Game Rescheduling Process for U6 – U12 Games

 

 

 

 

In the event that U6-U12 make-up games need to be scheduled, the following procedure shall be used:

 

 

 

(1)  The Home and Visiting team coaches shall informally coordinate a new date and time for the makeup game.  The Regional Commissioner or Area Coordinator for the Home Team Coach must be consulted to determine the potential availability of a field at a particular date and time.

 

 

 

(2)  Once the Home and Visiting team Coaches have informally agreed to having a makeup game at a particular date and time, the Home Team Coach shall contact his/her Age Group Coordinator or Regional Commissioner who will formally reserve the particular field for the specified date and time.  Coaches may not formally reschedule games on their own.  In addition, the Area Coordinator or Regional Commissioner shall contact the Referee Assignor responsible for the particular Area to arrange for referee coverage of the make-up game.

 

 

 

(3)  The Referee Assignor responsible for the particular Area shall assign a Referee, or Referee Team as appropriate, to officiate at the makeup game.  Coaches or Age Group Coordinators shall not attempt to assign a referee to the make-up game

 

 

 

(4)  If the makeup game needs to be rescheduled, the process outlined in steps 1-3 shall be followed.

 

 

 

(5)  If the makeup game is to be held outside of the Home Team’s area, other Regional Commissioners may be consulted to determine the potential availability of a field, as appropriate.  In this instance, the Regional Commissioner who has control over that field shall formally reserve the field and contact the appropriate Referee Assignor for Referee coverage of the game.

 

 

 

(6)  Area or League-wide cancellations due to inclement weather are special cases which are dealt with using a variation of the above process.  In many instances, the Regional Commissioner may elect to reschedule a block of games for the same field and time, but on a different date.  The Regional Commissioner shall inform the appropriate Home Team Coaches of the block of schedule changes.  In addition, the Regional Commissioner shall contact the Referee Assignor with responsibility for that Area to arrange for Referee coverage of the makeup games.
