League Information

Team level of play
Choose Select for a higher level/more competitive league.
Choose Recreation for a lower level. Please choose the level that will be the most fun for the players. Once schedules are set, we cannot move teams to another division.

Season Dates
The Spring 2024 season will run for 8 weeks starting the weekend of April 5/6/7 (no games May 24/25/26).

Schedules
Schedules will be available on the SAC website prior to the start of the season. All scheduling requests must be submitted to the SAC Scheduler at eric@sachc.org before schedules are released, no changes will be made after.

Age/Gender Requirements
Divisions are based on single birth year teams only, per the US Soccer Mandates.
Teams are GENDER based (no exception). There are no coed divisions.
Players are allowed to play up but may not play down in a lower age level.
No Carded Travel players are allowed to play; this is a recreation league.

Team Jerseys
SAC will issue each of its teams 2 jerseys: a WHITE/HOME jersey and a ROYAL/AWAY jersey. The schedule will have either a house symbol on it or column headers to denote the HOME team (depending on where you view it). If your team has the same jersey color, please be sure to work with your opponent prior to the game.

Heading
US Soccer has implemented mandates, effective January 1, 2016, which restrict the heading of a soccer ball for players aged 12 and under.

Sportsmanship Code of Conduct

Players
The game of soccer is for the players. SAC expects that the players in our program will always exhibit good sportsmanship and a sense of fair play. Players must understand that, when they participate, they are representatives of their soccer club as well as their team, coaches, parents and community. They should, therefore, act accordingly. All players should adhere to the following code of conduct:

• Treat all coaches, opponents, teammates, parents, and officials with respect
• Display self-control in all situations
• Avoid use of foul or abusive language
• Always play within the laws of the game (Fair Play).
• Shake hands with opponents at the conclusion of every game and refrain from such acts that would be considered disrespectful of an opponent.

Parents
Parents can have a significant impact, either positive or negative, on a child before, during and after a match. Parents must remember that the game is for the children and should be treated accordingly. Just as coaches and players are expected to exhibit good sportsmanship during the game, parents are expected to refrain from unsporting behavior on the sideline.

Parents are expected to:

• Maintain a positive sideline demeanor by not berating coaches, referees, or other players.
• Cheer positively. Your child’s teammates and opponents are young amateurs, not professionals. Cheer for good play and fair play on the part of all players.
• Let the coach, coach no matter how much you disagree with him or her.
• Act like an adult. Be positive, encourage all of the players, respect others and be a spectator.

Parents are expected to refrain from:

• Yelling directives at players and/or making rude or profane comments from the sideline.
• Coaching from the sideline.
• Providing negative encouragement to players (e.g., you’re not trying hard enough).
• Badgering/berating the referee and/or aggressively disputing calls and non-calls.
• Badgering/berating opposing players and/or their coach.
• Being critical of their own team’s play or that of an individual player on the team.
