Score Advantage Rule
In the West United League, we wish to provide an atmosphere of Safety and Sportsmanship. This leads to the following ruling under Sportsmanship that we call Score Advantage. This is when a team is down by three (3) points at any point in the game; the team that is down in points has the opportunity to improve their advantage by adding one (1) extra player to the field for each score against them.
For example, if a team is down in points by 3-0, 4-1, 5-2, etc. they may add an additional player to their team on the field.
Empowering Parents To Empower Youth (Open Forum)
This is an open forum invitation to have all youth, parents, and volunteers attend. Hope to see you all there at the booth fair.
For grades 7-12" on Wednesday, February 10 at 5:30pm.
Substitution Rule Change
The league rules regarding substitutions have been updated to match rules being implemented in the competition league (Razzia).
Our current league Laws of the Game indicate that a substitution can occur only on a stoppage of play and the substitution can be only for the team that has possession of the ball. The league will now allow a substitution by either team on a stoppage of play. Not just for the team that has possession.
Substitutions will still ONLY be allowed on the following stoppages:
Website Update
We have recently updated the website and desired to provide an advancement in presenting League and Division information in a more organized way. At the top of each page, we have placed a link to each division blog. Within each blog, you will find information that relates directly to that division. We hope this will allow you to get to the details much faster and it will help us to organize the information better and it doesn't get overlooked.
Offsides
What is offsides? What are the rules pertaining to offsides? How can it be used as a strategy? Often time, this rule is mistaken more or has had more controversy than any other rule. In fact, a player is not offsides in and of itself. A player is only offsides when certain conditions occur and the referee feels that the play is unfair. This should peak an interest in learning more about the rule.
