Playing Time

• It is our policy that as a member of a team, each
  player during a game be given equal playing time
  when possible. A child must play at least one
  half of each regulation game during the
  Fall.  For Spring select teams in an MTOC
  division in the U12 and older age groups, a child
  must play at least one third of each game (this
  includes league and MTOC tournament games). For
  all other teams age groups in the Spring the
  child must play at least one half of each game.

Participation

• Players are expected to participate in practices
  and games. Parents are expected to participate by
  insuring that their children are on time for, and
  picked up following practices and games, and that
  they have their equipment with them. If a player
  cannot be present for a scheduled game or
  practice, the coach should be notified in
  advance. Parents should support the coach, help
  maintain discipline, and promote good
  sportsmanship. If problems should arise that
  cannot be mutually resolved, they shall be
  brought to the Vice President for resolution with
  the coach. The Vice President then will inform
  the Board at the next meeting.  If the Vice
  President deems it necessary, he can convene the
  Board to resolve the situation.
