if they have satisfied the practice requirements. In addition, the league
recommends that playing time be shared equally when game conditions
permit, and that players not be utilized in a single position, especially
in the younger age groups.
b. During tournament play, the 50% rule also applys.The league recommends
that coaches follow the same policies that apply to league play except
in extraordinary circumstances, because of the highly negative reactions
that always accompany low playing time.

b. Practice spaces and times will normally be assigned by the League,
and Coaches are expected to cooperate in the use of field facilities.

place at the fields, and to assist in keeping our fields clean, safe,
and secure.
