Coach/Referee Game Report
Referees must complete this report form for every game. It is optional for coaches.

Registration/Team Formation
Children are separated by age and teams are formed by school when possible. No special requests will be honored except parents needing to coach together if their children are in the same age group. Siblings will automatically be placed together if they are in the same age group. No guarantees on team assignments are made. Registrations that are accepted after the deadline will be subject to a $10 late fee. After the deadline parents may call to find out if registrations are still being accepted in a particular age group. Late registrations will be placed on the team with the lowest number of players in order to fill that team’s roster. If an age group is full, a waiting list may be kept in case someone drops out.

Coach Meeting
Coaches will receive a packet with the team roster, schedules, certificates, rule book, and field locations map. They may also sign out a ball if needed, sign up for a practice time for the season, and take a Delta Township Coach shirt if desired. A reminder will be sent.
10-on-10: W, 5:30 p.m., 3/26/08
4-on-4: W, 6 p.m., 3/26/08

Volunteer Coaches Needed
This program relies on the help of parents to volunteer as coaches. Parents may indicate on the registration form if they would be willing to coach (parents would only be assigned to their own child’s team). If a team does not have a coach, everyone on that team will receive a letter asking for help. Hopefully one or more parents will volunteer, or else unfortunately the team will be dissolved and registration fees refunded. Coaches must pass a criminal background check.

Coach Background Checks
Background checks and training are required for coaches.

Which Program Should I Register For?
10-on-10 and 4-on-4 refers to how many children are playing on the field at a time; for example 4-on-4 plays with 3 field players and 1 goalie. We broadly group everything not 4-on-4 into one large group called 10-on-10. In actuality, your age group may play 7-on-7, 8-on-8, or 11-on-11 depending on field size. Which group you register for is totally personal preference based on field location or what team size you think is better for your child.
