FIELD CLOSURE PROCEDURES

HOME GAMES:
If an announcement is made that our fields are closed:

1. Call your opponent immediately so they don't have to travel here. Check if they have a turf field available so you can play there.
2. The first coach scheduled to play at a field that day must go to the field to pay the referee a $25 travel fee if he/she shows up.

AWAY GAMES
If the weather is suspect and you have an away game, first check the "User Forum / Feedback" link at the bottom of www.ncsanj.com - then "NCSA Corner" where field closures are announced. Either way, call your opponent to check.

REQUESTING FIELDS

A. First learn the rules:

• Do not attempt to schedule a game during the week, unless it is exactly in your practice slot - at the field you practice at.
• Do not create a gap between games if other games are scheduled at that field.
• Do your research before asking for a slot... make sure that the only reason you're denied a request, is because someone else beat you to it and it hasn't been posted on the Web yet.
• Requests must be submitted by Sunday evening to be effective that coming week.
• The league will arrange for referees.

B. Then determine availability:

Allendale town fields
- Red Barn, Multipurpose, Jr. Football, Brookside, West Maple:

• Check if enough daylight: August - September - October - November
• Check general field availability (for blackout dates, etc.)
• Check Allendale availability
• Check NCSA availability by field

Other fields
- Guardian Angel, Lions park, Hess, St. Luke's, Presentation, St. Joseph, Bogert:

• Check if enough daylight: August - September - October - November
