From our Referee Coordinator 

• Bring Passes, H2O, and First Aid Kit, Game Ball (for home games) to all games.
• Teams, along with their own town spectators, are to be on the same side of the field, opposite the away team and their spectators.  Usually the home team chooses their side of the field first.
• Home teams must change shirt color if there is a color conflict with away team uniform.  Keepers jersey color must be different from both the home & away team jersey colors.
• Coach will assign one person to signal with the line flag whenever the ball crosses the side line on their side of the field.  Person chosen should ideally be an adult and must know that a ball that has not completely crossed over the side line is still in play.  Flag will be handed out to coach by referee prior to the start of game and is to be returned to the referee at the end of game.
• All players are to play a MINIMUM OF ONE HALF OF EACH GAME so please plan your substitutions accordingly.
• Substitution opportunities are available at each throw-in, regardless of which team has possession of the ball, goal kicks, and after a goal is scored.  No substitutions are allowed at the time of corner kicks, penalty kicks and free kicks.  COACH MUST ASK PERMISSION OF REFEREE FOR EVERY SUBSTITUTION - NO EXCEPTIONS.
• Coaches are not to talk to the referee except during the pre-game inspection, to request a substitution, if a player is injured on the field, or to inform the referee that they are filing a referee before the referee leaves the field.  Any disagreement with the referee is to be handled via a written complaint on the Coaches' Referee/Game Evaluation Form found on the NWBSA.org website and forwarded to Games Conduct.
• Good Sportsmanship is expected at all times, including the handshake at the end of the game.  Coaches, please watch over your players to make sure that handshakes are not overly aggressive and no undesirable words are exchanged among players and coaches.  This also extends to the "Celebration Tunnels" that many of the younger division girls teams like to do.

 ... please follow these procedures to ensure a smooth rescheduling of postponed HOME divisional games for Hawthorne Soccer Association:

1. Call the opposing away team head coach to advise of the postponement
2. Target the night that your team practices for the make-up game.
3. Contact our Referee Coordinator (referee-coordinator@hawthornenjsoccer.org) to arrange a make-up game at the Wagaraw field during a week-night (Monday - Friday)
4. Confirm the suggested make-up date and time with the away team head coach.
5. Loop around again with our Referee Coordinator for final confirmation.
6. Contact Hawthorne's head coaches of the teams who are scheduled to practice at Wagaraw on the night of your rescheduled game to advise them to cancel or move their practices.

Remember:

• Make-up games take priority over practices.
• Do not offer to make up a cancelled away game on our home field

Thanks for everyone's cooperation!!!

Divisional make-up games for postponed home games are now posted on the Calendar section of the website.  Coaches of the home team playing the make-up should must contact the coaches scheduled to practice on Wag that night of the impending make-up.

Make-up games will only be posted to the calendar page once confirmation of the suggested date is obtained from the visiting coach and our referee coordinator has secured referee support for the game.
