Uniforms

We have upgraded our uniform package to a reversible jersey that will be used county-wide.  The uniforms will remain property of the league and used in progressive years.

Parents are responsible for the return of the shirts and shorts after the last game of the season.

Upon return of the uniform, each player will receive his/her team T-Shirt to keep. Parents will have the option to purchase additional team T-Shirts.

In the event that the uniform is not turned in after the last game, the player will not receive their trophy and/or photos. In addition, the parent will be billed for the cost of the uniform.

Drug-Free Environment

Cherokee County Soccer League promotes a drug-free environment. The use of tobacco, alcohol and drugs is banned from the Soccer Complex for all including coaches, staff, players, and spectators.

Age Group Designations

Players will be placed on teams appropriate to their age based upon the NCYSA guidelines. That policy states the player's age group is determined by the child's age on or before August 1st.

If a child wishes to play on a team in the next higher age bracket, for the safety of the child, he/she will be given the opportunity to undergo an assessment based on skill and maturity.

Assessments, when necessary, will be held at at the soccer field located behind Coates American in Marble at a predetermined time.

The child will be evaluated by a committee of youth coaches who will report their determination to the Board. The Board will then inform the parents and child of the decision.

If the child does not attend the assessment, he/she will be placed on a team appropriate to their age based upon the NCYSA guidelines.

No child will be allowed to play higher than one age level above its current age. No child can play in an age group lower than their age as of August 1st.

Rules of the Game for Parents and Spectators

All participants need to keep their comments about referees to themselves.  The referees are doing the best they can. They are all certified referees and what they say goes.

All calls on the field are final.Take all your complaints to the coach of your team or Carlton Van Horn, after the games are finished for the day. 

Do Not complain to the coaches during the game. They are trying to watch all the kids on the field, their own players as well as the other team's players. 

Do Not try to coach your child's team from the sidelines unless YOU are the coach.  It is distracting to the players.  If you want to help, then come to the practices and volunteer to help with the team and learn how your coach wants the kids to  play.

CHEERING ON OF YOUR TEAM AND THE OTHER TEAMS ARE GREATLY ENCOURAGED!!!

POSITIVE ATTITUDES BRING POSITIVE RESULTS FOR YOUR CHILD AND THE TEAM. 

REMEMBER THERE ARE NO STAR PLAYERS, THIS IS NOT A GAME WON ON INDIVIDUAL MERITS.   SOCCER IS A GAME WON ON TEAM EFFORT. 

ALL OUR COACHES AND REFEREES ARE VOLUNTEERS, REMEMBER TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR TIME AND EFFORT.

Please help us keep the fields clean of litter.  Every little bit helps.

Parking in the designated areas only.  DO NOT BLOCK the emergency access area.  This area should remain open from the fields all the way to the pavement. 

THANK YOU FOR ENTRUSTING US WITH YOUR CHILDREN'S CARE DURING ALL THE PRACTICES AND GAMES!  WE WILL DO OUR UTMOST TO MAKE SURE EVERY CHILD IS TREATED FAIRLY AND GETS AND EQUAL CHANCE TO PLAY. 

NO SMOKING on the soccer fields.  If you must; please limit it to the parking area. Thank You!

If you would like a copy of the rules of the game for your age group contact your coach. He or she can get you a copy.

Please be advised that inappropriate behavior toward any player, parent, coach, referee, visitor (in other words everyone else) may result in your child and yourself being asked not to play or visit the soccer complex.
