Playing field:

A. Size: Limitations as to the size of the field, height of corner flags, goal measurements, and the required markings of the field are in accordance with the FIFA rules of the game. (For Small Sided Games specification we follow USYSA Small Sided Games Guidelines)

B. Markings: The home club shall be responsible for visible, correct, and complete markings of the playing field. As well as use of correct Goal Size required for that particular age group as required.

C. Maintenance of order: The playing field is to be protected against encroachment by the public. The home club is responsible for any disorders that may arise from insufficient protection and supervision. Both clubs are responsible for the actions of their parents. Failure to control parents that result in any altercation, (verbal or physical), before, during, or after a match, will result in potential penalties (forfeits, fines, or both).

Non-appearance of Referee:

For U7-U14, If an assigned referee fails to appear, the managers/coaches of the competing teams MUST agree upon another referee for the game to be played, if necessary, by toss of a coin, who need not be officially registered as a referee (can be another coach or parent).

That person who is agreed upon must referee the whole game. Splitting of halves between the two teams is not recommended.

A game played under these conditions shall be considered as properly played. No scheduled game can be delegated to a friendly game. At the end of the game, the winning team must report the score or if tied, both teams must report the score as they normally would.

If both teams do not agree to select a person to officiate the game, BOTH teams shall be fined $50.00 and the game shall be rescheduled, unless it can be proven that one team did not agree to play.

For U15-19, Games are played with 1, 2 or a 3 person crew. If NO referee shows up, game is to be rescheduled. Follow Game Change Policy. (NO Fee will be charged for a game that is rescheduled due to no show of a referee.)

Uniforms:

Teams shall appear in uniform attire at all games. Players who do not follow this provision may be ordered off the field by the referee. He/She must order such player off the field if, in his opinion, the dress of the player may lead to errors in judgement. Where the colors of the two (2) competing clubs are the same, the home team must change or provide satisfactory identification marks. The home club shall not be penalized for loss of time when the colors conflict.

Heading:
Intentional heading for 11 and under players. CJSL will follow the USSF referee rules that are below.

Players in Under-11 programs and younger shall not engage in heading, either in practices or in games. Referees have been instructed by US Soccer of the following rule addition in the Under-11 age group and younger:
When a player deliberately heads the ball in a game, an indirect free kick should be awarded to the opposing team from the spot of the offense. If the deliberate header occurs within the goal area, the indirect free kick should be taken on the goal area line parallel to the goal line at the point nearest to where the infringement occurred. If a player does not deliberately head the ball, then play should continue.

Substitution Rules for Players Suspected of having a concussion in a League Match:

If a player is suspected of having a concussion, by the referees, team officials, or league officials, the player will be withdrawn from the game immediately.

A notation will be made on the game day roster, and the referee will include this in their referee report to be submitted to the League office. CJSL will suspend the player till the club fills out the concussion form and player is medically cleared.

Club/Team official will be required to complete the notification of possible concussion form, immediately after the game.

Clubs will be required to submit to CJSL, via email (mail to: office@cjslsocccer.com), proper medical clearance. Once the league receives the medical clearance from a Health Care Professional (MD, DO, or athletic trainer who is certified in concussions) the player will be activated and removed off the suspended list and he or she will be cleared to resume play.
