What are the rules for recruiting players?
Ask the current Fall coach if they are planning on taking their team or some of their players for the Spring season.
I’ve created my team. Now what?
You’ll need to have your three certified referees, a team parent, and field volunteers.
Practice
Spring 2021 permits allow for practices on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Are uniforms provided as part of the registration fee?
No. To keep the registration fee as low as possible the teams are responsible for their uniforms. However, uniforms can be ordered through the region to help provide a discounted rate for the teams. You may use SCORE for your uniform selections for the Spring Season. Lowest price for full uniforms (Jersey, shorts, socks) is $14.95 (Costa Rica #235) and can go up depending on uniform style you choose. Please visit www.scoresports.com for more styles and colors to choose from.

Yes. All coaches and players, except the 8U division, must have an ID card at all games.
Who’s responsible for the referees?
The home team is responsible for providing the center referee duties for the Spring Select season for the competitive games. All teams still must provide referees to cover Assistant Referee duties and some Center Referee duties for the non-competitive games (8U Division)
Who’s responsible for Field Duty?
Just as the Fall (regular) season, your team will be responsible for field setup if you are scheduled for the first game of the day on your assigned field. You’ll need two representatives to meet at the Lexington Lock-up area on the Friday before your game at 5pm. They’ll be chalking the field lines and setting up the goals and nets. On game day, they’ll also need to setup the flags before the game.
Field takedown will be the responsibility of the team with the last game of the day on your assigned field. They’ll be responsible for putting away the goals, nets, and flags.
Referees
The home team will provide the center referee, but volunteer referees must be provided by each team to cover the AR (sideline) duties.
