It’s finally time….ARE YOU READY?????? It’s time to kick off the Fall 2023 Rec season!!!

Your first week of play will be starting this coming Thursday September 28, 2023. Please see below a couple of notes. It’s a bit of a read but trust me it’s worth it!!

  1. Communication & Roster on TeamSnap
    You should see your roster updated on the TeamSnap app. I highly recommend you download the app as you will have access to your roster, schedule and communication channel with your team on your phone. Your captains should also be reaching out to you soon. You should have received an email notification regarding where you will be playing for the first week. You will also see the schedule for the remainder of the season shortly  (My Saturday night plan, haha)
  2. ROWAN’s Law Compliance
    If you are under the age of 26, you MUST complete the Rowan’s law training video, review TSVL’s remove from play/return to play protocol, AND complete the TeamSnap registration with your acknowledgement of the law. Please see below for the relevant links:Rowan’s law training video: https://youtu.be/H1puD-iVJcMTSVL remove from play/return to play protocol: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19kR3T6cu1VfedSDIcx56xoFX5pjRkqsL/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=115956726359934681213&rtpof=true&sd=true

    Part of the fun in rec is to come up with fierce team names!! If you have decided on a team name, please send it over to me and I can update the weekly standings 🙂
  4. Game start time – NEW THIS SEASON

    For each team there will be opportunities to ref either 1 or 2 games each week. Each team requires a 1st (up) referee and 2nd (down) referee, in addition to scorekeeper and 2 linesperson. For the referees, please note there are no whisltes in the gym bag, please bring your own. You can find one fairly easily in hardware/sports stores.
