UNIFORM POLICY

Uniform Policy

· Teams are responsible for providing their own uniforms.

· We encourage players on each team to wear matching, numbered shirts or jerseys.

· Numbers should be a minimum of 8 inches in height and visible on the back of the shirts.

· Teams are encouraged to purchase two sets of shirts (light and dark) to manage uniform color conflicts.

· The home team is responsible to change jerseys in case of color conflict between jerseys.

· Trading shirts during substitutions is prohibited.

· Matching shorts and socks are encouraged, but are not required.

· Players must wear shin guards, shorts, and shoes.

· No player will be allowed to play without shin guards.

SUBSTITUTE PLAYER POLICY

WWSL allows for substitute (sub) players based on the specific criteria listed below:

Requirements

• All registered teams must have a minimum of 18 full-time, paid players on the team roster before a sub pool can be created.

• Sub players registration must be completed online prior to the game start such that the team captain can print a copy of the roster showing the guest as a valid player for the game.

Costs

• Sub players must pay the $30 NCASA player pass fee upon registration if they do not have a current, valid NCASA player pass.

Process

• The sub player registers online as a “Substitute Player” for the specified team through the WWSL registration system.

• The player registration fee must be paid to WWSL before an NCASA player pass is ordered.

• The player must upload a color photo during the registration process.

• If a Team Captain does not have enough players for a given game, the captain may add players from their sub pool.

• If a sub accepts the invitation to play on a specific game date, the Team Captain must direct the player to register and pay for the Game Day Fee via the WWSL registration system.

• Once the game fee is paid, the Team Captain must print out a Game Day Roster showing the sub player with the specific game date.

• The roster must be presented to the referee before the game is played and may only be used for that specific game.

• The sub player will no longer appear on the Game Day Roster after the game date.
