What is a "Match"?
Soccer games are often referred to as matches, but the terms can be used interchangeably.
There are 10 matches in the season for 7th and 8th Grade Boys Soccer, and each one will be played against another school in the Northshore School District.
Just like with practice, members of the soccer team are expected to attend matches unless prior communication takes place.
Match Regulations
- Each match consists of two 30 minute halves, with a 5 minute halftime in between.
- A volunteer referee will manage all matches. Please treat them with respect and understand that they are doing the jobs of four people all by themselves.
Transportation
For matches played at Timbercrest students should remain at school for warmups and last minute strategy changes.
Buses will be provided to transport students to games played at other schools. Please be ready to board the buses by 3:15 pm!
At the conclusion of both home and away matches students will need to arrange for transportation home.
Practice Good Sportsmanship
Though it is a competition, it is important to practice good sportsmanship at all matches.
- Refrain from "trash talk".
- Express appreciation toward your competitors whether you are the host or visitor.
- Don't be a sore loser or a sore winner.
- Winning means nothing if you lose off of the field by being disrespectful or disruptive.
