A big thank you to the coaches of Stansbury Soccer! We know you spend a great deal of time and effort working with our kids. You do a great job and we appreciate the talent and kindness you bring to the soccer field.

Coaches Information

The following describes Stansbury Soccer Club in more detail and answers many coaching questions. Please take time to review this information.

Registration
Coaches, please complete the following steps to complete team registration.
Players must submit a new registration form, including payment, to their coach.

1. Coaches submit all forms, including a team roster, to the club registrar during one of the registration events. At that time coaches can also pick up pictures and awards. (If you are not able to deliver the team packets and pick up pictures and awards, please send an assistant or team parent to do so.)

2. Coaches, if you are NOT coaching again and you have players who want to stay together, they CAN register as a team. For ease in transition, please try to find a replacement coach before turning in your team packet. If the team is not staying together, or some players do not wish to return to the same team, individuals may take their registration form and payment to one of the registration events or mail to:

Team Pictures

Team pictures are taken during the spring season only. "Fall only" teams will not receive a team picture. Stansbury Soccer provides one team photo for each player. If additional photos team or other are desired, individual players may order directly from the photographer.

Picture schedules will be announced at the beginning of the spring season.

Player registration fees includes the basic picture package. Please make team pictures a priority so each player can have the promised package.

The photographer will have team rosters at picture time. Players not on the roster will not be in the team picture. Please insure the team roster is accurate to avoid discrepancies and disappointment.

Pictures will be available for pick up by coaches at one of the registration events or at Equipment Return at the end of the spring season. If coaches cannot pick them up at one of these days, they should send a team representative to do it. Pictures should be distributed to the team following the last game of the season.

Awards

Awards will be available for pick up by coaches at one of the registration events or at Equipment Return at the end of the spring season. If coaches cannot pick them up on one of these days, they should send a team representative to do it. Awards should be distributed to the team following the last game of the season.

Inclement Weather – Game Cancellation Policy

It is the policy of Stansbury Soccer Club to cancel any game or practice at the FIRST sign of LIGHTNING.

We recommend playing through all other weather conditions. However, in some cases we have agreements not to play if the ground is extremely wet. We will advise you if your game is at one of those locations.

Both coaches must agree to cancel a game at least one hour prior to game time. If a game is canceled, the coaches must notify the referee coordinator so the referees can be contacted. If the referee coordinator is not notified, a referee will not be provided if the game is rescheduled.

Lightning Policy
In SAY and SSC, safety of players and participants is of the utmost importance. Soccer fields can be dangerous places during sever weather. In event of a lightning storm, all games and/or practices must be stopped until the danger has passed, no lightning for 30 minutes after the last sighting of lightning, or the last sound of thunder heard.

Game Rescheduling

If a game needs to be rescheduled, both coaches must agree on a date, time, and location. Most often, the rescheduled game will be held during one of the teams’ already scheduled practice time, thus ensuring field availability. Please contact your coordinators. Their numbers are on your schedule and your coaching bag.

If necessary the coaches should contact Mark Augustine to schedule a referee. U5 & U6 games are refereed by their own coaches.
