Instructions on the Handling of Pass Cards
for Players and Coaches

 

Player and Coach Cards

  1. As stated at High Noon Soccer League web site, Coaches' Corner, "every player has to be properly registered and have a valid player pass card (signed, with recent picture attached, stamped by the league registrar, and laminated).  This is true for every age group and even U6 players do need to be checked by the assigned referee before they can participate in a league game."  (NO PROPER CARD = NO PLAY)

  2. The requirement of the card needing to be signed card has been removed.  There is an equivalent requirement for each coach having a pass card.

  3. The only exception to the above is if the team has a letter stating otherwise, which is signed by either the registrar, Erik Tuchfarber, or the president, Rick Hendricks.  Keep the letter and indicate this situation in the comments section of the game report.

  4. There is usually allowances for the first game of the season, but you will be informed by the scheduler or president of LCSRA when such allowances are approved.

Retaining cards during a match

  1. This guideline is specifically  for ages U9 and up.  U6 and U8 games do not need to follow these guidelines, except for number 2, because cautions (yellow card) and ejections (red card) are not used.

  2. When checking teams, make sure there is a coach and player card for everyone on the team side.  Anyone without a card MUST be on the spectator's side of the field.

  3. DO NOT return cards to coach until the game is finished and you have removed cards for ejected players and coaches.

  4. If you forget to remove the card for ejected player or coach, inform the scheduler or president.

Note: Assistant referees, make sure that the center follows these guidelines.  If he refuses to do so, inform the president of LCSRA.

Turn in Cards

  1. Player's and coaches' cards that are retained due to ejection must be turned in to the HNSL office promptly (same day).
  2. HNSL office address is 1485 N. Main, Suite C.  This is across the street from a Pizza Hut in what is named the Coronado Center.  There is a slot in the door where the cards may be slipped into the office.
  3. If a game is terminated due to no coach - coach(es) were ejected - turn in the entire team's set of cards to the HNSL office.

Cards that Are Accidentally Kept After the Game

  1. Turn in the cards to the HNSL office promptly.
  2. Inform the LCSRA scheduler or president which game and team did not get their cards back.
