Indoor League: A co-ed indoor league is currently forming. The point of contact is: Charles Portner. He can be reached at 623-5818, pager 640-6100. The league runs from the end of March through May. Games will be on Thursdays and Saturdays at either Cape Henry Collegiate or Green Run High School. Futsal rules apply. Roster size is 12 players, games are 5-a-side. No-swap roster. The cost is $600/team.

Player Passes: Referees will be checking player passes against the team rosters before games. Please ensure all players have valid cards. Any team found playing with unregistered players will automatically forfeit that game.

Registration Fee Refund Rule: The Board of Directors has made an official ruling on the issue of how to administer refunds for players who become ill or injured during or prior to the first game of the season and who are then unable to play for the entire season. The ruling states that a refund of the registration fee, less a $10 charge for insurance and administrative fees, will be given to a player in the event that the player:

1) becomes sick or injured prior to or during the first game of a given season for which she has registered and this injury or sickness precludes her from playing the entire season

2) applies for the refund during the season which she has missed due to her illness or injury.

No retroactive refunds will be given. This ruling will go into effect beginning with the Fall '99 season.

Returned Check Fee: The returned check fee has been raised from $10.00 to $15.00. Any player who bounces a registration fee check will have their playing privileges revoked until all fees are paid in full.

Rainout Number for Outdoor Seasons: If you are not sure whether games are being played due to weather conditions, please call 518-5176. This number will also inform you what number field your games are on.
