Registration Deadline

Teams must be declared by March 21st.

Home Team Match Day Standards

Fields should be the best available fields in the area. Grass fields are preferred, but due to the nature of the summer timeframe, artificial grass fields are more than adequate to assure matches are played as scheduled.
Athletic trainers are optional but recommended.
All benches should be covered adequately with tents.
Water stations must be present for each match; it is recommended that the host team provide adequate cups for the visiting team.
SCCL signage is recommended but not required for Summer League.
Referees should arrive no later than 30 minutes prior to kickoff and must verify that all players and staff have a valid US Club Soccer player/staff pass.
Game sheets will be printed from GotSoccer. Players names can be handwritten on the roster, but no changes to the roster can take place once the match begins. All players must have a valid US Club Soccer player pass.
All players must have a unique jersey number on the back of the jersey (Goalkeepers do not need numbers).

Summer League Player Pass Rules

U11-12 Teams

U11-12 will be treated as a pool of players with Rosters set prior to the game.
All players added to the roster must be registered through US Club Soccer and the club they are participating in for the Summer League.
Players can play in two games a day.
A player can be written onto the game card as long as they present the referee with a valid US Club Soccer player pass with their club’s name on it.

U13-19 Teams

Rosters should be set prior to the game.
All players added to the roster must be registered through US Club Soccer and the club they are participating in for the Summer League.
Teams may club pass 5 players per game.
Club Passing:
- Players can be club-passed within the same division.
- Players can be club-passed to a division higher than the one they are currently registered for the summer league.
- Players can be club-passed to an older age than they were rostered on for the summer league.
- If a player is rostered on an older team than their birth year, they can club pass to the team that is the same as their birth year. For example, a 2006 player is rostered on the 2005 team. He/she can be club passed to the 2006 team.
- Players cannot be club-passed to a lower division than they are rostered for the Summer league.
Players can play in two games a day.
A player can be written onto the game card as long as they present the referee with a valid US Club Soccer player pass with their club’s name on it.

Referees

All host clubs must strive to provide the highest-level referees available.
All games require 3 referees (1 – Center Referee; 2 – Assistant Referees). See the matrix
below for the referee fee matrix.
The host club will pay referees directly in whatever manner they prefer; host clubs will
always cover the full cost of the referees unless otherwise directed by the SCCL.
