Coachs Ethics
1. Coaches should always remember that the primary mission of this association is not to win but to provide a positive environment for kids to learn and enjoy soccer. The Association is committed to this mission and all coaches are expected to conduct themselves not only according to the letter of the rules, but also within the spirit of the rules, thereby promoting the goals and objectives of the Association. Coaches are expected to know the rules of the game and of this association. Ignorance of these rules is not a defensible argument for their violation.
2. This is a participation association. Every player in the In-town program must play 1/2 of each and every game and 1/3 of each game for traveling teams that he/she attends barring injury or disciplinary action. Players should not be excluded from games for simply missing practices. If at all possible try to play your players equal time, particularly when ahead.
3. Coaches who do not conduct themselves according to the letter and spirit of the rules, constitution, and by-laws of this association are subject to disciplinary action by the Ethics Committee. Coaches will set the standard for treating referees with respect. Coaches are also responsible for the behavior of their players and fans. Coaches that receive a red card will automatically be suspended for the next game, and may be suspended for more games at the discretion of the Ethics Committee. Coaches receiving Yellow Cards will also be reviewed by the Ethics Committee (also see L. and M. below).
4. Coaches are prohibited from using profanity, including swearing under their breaths.
5. There will be no consumption of alcohol or use of tobacco products at or near the soccer fields.
A. Registration packets / Rosters Selection
1. The traveling league supervisor must review the team packet before the packet is forwarded to the district commissioner - no exceptions.
2. A player will be suspended if his/her registration fees are not paid by the second league game.
3. Morris County will require coaches to possess "F" license certification. The coach must submit his/her certificate to the district commissioner with the team packet.
4. Selection of players will be made by the head coach. No out of town player may be selected to any PLRSA traveling team, until every "traveling quality" player, as determined by the coach, from Pompton Lakes/Riverdale has been selected. A coach may select out of town players thereafter, but is limited to 3 (three) players from out of town per team. The traveling league supervisor must be notified prior to the additions being made. The charter of the PLRSA is to serve the children of our towns first!
(Ammendment #7 adopted June 6, 2002)
5. All traveling team candidates should be registered with the PLRSA for the upcoming season in order to participate in the tryouts.
6. The Pompton Lakes Riverdale Soccer Association (PLRSA) restricts rostered players to primary carded players only. No player can become a rostered player of a PLRSA team as a secondary carded player that is already carded as a primary player for another soccer club or association. A registered PLRSA player may be rostered for another club or association only as a secondary carded player and must participate in the game played by their PLRSA team in the event of a schedule conflict. The only exception to this ruling is Division I and II teams.
Amendment #11 adopted May 20, 2009
7. Team selection and rejection notification letters must be mailed as soon as the roster is determined, certainly by 7/1/99.
8. The traveling league supervisor and the registrar will maintain a current copy of the team roster.
9. The Pompton lakes Riverdale Soccer Association (PLRSA) will in limited and unique circumstances allow exceptional youth soccer players to play on teams that are both age inappropriate and are competing at a greater level of play than would be otherwise available to the player. This is commonly known as "playing-up". Whereas the United States Soccer Federation, the governing body of all soccer in the United States, has clearly delineated their endorsement of playing-up in youth soccer, PLRSA has elected to take a significantly more conservative approach to the issue.
"Playing up" (trying out for a team that is older than his/her age appropriate team) is generally not permissible within the PLRSA, unless there are extenuating circumstances for a player to play up. Each case will be evaluated by the board of directors and decided upon on an individual case basis. No player shall be allowed to play up, unless a incomplete roster situation exists on the older team (no age appropriate child of "traveling quality" should be displaced from a team due to another players desire to play up). Players are encouraged to play on their age appropriate teams, in an effort to field the best possible traveling team in each age group.
A letter explaining the reasons for wanting to play up and the "PLRSA Playing up Request Form" (available online),must be submitted to the Executive board for review, before a decision will be made. The appropriate coaches will be informed of the boards decision. Players wanting to play up are encouraged to tryout for their age appropriate team as well, in case the board declines the request to play up. If a player elects to "play up" at a tryout, without trying out for his/her age appropriate team, he/she is not eligible for their age appropriate team, unless a incomplete roster situation exists. Furthermore, an athlete that qualifies as exceptional player and makes an inappropriate aged team is not guaranteed a position on that team in ensuing years and is therefore required to repeat the try-out process seasonally.
Amendment #6 adopted May 16, 2002
10. All traveling coaches must attend at least 4 general soccer meetings per year (You can send your assistant also if you wish). They are on the third Thursday of every month. (Amendment #10 adopted May 2007)

A. Call the traveling league supervisor immediately after the game and state the reason for the protest.
B. The traveling league supervisor will immediately contact the executive board to discuss the coaches request.
C. The executive board will decide if the protest should be filed. If so, the coach will address a letter to the appropriate traveling league official which will be co-signed by the traveling league supervisor.
D. A notification call to the traveling league official will be made by the traveling league supervisor.
E. The protest fee (paid by the PLRSA) and letter(in triplicate) must be postmarked no later than two days following the game or occurrence being protested.
2. A coach can file a protest after being denied by the PLRSA executive board. The coach must pay the protest fee and must follow the procedure outlined above.
C. Equipment / Field preparation
1. It is the responsibility of all the coaches who play at home on a given week to prepare the field for the game.
- This includes but is not limited to:
- A. Lining the field
- B. Setting up the goals and nets
- C. Installing the corner flags
- D. Providing a game ball to the referee
2. It is equally important that all PLRSA equipment be properly stored after each game and that the field is left in the condition it was found in! (the "Lakeside" rule)
D. Rain Out / Field Availability
1. All traveling league games require at least a two hour notice of a cancellation. The proper procedure is as follows and must be used:A. Call the opposing coach and cancel the game. If the cancellation is caused by field availability (Lakeside as an example), the opposing team must be given the option of playing the game at their field.
B. If the game is canceled call the PLRSA traveling league supervisor or the PLRSA president immediately. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to contact the traveling league games chair and the opposing team league contact in the event of a cancellation.
C. There should be an attempt made to contact the referee assigner also.
D. A canceled game should be rescheduled and played within two weeks of the original game date. The two coaches should agree on a make up date and then the traveling league supervisor should be notified to submit the change and to arrange for the referees.
E. If the two coaches can not agree, the traveling league supervisors of the towns will settle on a date for the make-up game.
E. Yellow and Red Cards
1. All red cards (received by a player or coach) must be reported to the PLRSA traveling league supervisor or to the PLRSA president by 9:00 pm on the day of the game by the coach or assistant. Failure to do so will result in the coach being suspended for 1 league game by the PLRSA in addition to the traveling league suspension.
A. Traveling league sanctions will apply to carded individuals, there will not be any PLRSA sanctions unless deemed necessary by the ethics committee. If a player receives a red card for fighting or for violent actions on the field, aside from the action taken by the league, the situation may be reviewed by the PLRSA disciplinary committee to decide whether further action, if any, will be taken. It is the opinion of the PLRSA that a player re-ceiving a yellow card should be substituted for and given a chance to "cool off" before re-entering the game.
B. If a parent causes the coach to receive the red card, the parent must pay the fine, or his/her child will be suspended from play until the fine is paid in full.
2. The coach is responsible for the actions of himself/ herself, the players and the fans.
A. If a coach receives a red card for poor or violent behavior he/she is responsible for all fines.
B. Verbal abuse directed at the referee (or players) will not be tolerated by the PLRSA. If legal action is taken against a PLRSA coach, the coach is responsible for his/her legal fees.
C. Any coach charged with abuse of a referee or player will be suspended immediately until the matter is resolved. If the coach is found guilty he/she will be expelled from the PLRSA for a period of one year. After one year the coach may seek re-instatement.
D. If a traveling team coach has an outstanding fine or is under suspension he/she will not be allowed to participate in any team activities until the fine or suspension has been satisfied. Activities are defined as tryouts, practices, and league or tournament games. Fines/suspensions by either the PLRSA or the traveling leagues apply to this amendment.
(Amendment #1 - August 3, 1995)
F. Injuries
1. Any injuries sustained by a member of a PLRSA traveling team must be reported to PLRSA traveling league supervisor asap.

- Middle - 14 per team
- Major - 14 per team
- Note: Should enough players register to form a complete major division, the division 3 boys and girls traveling team members will not play in the major division. This will allow the major division to play on both Saturday and Sunday.

H. Responsibilities of all PLRSA Traveling Coaches
(Amendment #3 - September 4, 1995)
1. It is the responsibility of all PLRSA traveling coaches to see that the full schedule of games is completed each season.

I. Traveling Team Coach Selection
(Amendment #4 - March 22, 1996)

2. The traveling supervisor must be notified by the head coach requesting tournament fees. The treasurer will then provide the funds. The traveling supervisor will also keep a record of each teams balance for that seasonal year.
3. Allocation of all excess tournament funds:
(Amendment #8 - Nov 6, 2003)
At end of season (Aug 1st - July 31st), teams that exceed the $1000 limit per year, may submit a request to the PLRSA for additional funds, based on excess funds from all other teams (teams that did not participate in any tournament, or did not use up their entire budget), and only for NJYSA sanctioned tournaments, with copy of original registration to Treasurer. Reallocated funds may also include 20% entry fee charged for canceled tournaments due to rain-outs, as per NJYSA rules.
PLRSA Board has the right to refuse reallocation of excess tournament funds to any team if it is determined that the allocation exceeds normal tournament registration fee expenses.
All teams eligible will be pooled together and receive proportional fees based on total refund request over total fund available. [e.g.: $400 unclaimed tournament fee available. Team A submits a request for $400 and Team B submits a request for $200. Team A would receive $267 (66%) and team B would receive $133 (33%].
This would not apply if total fund available exceeds total refund requested.
