1.l Women 22 yrs. and over are welcome to play. We are a recreational/competitive league. Games can get physical, with soccer being the sport that it is, yet not dirty. We do not keep stats, however are striving to improve both individually and as teams.

Our league welcomes you and are glad you're here. We feel each of you are special and matter to God and us.

2. We will pray as teams before each game. Again, all team members are welcome.

3. Treat others with respect (on and off the field, REMEMBER THE GOLDEN RULE-DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU'D HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU)

4. PLEASE control your tongue! Refrain from swearing. We realize this is difficult, in a tense, competitive situation.

5. Team captains, apprentices are placed on your teams to go to with any questions or concertns, please utilize this line of communication

6. Just some general rules, UNIQUE TO OUR LEAGUE:

NO CLEATS! ALTHOUGH THE FACILITY ALLOWS IT, OUR LEAGUE DOES NOT!
TURF SHOES, RUNNING SHOES, OR INDOOR SOCCER SHOES ONLY.

NO SLIDE TACKLING! This is disallowed in many places of indoor and outdoor play, but absolutely, not tolerated here

One finger rule with the goalies: If she has one finger on the ball DON'T KICK IT!!!! This is a protective courtesy for our goalies hands and faces (or any other body part that may be close to your kicking foot)

Communication between teams!: If a team is short at the beginning of a game, both teams play a little short
until the duration of 10 min has expired. Subs for games need to be either committed to the league
(already paid for a team or on a sublist via Lynda Fabry)

When one team is ahead by 4 or 5 points, the winning team SHOULD NOT try to score.
Some ideas to address this: "switch up" your offense and defense and implement a
"pass only" game. Allow only defensive players, the opportunity to score.

All players must wear the Kensington League jerseys provided by Oakland Yard.

Failure to adhere to these guidelines will result in the evaluation by the soccer league
'champion' as well as the sports ministry of Kensington Community Church.

WE PRAY YOUR SOCCER EXPERIENCE WITH US IS A SAFE AND PLEASANT
ONE WITH HEALTHY COMPETITION, FUN AND FELLOWSHIP
