BAYS League Information • 10 game season, Sept 7 through Nov. 9 • Three coaches maximum on the sideline. • Bring 2 copies of BAYS Roster to each game - signed by head coach, Sue’s signature not needed. • Bring Emergency Medical Report to each game/practice. • BAYS website www.bays.org Bookmark your Team Page, Section Page with schedule, standings and contact info for other teams. • Email game score to Section Captain by Sun night to have scores posted on site. • Login to BAYS site to make sure your contact info is correct and to see opposing coach email and phone info. Your USRID is usually firstinitial,last name (e.g. tsmith) and your initial password is the last 4 digits of your home phone. Contact Sue if you still need help. • Your BAYS Division Director is your first point of contact for questions/conflicts
BAYS Coach ID Update • Coaches must have completed these 3 MA Youth Soccer requirements: Registered and confirmed in Stack Sports, approved valid photo uploaded, approved CORI status. Once coaches have met those 3 conditions, registrars can list them on a BAYS team roster. Coaches also need to fulfill the Abuse Training and Concussion Training requirements but there will be some leeway on completing this due to those systems being bottlenecked. • Coaches must bring a government issued photo ID or a picture of that photo on ID on their phone to the fields with them. • Prior to kickoff at every game, referees will ask ALL coaches on the sidelines to show them a government issued photo ID or a picture of a government issued ID on their phone, which will then be matched against the coach names listed on the roster. • Only coaches who have a valid ID and are listed on a team roster will be allowed on the sideline with the kids. – If a team has a substitute coach for a game and the coach is not listed on that team's roster, the coach must be listed on a valid roster from another team in that club, show the referee that roster, and show the referee a government issued photo ID or a picture of a government issued ID on their phone. • NO Credential Lanyard or Coaches Card will be required at this time. • This plan will be in effect until further notice. Basically, we need to wait until the Safe Soccer program and CDC head injury training websites, as well as the ability to print the required MYSA lanyard credential, function without undue delay before implementing those requirements.
Communication and Game Day • Communicate with your team during the week on specifics of game time / location, attendance/carpools. • Contact opposing team ahead of time to confirm game time/location; don’t assume that an unanswered email equals confirmation • You must be logged into the BAYS web-site to see opposing coach contact info. • Equal playing time policy for all teams (see WUSC website) • Coaches responsible for behavior of parents, communicate Zero Tolerance to parents • Check on color conflicts, pinnies available to borrow from Sue • Arrive at field 30 min before game to set up the field, game should start (opening kick-off – not pre-game pep talk) promptly.
