Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Each team will have a volunteer coach. The coach's child plays for free. Coaches must agree to implement the SVSC curriculum. If you would like to coach please contact Allen Mandell - svscsurfcoach@gmail.com
Will we have have practices?
Yes. Each team will have 8 practices.
What support can coaches expect from SVSC?
Coaches will be provided with 8 complete practice plans, team shape/tactics, league rules. The League Director will be available to provide guidance, the necessary cones & pinnnies or other equipment when needed. Each player needs to bring his/her own ball.
What if there are not enough coaches?
If there are not enough coaches we will be forced to close registration or refund those players without coaches.
Will there be referees at the games?
Yes. There will be certified referees at each match when available. If certified referees are not available we will substitute staff coaches for refs.
Are players allowed to head the ball?
Yes, players are allowed to head the ball. However, we have maintained several rule modifications that limited opportunities to head the ball.
What about the other rule changes?
We follow US Soccer rules for 7v7. That's why punting and long goal kicks are not allowed. Requiring shorter passes develops players' abilities to pass and maintain possession. At SVSC we extended the spirit of that rule to all free kicks. We utilize "pass-in" rather than throw-ins for similar reasons. This modification is not uncommon. Futsal/indoor soccer do not play throw-ins at any level. Throw-ins are an easy skill to learn if players choose to continue playing at levels where they are part of the game.
