TEAMS / INDIVIDUALS
SCHEDULING
The schedules and stats for all games and teams are posted on the website.
www.NYCSoccerCollective.NET
The schedule for the first night of games will be available at least
48 hours before the first night of games.
The schedule for the second night of games will be available at least 72 hours before the second night of games.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the full season schedule will be posted by the 3rd week of games
If fields are closed due to weather - make up games may be scheduled at a different time and/or day of the week than your regular league play (this includes weekends)
Due to occasional unforeseen circumstances the schedule is subject to change after it has been posted.
We will make every effort send out an email if there are changes made to a game within the same week.
As a general rule you should check your schedule at the beginning of each week to ensure you have the most updated scheduling information.
DIVISIONS
The league is generally separated into 2 divisions, Recreational and Competitive.
If there are more than 10 teams in a division, a division may be split into flights (conferences / groups) with teams playing all the teams in their flight and a number of cross play games against teams in the other flight(s).
If there are fewer than 9 teams in a division, the Recreational and Competitive divisions may be split into flights (conferences / groups) with teams playing all the teams in their flight and a number of cross play games against teams in the other flight(s). In this case the Semi-Final and Final games will be played among the top 4 teams in each division as separate divisions. (Top 4 Rec teams will play each other in the Semis/Finals and Top 4 Comp teams will play each other in the Semis/Finals)
If there are 6 or fewer teams in either division, the divisions may be combined into one.
(this is often the case in the summer and winter seasons)

WEATHER: rain or shine?
YES - we play rain or shine!
Except in the case of dangerous conditions
(lightning, hurricane, extreme flooding etc...)
|
 |
You may call the WEATHER HOTLINE at 212 696 7297
IF games are cancelled an outgoing message will have information.
In the event of cancellations the hotline will be updated at least 1 hour before the first game.
The best time to check the hotline is 1 hour before your game as weather and conditions
are extremely changeable and games are not cancelled until it is extremely apparent that
fields will be unplayable at game time.
Games go forward whenever possible.
On occasion games may be cancelled on the spot if we arrive at the fields and
find they are unplayable due to flooding or dangerous conditions.
If there is no current message regarding weather on the hotline
then games will proceed as scheduled.
Make up games may be scheduled at a different time
and/or day of the week than your regular league play, including weekends.
|
REMINDERS for all teams/players
Games should start promptly as scheduled & we can not wait for late or missing players!
We are always on a tight schedule & games must run as scheduled!
PLEASE stay on the sidelines and do not enter the field space until the referees tell you to do so unless it’s unquestionably clear that there is space on the pitches not being occupied by permit holders.
The leagues who hold the permits before our games have complained about players entering the field before their games/practices are finished.
|
Especially the Baseball coaches who are concerned for your safety due to renegade balls played by little leaguers!
|
ALL TEAMS – please check the schedule, know which pitch you are playing on and set up your camp/deposit your stuff near your pitch rather than near the stairs on the south side of the complex.
We are losing a good amount of time waiting for teams to relocate
their belongings to the appropriate pitches.
PLEASE NOTE on the schedule any nights you are playing a team wearing a color similar to your own. To check what color a team wears click their team name in the standings table. If it is not on their teampage write to the league to check.
Teams should plan on bringing white shirts (or another alternative color) on a night when you are playing a team wearing a color close to your own.
Muchas Gracias!
