Pre-Match Check List
- Check the schedule on the web site as the schedule may change.
- Email or telephone the opposing team captain and confirm the field, time, and team colors.

- Verify that each player jersey has a number.
- Contact your team about the match time. Your team must appear at least 20 minutes before the match time to check in with the referee.
- Print out a match report Sunday morning to assure the most current roster and match information is available. To print out a match report, go to the Demosphere schedule on your team page, locate your match and click on the "v" between home and away team - this link will bring up a printable, official match report.
- Player jersey numbers must be recorded on the match report - if you have assigned jersey numbers to your players, record them in Demosphere - they will print on the game sheet and will save time.
