A non-refundable deposit is required to register a team. Those teams already participating in leagues receive priority over new teams when registering for the next session. However, teams playing in current sessions must register and submit a non-refundable deposit at least three weeks prior to the next session’s starting date in order to guarantee themselves a spot in the next session.
Once the three-week deadline has passed, registration will be open to all teams that wish to play and the league will be filled on a first-come, first served basis. This policy only applies to teams that wish to continue playing in the same league. Any team not participating in a current league may be placed on a waiting list until 20 days before the next session when registration opens up to all teams that wish to play.
Full payment is required by the start of the first game of a session or the team will be assessed a late fee and possibly forced to forfeit. If full payment is not made by the start of the second game, the team will not be allowed to play any further games until the balance is paid in full. All members of a team are jointly responsible for the full payment of the team fee; however, it is the team captain who is ultimately held responsible in the case of overdue, unpaid balances.
Team managers are the representative for the team and are responsible for passing on any information that 422 SportsPlex needs to communicate to each team. The team manager is also responsible for seeing that all team fees are paid on time and ensuring that his or her team is aware of the rules of the game as well as 422 SportsPlex rules and policies.
Individuals that sign up will be placed in a 422 SportsPlex database where other teams may contact you to recruit you for their team. If you still are not on a team, the 422 SportsPlex will create a team from all the individuals in the database if enough players are available.
Teams are required to have matching uniforms. If a team does not have uniforms by the second game they will be required to purchase shirts from the SportsPlex. A “uniform” is at least defined by matching shirts with different numbers for each player, and numbers must be permanently affixed. Rubber molded cleats, turf shoes, and tennis shoes are allowed. Shin guards are required for all leagues. If there’s a conflict, the home team (listed first on the schedule) will change uniforms.
All players, rostered and guest, are required to have a 422 SportsPlex ID card in order to play in any adult league. ID Cards can be obtained at the front desk for $5.00. Valid photo identification with date of birth is required to obtain an ID Card.
Referees will collect the ID Cards at the beginning of each game and hand them back to the team at the end of each game. If a player receives a red card during or after a game, that player’s ID card will be confiscated and held in the front office until the player has served their suspension time. The card will then be given back to the player.
Players under the age of 18 may request an ID card but must go through a waiver process. The General Manager or the Adult Leagues Manager must meet with the player and their parent, and the parent must sign a waiver for their child to play. The 422 SportsPlex has the right to deny any player an ID Card.

A player may only be added after the third game if an unforeseen circumstance occurs such as but not limited to injury or relocation and a rostered player is unable to play for the remainder of the session. Proof of hardship must be provided in writing. Examples include a doctor’s note and employment acceptance letter.
Any player on a roster that is found to be illegal will forfeit all the games for the team during that season. It is the responsibility of the manager of the team to know which players are legal or illegal. Management reserves the right to check the identifications of any player on a player roster to check and see if they are legal players under management guidelines.
A game is considered “official” after one completed half of play. If there is an injury or other unforeseen circumstance such as a power outage, the current score will stand as official once a half has been played.
Team captains must call or email the 422 SportsPlex to inform them of the forfeit (players cannot cancel a game, only the team captain). The SportsPlex will then notify the other team. If a team shows up to play and the opposing team does not show up, then the team present will win by forfeit. In the case of a forfeited game, players from the teams are normally allowed to use the field, to practice, scrimmage, etc. However, 422 SportsPlex reserves the right to use the field, at that time, for other activities at the discretion of management.
Forfeiture will be incurred if a team has failed to field the minimum number of players (4 player minimum) within ten minutes from the start of the game clock. If at any point during the game if a team can not field 4 players, the team will forfeit. This includes playing down due to yellow cards, red cards, or injuries.
Teams incurring forfeitures during a session may not be allowed to play in subsequent sessions. A game clock will not stop once it has started, and it will not be reset if a team shows up late. Any team no show will result in a 3-0 victory for opposing team and no rescheduled game will be given.
After the first forfeit, the team that forfeited will receive a warning. The second forfeit, a $50 fine. If a team forfeits three times in one season, they’ll be pulled from the league, all money paid will be lost, and the team will have to pay in full at the time of registration for all future leagues.s

It will be the team manager’s responsibility to coordinate and select one of the available times and confirm the new game time. Failure to do so will result in the game being forfeited. The 422 SportsPlex is not responsible for teams that neglect this rule and fail to notify the opposing team that they are not going to make a scheduled game. 422 SportsPlex does not guarantee that all rescheduling requests will be honored.
Individuals are expected to play under control and within the rules of the game, and to the best of their ability will avoid causing injury to themselves and other persons using the facility.

Teams that violate this rule will be given a warning for having too many players on the field by the referee. If a team has been warned but continues to ignore this rule, then the referee will award a direct kick to the opposing team from the point of infraction.

Any team that continues to make illegal substitutions after the opposing team is awarded a free kick will be given a team yellow card.
Teams may substitute for the goalkeeper during play. The referee should be notified of a change in a goalkeeper. Play will stop for goalkeeper substitution at the referee’s discretion. Penalty for failure to notify official of keeper substitution will result in a loss of possession.
All free kicks are DIRECT.
In 6v6 play, the defensive team must retreat automatically 3 yards from the ball and keep that distance until the ball is kicked.

Penalty Kicks
Penalty kicks shall be taken from the top of the penalty area. The keeper may move side-to-side on the goal line but not forward until the ball is kicked.

Yellow Card Policy: Any player that receives a yellow card will be sent off for a two-minute penalty. The team of that carded player shall play a person down for the duration of those two minutes. The 2-minute timer begins when the ball is played after the caution is administered. If a team receives a team yellow card, the manager shall pull one player off the field to serve the mandatory two-minute penalty. The referee shall keep track of the two-minute penalty and inform the penalized team when the penalty is completed, at which time the team shall play at full strength.

A yellow card will be given for consistent spitting. If a player continues to spit on the field after being warned, the referee reserves the right to issue said player a yellow card. NO SPITTING will be tolerated.
Red Card Policy: Any player that receives a red card shall be sent completely off the playing area and shall not return. If a player receives a yellow card and receives a second yellow card or a red card while on the bench serving the two-minute penalty, the team shall play the rest of the game a player down.
Any player that is red carded for their conduct on the bench shall be sent completely out of the facility and shall not return. They may not sit on the sideline and watch the remainder of the game. If you receive a red card you must exit the facility and not return until your next scheduled game after a red card suspension has been served. The team does not play down a person. If a team receives a team red card, the manager shall pull one player off the field and the team shall play the rest of the game one player down.
A player or coach that is red carded during or after a game by a referee will automatically be suspended for the next game of the league in which they received the red card. For example, if a player is red carded on a Tuesday, he or she will not be eligible to play until the Wednesday of the following week. In addition, the player will be banned from playing on any other team until the suspension has been served.
