Girls Only Ages U8-U15 & HS/Birth Years 2012-2005

Main Line All Girls Futsal reserves the right to drop or combine divisions or age groups.

Schedules:  Teams will be scheduled to play 8 40-minute games between January 6, 2019 and March 25, 2020.  All games will be played on Monday or Wednesday evenings between 6:15 pm and 9:55 pm.  Start times are TBD.  Younger teams will be given priority for early time slots.  If there are dates your team cannot play, please note that at the time of registration.  See below for more information about cancellations, forfeits and rescheduling. 

Teams will be assigned to divisions by age and competition level based on Fall season results.  

Games Cancelled by Opponents: If an opponent cancels a game or does not show for the game, the other team may use the game time.  If your team must cancel, call Danielle Fagan 610-505-5567 as soon as possible so we can notify the referees and give the other team a chance to plan accordingly. Cancelling a game not only short-changes your team, but your scheduled opponent. Games cancelled by teams will not be rescheduled until the $50 reschedule fee is paid. 

Reschedules: At time of registration, each team is allowed one guaranteed conflict if entered into registration system before registration deadline. You may enter a second date at the time of registration only if you are willing to play double headers.  Reschedules will not be made unless a $50 rescheduling fee is paid to the league. This helps pay for the additional court fees and referee fees.

Games Cancelled by Main Line All Girls Futsal: We reserve the right to postpone or cancel games at any time for any reason such as bad weather or facility problems. If we do decide to cancel games, refunds will not be provided, and we will make every effort to reschedule the games at the end of the season.

Forfeited Games: If a team fails to show for a scheduled match, the referee shall allow a 5 min grace period. After the 5 minutes, if the team has not yet arrived or does not have enough players to field a team (4), the game clock will begin.  If ten minutes have passed since the scheduled game time and 4 players are not present, the game will be forfeited. The game will be tallied as a 3 to 0 loss for the forfeiting team and a 3 to 0 win for their opponent. 

**Forfeit Fee:  There will be a $35 fee due for any game your team forfeits.  This fee will be deposited into an account for the forfeiting team’s opponent and will be used as a credit for their future registration fees.

IMPORTANT COACH INFORMATION: There is no coaching license needed to coach a team. Any adult who is registered with the team as a coach or manager can sit the bench.  This is a great option for teams with outdoor coaches who want to take a break, but still want their teams to have fun and play.

Coaches with multiple teams: The league will accommodate coaches with multiple teams by scheduling them with back-to-back games as much as possible.  If you coach multiple teams, you must enter this information in the registration system when you register.

Coach Ejections: If a coach is ejected from any match, a referee’s report of the incident shall be turned over to the League directors by the referee. The minimum penalty for an ejection is that the coach shall not be permitted to coach or remain on the player’s bench in the immediate next match. The maximum penalty, after review by Main Line All Girls Futsal Directors, may result in the individual coach or team’s expulsion from the League.  

Competition Format & Rules: Official futsal FIFA Rules and Regulations as stated under the Laws of The Game will be enforced. Exceptions are noted below under House Rules. You may print up a copy of the Laws of the Game at the US Youth Futsal website.
