Weekly Office Hours

Players registered with the Southern Illinois Soccer League (SISL) are only permitted to participate in three SISL games per week.  Tournament games and games in other leagues will not count for purposes of this policy.  For purposes of this policy, SISL defines a week as being from Saturday morning through Friday night.  Each club, by agreeing to participate in SISL, does hereby agree to monitor and enforce this policy with all players rostered to their club.  Violations of this policy will be considered an offense by the club rostering a player in violation and will therefore result in disciplinary action being taken against the club.  A club's first violation of this policy will result in a $250 fine and a second violation will result in a $500 fine.  Violations under this policy are not counted on a per player basis, but are cumulative to the club for all players rostered to that club
 

All coaches or managers seeking to pick up player passes for red cards need to contact the South Administrator, Jane Raede at mailto:sislvpres@yahoo.com to make arrangements.   Reminder - If you have a red card you are unable to attend the game(s) you are suspended from.

Those that would like to attend a board meeting and present issues must notify the League Administrator at least 72 hours prior to the meeting.  The league exectutive board will be notified of the request and decide whether or not to add the issue to the meeting agenda.

1)  Referee Fees:  Referee fees are paid according the the age division, not necessarily  by the age of the teams.  For instance, U-12 teams playing in a U13 division will have to pay the U13 fees ($32 per team).  U8/9 games will only be played with one center ref.  Therefore you only have to pay your share of the center refs fees or $12 per team.  2)  U-12 teams game ball:  U-12 teams playing in a U13 bracket will normally be using a size 5  ball.  However, if both teams are U12, and both teams agree, they may exercise the option to play with a Size 4 ball.  However, the game length and ref fees remain at the U13 level.  3)  Normally, it takes 6 teams to make a division, if there are less than 6 teams in an age group, the league will exercise the option to combine it with another age division..  In addition, if there are 12 or more teams in an age division, the league will normally divide that into two divisions based on previous records in an effort to make the games more competitive.
