In-town Program General Guidelines

•·  All coaches, players and spectators should be along the SIDELINES during games, not at the endlines.

•·  In the Junior and Senior Divisions, parents and spectators should be on one sideline, with coaches and players on the opposite sideline (see the map on the reverse side.)

•·  Coaches, parents, and players should NOT be DIRECTING play or YELLING from the sidelines. Coaches should communicate with their players while the players are resting on the sidelines, not during the game/scrimmage.  This coaching from the sidelines is distracting to all on the playing field.

•·  The REFEREE (or Coach acting as Referee) will control the field of play with the appropriate calls; assistant coaches and/or parents may help with the out of bounds, but the referee has the final say.

•·  No SLIDE TACKLING;  if slide tackling occurs, it will result in a direct kick for the other team.

•·  All players should receive EQUAL playing time;  Goalkeeping duties should be shared by at least FOUR players in one game.

•·  FUN and GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP are the guiding principles of Hingham Youth Soccer.
