Running your team Coaches conduct Rule XIV H. Coaches, managers, minor officials or players exuding the scent of alcohol, or while using any tobacco products (including chewing tobacco) or while using e-cigarettes, shall not be allowed within the players bench area or the penalty box area. Team meetings Locker room monitoring, gender equity
Co-Ed Locker Rooms When both male and female players are on a team special consideration needs to paid to getting dressed and undressed. Separate locker rooms, with gender appropriate locker room monitors, are the ideal. Taking turns getting dressed in one locker room is the next best option. Separate locker rooms should not impact the amount or quality of coaching available to each player.
Working with your manager Clearly communicate your expectations to your manager Always say thank you
Substitute Goalies How the goalie substitution process works in the regular season At your level or lower (cannot be from a higher level) Within your own association first Within your district next Must wear his/her own jersey Substituting cannot interfere with his/her own team activities and must follow the rest rules two hours from scheduled finish to start Must have District Director approval (both districts if playing outside D3)

This goalie can only play in the situation where your goalie becomes unable to play due to injury, illness or other extenuating circumstance. The back up goalie is allowed to practice with the team.
