes.
FORFEITS
Teams/players exhibiting overly aggressive play, fighting by players, coaches or parents, blatant fouls and repetitive displays of unsportsmanlike conduct are grounds for game suspension and forced forfeiture. Forfeiture based on this behavior is subject to the discretion of the staff and referees of FSA. Refunds will not be given for forfeited games for either team involved.
REFUNDS
Full refunds will be given in the event that the league does not have enough teams enrolled to occur which will result in cancelation of that a league. We will attempt to process all refunds within 2 weeks of the cancelation date.
Refunds will not be given on deposits to teams withdrawing on or after the posted registration deadline.
SCHEDULING REQUESTS (send e-mail to
)
Please make note that we respectfully ask that all of your special scheduling requests are submitted in writing by the registration deadline for the league. We reserve the right to refuse any scheduling request submitted after the start of the season.
Scheduling requests will be taken into consideration based on the following prioritization. These requests are not guaranteed to be granted but we will always do our best to accommodate as many reasonable requests as possible.
1. Avoid conflicts for coaches with multiple teams in the SAME group. Back to back when possible.
2. Specific days or time frames for games within the projected schedule. If a league is scheduled to be played on 2 days, you may request to have more on one day than the other, but we will most likely not be able to accommodate all for a single day.
3. To avoid specific date during the season that your team will not be available.
Requests we CANNOT accommodate:
1. Games at a particular time every week. We are not able to grant any requests as specific as 6:30 pm every Tuesday.
2. Having your season shortened by any amount of games and the price prorated. Request such as these skew the schedule of all of the other teams in the league.
3. We request that if ONLY the coach of your team is going to be out of town for a game, you make arrangements to have someone fill in for your coach instead of asking to reschedule or for a BYE.
UNIFORMS / EQUIPMENT
