Field
Maintenance and Policies
TORSO member teams are
responsible for maintaining their "Home" field/s and
that they remain in compliance with FIFA Laws of the
Game pertaining to the minimum requirements for safe
and fair play.
Per the TORSO By-Laws, if any
fields are deemed "not in compliance", home teams
have 10 days to make corrections and bring them into
compliance or the TORSO Board of Directors will have
the corrections contracted out and the cost will be
passed on to each team that uses said fields as
their "HOME" field.
Common areas of field
maintenance issues are:
- 4 corner flags of proper
height
- Goal nets that are in
good repair and are secured to the goal posts
- Accurate field markings
of proper width and visibility
- Minimum distances
between technical areas, touch lines, spectators
/ stands
- Repair holes or other
dangerous objects (sprinkler heads) that may be
exposed on the field
A complete listing of field
requirements may be found in
FIFA Laws of the Game
manual.
Bear Creek
Practice Field Policies
The
Westside fields (Bear Creek) are once again
open for adult practices. HFA will be using
field #30, HWSA will be using Field #29, and Torso will be using field #28. Its
important that teams only train on their
assigned fields, otherwise they will be
removed by the Precinct 5 Police.
Important Practice Information
- Make
sure that each team that trains
on the Westside fields has their
player cards
- Make
sure they have a letter of
permission from their Adult
league (HFA, HWSA, TORSO); and
also make sure the letter also
includes that they have
permission from Westside. They
should have this with them at
each practice to avoid being
kicked off. It would be wise to
laminate this letter.
- Make
sure teams call the weather line
before going to practice.
- Make
sure that teams that train on
the weekend are aware of the
youth tournaments.
- Make
sure your teams don't allow
un-registered players to
practice with them. If they
don't have a player card, they
are not allowed to practice with
the team. This is very important
because this would terminate
their practice rights at
Westside fields.
- Most important of all - Please
tell your teams when and if
approached by the police and/or
Westside to please be
respectful.
