| + | Sliding
We have observed an increase in the number of cards being issued for sliding tackles. Sliding is defined as leaving your feet and going to the ground to play the ball (this includes going to one knee with an extended leg), regardless of whether there are other players nearby. This rule does not apply to players who are fouled and fall as a result.
Goalkeepers are permitted to slide within the parameters set by the FIFA "Laws of the Game and Universal Guide for Referees."
If players persist in sliding, considering it only merits a yellow card, we will escalate the penalty for sliding to an automatic red card. The league's decision on this matter will be final and non-negotiable. | + | Refund Policy Once the season has started and games have been played, no refunds will be given since many of our expenses are paid at the beginning of the season.
BCSSL does, however, reserve the right to handle each case on an individual basis. | + | Insurance Claim Form If you or a teammate gets injured and wants to file a claim with US Club Soccer to see about getting some coverage, please go visit www.usadultsoccer.com/player-injury-claim.
Click on the box that reads Click Here to File an Injury Claim. Fill out all their needed info and submit to them, not the BCSSL. We have nothing to do with claims. There is also a link to instructions and how they process the claim. BCSSL has nothing to do with this process and do not make decisions about claims. |
