ROSTERS

Roster Size?
Roster size is limited to twenty (20) players. Teams may include up to twenty (20) players as long as the minimum number of players is fielded for each match. All teams must field a minimum of six (6) players for each match.

How do I certify a roster?
After a club registrar creates a tournament roster, they then submit it to the district registrar for approval/certification. This needs to be done, otherwise it is an unapproved roster. This can be done electronically but don't wait until the last minute.

Can I split my team and enter two tournament teams?
Yes, but you must supply a certified tournament roster for both teams. Crossing out names on a roster to make two teams is not acceptable. The team should decide prior to going to the tournament, who is participating on which tournament team, then create two tournament rosters. That makes it clear to all involved, who is playing on a particular team.

GUEST PLAYERS:

We have a guest player. What must be done?
Guest players are allowed, but must be included on your certified tournament roster. They cannot be handwritten in. Two guest players are allowed.

Players from another club need to have Permission to Travel form from the club they are currently registered to so they may play with your club in the tournament.
 
SCHEDULES:

I need to know when our team is playing. When is the schedule ready?
We try our best to provide a schedule as soon as possible after close of registration. Many factors are involved in scheduling and we ask you to be patient and to also check for changes right up to the morning of the tournament.

SAFETY:
Cleats are not allowed for indoor games (indoor soccer shoes or sneakers only). This will also apply to any games that must be relocated indoors due to weather so please come prepared for that possibility.

All players must be safely equipped. Any players not equipped properly will not be permitted to participate.
Under no circumstances will any jewelry or hard hair clips/bands be permitted.
Any casts or hard braces must be properly padded.
Shin guards are required.

The final decision on any player safety issues shall be made by the referee.

Coaches and managers - please advise your team players to refrain from bouncing their soccer balls inside Staples Gym, especially around the registration/score table area. The walls here are lined with glass cabinets.
 
JERSEY COLORS:
Westport's home jersey color is white. Please plan accordingly.
 
BACK TO TOP
FIELD HOUSE ACCESS:
All Fields will be clearly marked. U9-U11 teams playing indoors on Field House 2 should walk down the hallway and enter Staples Field House at the opposite end of Field House 1. Please do not enter the Field House at Field 1 and walk behind the goal to get to Field 2. This is dangerous, and disrupts the play.
 
AWARDS:
Championship teams in the U11 - U18 brackets will receive a custom WIN tournament soccer bag.  Teams should proceed to the cafeteria area for their awards ceremony and a team photo. Team coaches or managers are responsible for picking up awards to their players.

All U9 and U10 players receive a participation award. Teams should report to the cafeteria area after their last game where coaches are able to present medals to players and parents can take photos!
