SAVE THE DATE
Coaches,
Can you please let your parents/players know that the deadline for travel registration has been extended until Dec. 15. Any registrations received after that date must be accompanied by a $25 late fee along with the $50 registration fee. If registrations come in after Dec. 15 without the late fee included in the check, that player will not be officially registered.
Travel forms can be found online at livonia-soccer.com. Players should mail them to: Livonia Soccer Club, PO Box 445, Livonia NY 14487 Make checks payable to Livonia Soccer Club.
A team count is due to RDYSL by Jan. 15, and the travel team registration deadline is Feb. 2. There are no exceptions to the deadline and a very large fee for teams that do register and then pull out. Please see the RDYSL Calendar of Events; also, the fee schedule is on page 29 of the Rules and Regulations.
If you have any questions, please contact me or any member of the LSC board of directors.
Thanks,
Debra Czudak
RDYSL Travel League

A deposit of $50 per player (checks made payable to Livonia Soccer Club) must accompany the form; forms without payment will not be accepted. There are NO REFUNDS.

Livonia residents have preferred placement over players from surrounding area. Players will be placed on teams according to their school grade/age, and at the discretion of the LSC board of directors. However, due to RDYSL team roster restrictions, some players may be placed as “tournament only” members. Try-outs to determine travel vs. tournament players will be held by members of the LSC board of directors, in agreement with the team coach.
This league was started approximately 12 years ago to give the 3-6 graders an opportunity to play fall soccer in a developmental environment. Since GVBBSC and Livonia Soccer Clubs began managing this league we have tried to keep it a fun and enjoyable experience for the players. This year we have had several issues with parents and coaches getting ejected from games. The conduct leading to these ejections is unacceptable. This is a ZERO tolerance league. Let the coaches coach, let the players play, and let the referees officiate the game without feeling threatened. There is a shortage of officials in all sports at the youth and HS level because the abuse they often take drives them away from the games. We ask that you be tolerant of young officials as this league provides a development opportunity for them as well.
As a result of these recent issues, new rules are now in place:
If a coach gets ejected from a game, they will miss the remaining games on that particular day, and all of the games scheduled for the following weekend.
If parents start getting unruly, the referee is to stop the game and come over to the coach. If the coach so chooses, he/she can take a moment to speak to the parents. If the parents remain unruly, the referee will stop the game, and issue a red card to the coach. The coach must then sit out any other games that day and any games the following weekend. The game that had to be stopped will be forfeited.
