I.  Policy for Team Organization:
*Try outs will be held for fall and the following spring seasons the week after State Cup.  This is usually the first week of June.  The Director of Coaching, coaches and The Travel Committee will create rosters after tryouts.  Special tryouts for high school age teams and extra players may be held after the regular fall season (generally, the first week of November).
*Tentative Team rosters with our offer to play,  will be posted on our website, www.greenfieldsoccer.org, no more than seven days after the last day of try outs.
*Parents/players will have one week to respond to the aforementioned offer to join the team.
*The Greenfield Strikers FC will strive to develop and maintain age pure teams for all members.
If there are insufficient numbers, age groups may be merged to create one team.
*Players may petition to play-up only at time of try-outs.  Individual players may be moved up only if the age pure designated team has sufficient numbers.  The Director of Coaching will select any final candidates from those petitioning and/or any player he/she deems appropriate.  These candidates to play-up will then be presented to the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors must approve any move by a majority vote.
*Recruiting.    Recruiting from outside our club is prohibited by all coaches, players, parents and affiliates of our club except at time of tryouts through and the open transfer period of October 31-December 15.
 
II.  Coaches, Managers and Player Expections:
*Paid coaches.   Twice weekly training sessions will be run under the supervision of paid coaches. Coaches will strive to attend and coach all games but may have to split time between two teams. Paid coaches will notify managers and parent coaches in advance of any necessary absences. Paid coaches will be required to have three parent meetings, one at the start of the season, one mid-season and one at the end.
*Parent Coaches.     Each team will have a volunteer coach who will fill in as necessary to cover practices and games.  This person is typically the parent of a player on that team.
*Team Managers.    Each team will have a volunteer manager.  This person will be the communications and administrative coordinator.  They are the parent contact for questions and concerns and are responsible for team and league  paperwork, and organizing game day information.
*Players.  Players are expected to attend all practices and games.  If it is necessary to miss any session advanced notice in expected.  Playing time will be determined by the paid coach and is not guaranteed.
III.   League Information
