Tulare AYSO ADULT REGION 5185

Tulare AYSO Adult League is a co-ed, recreational soccer league sponsored by AYSO Region 255 in Tulare Ca. The purpose of the league is to:

• Provide opportunities for every adult 18 to 30 to play adult soccer

• Develop Coaches, Referees and Volunteers

• Promote Sportsmanship

• Get everyone playing

• Support the love of the game

• Offer opportunities for adults to exercise through playing soccer

• Players must agree to follow our Code of Conduct and work to promote games that are safe, fair and fun.

Method of play

Since this is the first year of the Adult League it is difficult for us to have any idea of how many players will register. We will base the method of play on the numbers of players registered. 

All players MUST between the ages of 18-30 and be registered with Tulare AYSO Adult League and all fees must be paid in full to play. 

Use of unregistered players will result in a forfeit of the game in which the unregistered player played in.

Drop in style
Drop in style will be used for registration numbers as low as 6 players, up to as many as 20 players.  On game day teams will be drawn lottery style, for example if there are 6 players, there will be two teams, playing 3v3. If 8 players register, two teams playing 4v4, etc.  This means that team composition will change each week therefore no uniforms will be issued, instead pennies will be issued to each team. 

Field size will be adjusted to fit the number of players.  

If an odd number of players are registered or show up on game day, then one player will be asked to be the game official. The game official player will not be the same person two weeks in a row, every attempt will be made to have each player be the game official one time during the season. The game official will act as a basic referee calling offsides, when the ball is out etc. If there are no odd players then a registered volunteer may be the game official, or the teams will self govern and play a fair game without a game official. 
All teams will be COED. 

Matches will be played according to FIFA Laws of the Game rules, NAASA and AYSO National
Rules and Guidelines unless modified by these regulations.

No alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, or noise makers are allowed. Spectators or coaches
suspected of intoxication will not be allowed to participate in their scheduled matches.

All players will be required to wear shin guards and game appropriate clothing, no jewelry is allowed.
