Thank you all for you interest in the upcoming 2009 West Suburban Soccer League. This is the WSSL information for this year. Please read this entire document…

 

§         We will have 14 teams participating in the league this year. 

 

§         The referee coordinator will e-mail everyone detailing the weekly schedule. Please note:

o       Referee’s should bring different colored jerseys

o       The coordinator will include the cell phone # for the referee on the weekly e-mail (if available)

o       Referees should identify the “Captain of the Day” for each team. These are the people who represent the team and can address issues.

o       If there is an issue – poor sportsmanship, red cards etc., the referee needs to report this to the  Referee Coordinator who will report to League Directors so the situation can be handled.

o       Referees will be paid $60 per game. 

 

3. The “SCHEDULE” is attached. Games time begins at 4:00pm, on Saturday’s. Please note that games after September 30 will start at 3:00pm.    Also some teams have different start time when playing at home because of home field availability restrictions. They are:

 

·        Oak Park Soccer Club – Home game start at 6:00pm

·        Forest Park Olympique - Home game start at 6:00pm

·        Elmhurst Arsenal/United - Home game start at 3:00pm

·        Elmhurst Barcelona - Home game start at 6:00pm

 

4. Our insurance carrier is preparing the Certificates of Insurance, based on information that has been passed on to us. If you need to make changes, be advised that it can take up to 15 days.  

 

5. It is important that all coordinators share and explain the rules with players on their team.

 

6. Players are reminded to bring a form of identification to each game. If there is a question about age, it should be discussed and resolved between the team coordinators – before the game starts.  According to our rules, players must be over 35 years of age in 2010 – This means anyone born on or before 12/31/1975 is eligible to play. The rule is “NO ID – NO PLAY!”.

 

7. If there are any changes to your team information as the year progresses, please let us know and we will update this file and e-mail to all team coordinators. Information is also available on the website maintained by Joe Messina from Lombard. Website:   http://home.comcast.net/~yomanjm

 

Finally, we would like to thank all of you for your assistance and cooperation with getting everything set up. We hope all of the league players have a great, safe season. If you have any problems that come up during the season that need attention, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thanks again and take care…

FINES: <back to top>


 IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR 2010

ENFORCEMENT OF FINES FOR GRAVE AND SEVERE VIOLATIONS

 

In 2010, the league will continue to enforce fines for grave and severe incidents and red cards.

 

The type of events leading to fines is not directly linked to red card although in most cases a red card should be issued or have been issued when such incident occurs. It is also important to note that most red cards will not lead to fines: only the incidents that fall into that category. Red cards are regulated by the normal FIFA rules and examples of red cards which will NOT lead to fines include: voluntary hand balls, 2 yellows (unless the yellow also falls into a “fineable event category”, foul by the last defender and any foul not falling into the “fineable event” category.

 

Please understand the “spirit” of establishing that enforcement: it is to eliminate the grave abuses that rarely occur.

 

Fineable events

 

These are events that can occur prior, during or after the games that lead to fines levied against the offending team. While the fine will be caused by an individual team member or associate, it is not a player fine but a TEAM fine and it is the team’s captain duty to decide how he wants to enforce it within his team.

 

Category 1 Events - Base fine $50.00

 

These are the most severe events that can occur and I hope will never occur: it is for outrageous violation and violence. This includes, but is not limited to:

 

·        Physical altercation with a referee. Any physical contact with a ref falls into that category.

·        Severe physical altercation with another player.  This includes brawls after a fouls was called and continued violence after an altercation was identified.

·        Any severe incident that is deemed to fall into category #1 by the referee, referee coordinator or commissioner.

 

Category 2 Events - Base fine $20.00

 

These events are severe and fineable but are not as outrageous as to fall into category #1 events.  This includes, but is not limited to:

 

·        Verbal abuse at a referee (but no physical contact as these would fall in cat #1).

·        One time violent and malicious act against an opponent leading to a red card.

·        Any severe and repeated violation that leads to red card and that is reported by the ref as a fineable event.


 

Reporting

 

Any red card and/or fineable event must be reported by the referee AND BOTH team captain to the commissioner and include the name of the players involved and a description of the events.

 

Appeal

 

Any fineable event can be appealed by the team captain via email to the league commissioner.  If no agreement on the fine or resolution can be reached, the referee coordinator and league commissioner will convene an independent review panel of 3 team captains not involved in the incident. The panel’s decision will not be appealable.

 

Repeat Offenses

 

If any team that is assessed 3 Category 2 fine within a season, any and all subsequent fineable event will be assessed at the Category 1 level.      If any team has 2 Category 1 fine within a season, all subsequent fines will be doubled ($100 per incident).   If a team has 4 Category 1 fine, all subsequent fines will be $1,000.00 per incident (and we all basically are going to play with cheap insurance next year courtesy of that team!)

 

Fine Usage

 

All fine collected will used toward the league insurance cost the following year, de facto reducing the league cost for all (except the offending teams).

 

Escrow

 

All team are required to pay $100 as escrow payment toward the possible fines before the season starts.  If a team incurs a fine, it is its responsibility to send the money necessary to restore the escrow account as soon as feasible.  Any team whose escrow account is depleted may be suspended from the league.  Any money left over from escrow will be refunded to the team captain or carried over the following season (this is be the team captain’s decision).  All interest earned by the escrow $$ in the interest paying bank account (0.05% per year) will go for a down payment toward the purchase of a candy bar for the commissioner.

League Rules: <back to top>

 

·         Home team supplies the referee. The referee coordinator is Dick Quathamer at 847/488-9956. His address is 38W160 Tipi Lane, Elgin, Illinois 60123. The home team should confirm the referee assigned for the game. The referee coordinator will provide the referee’s assigned with a list of the team coordinators.

 

·         Both teams are to split the referee fees, which will be $60 per game. If there is a “no show” on behalf of the teams, the referee is to be compensated.

 

·         Players must be at least 35 years old. It is up to each team coordinator to enforce the age requirement. As a courtesy, and in the “spirit” of good sportsmanship, team coordinators should advise the opposing team of players under 35 (born after 12/31/1975)  prior to the beginning of the game. Players must bring a form of identification to each game. If there is a question about age, it should be discussed and resolved between the team coordinators.  The rule is “NO ID – NO PLAY!”.  Note: If a team is short players, persons from the opposing team should be offered a spot to play on the team that is short players. This should be done prior to allowing any under age players to participate.

 

§         If the League Coordinator receives a complaint about underage players, one warning will be issued to the Team Coordinator in violation of the age rule. If another complaint is received, the team violating the age rule will no longer be allowed to participate in the league.

 

§         Shin-guards are required.
