50% Play Rule
This is just a reminder to all the coaches that
Bay City Youth Soccer Club is a recreational club and that their is a 50% play
rule for all of our games. This means that each child must play at least 50% of
the game. The only exceptions to this are in cases of medical reasons and for
U-12 and up disciplinary reasons. If you have a player that is not going to play
at least 50% of the game you must inform the referee as well as the other teams
coach as to the players name and number and the reason they will not be playing
half the game.
Three Events per week
We ask all of our coaches to limit your teams to 3 events per week. That
means, 3 practices, or 2 practices and one game or scrimmage, or 2 practices and
a tournament.
