Thanks so much for joining us!
When you registered you received a confirmation that included a request to SAVE-THE-DATE along with an invitation to attend one of our season kick-off meetings this week. We hope you saved the date and can join us!
We are trying a new format for our kick-off meetings this season. There will be two separate meetings: 1) Indy Open House for individual registrants, and 2) Captain's Cocktails for Team Captains. The information that these two groups require is different so we thought we would do two separate meetings and tailor the meeting content to these different needs.
Below are the details of the meetings, as well as information that you'll need before the first night of play. Please read all the information below carefully and Captains, please pass this information along to your teammates.
Who Should Attend: We strongly recommend that all individual registrants attend (those who registered as an individual [with or without friends] and will be added to a team that FCSSC creates).
Why: To learn about FCSSC, our fantastic partnerships and benefits and just generally how it all works. It is also your chance to get your team packages, to pick up your equipment, to meet your teammates and to pick a team captain.
When: THIS WEDNESDAY, May 9, 7:30pm-9:30pm
Where: FCSSC's New Office, 890 Dundas St. (just across the street from the Western Fair Farmer's Market)
What to Bring: If you have not yet paid for your registration, or you have a balance owing because of a league change, please bring cash or cheque. Please also bring $75 (cash, cheque or credit) for your equipment deposit if you need to pay one. Only one person on your team must pay the equipment deposit, which is refundable at the end of the season when equipment is returned in good condition.
Who Should Attend: We strongly recommend that all team captains attend (those who registered and paid for a full team). Though it is not necessary, any and all of your teammates are also welcome to join us.
Why: To learn about this season with FCSSC and your partnership benefits (new and old!), to get your team packages, to pick up your equipment, to meet other captains in your league, and to have a drink on us!
When: THIS THURSDAY, May 10, 7:30pm-9:30pm
Where: FCSSC's New Office, 890 Dundas St. (just across the street from the Western Fair Farmer's Market)
What to Bring: If you have not yet paid for your team's registration, or you have a balance owing because of a league change, please bring cash or cheque. Please also bring $75 (cash, cheque or credit) for your equipment deposit if you need to pay one and have not done so on-line already.
RSVPs: PLEASE DO NOT RSVP to either kick-off party. The FCSSC team will be here at the office and prepared to host all who can make it on Wednesday and/or Thursday nights. If you cannot make it to the meeting please contact your teammates (using the contact list that is available to you on-line once logged in) to learn what you missed and/or be sure to make it to your first night of play where we will do our best to bring you up to speed.
Start Date: The first day of our Sprummer leagues is this Sunday, May 13, 2012. Depending on your sport of choice your league will start on the following Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.
Games: Depending on the sport, games will last 1 or 1.5 hours but you should plan to spend the evening so that you have time to go with us to our partner pubs after games. We will continue the socializing off the field/court there, over free food and drinks!
Schedules: The schedules will be posted on Friday afternoon, AFTER THE KICK-OFF MEETINGS, on the FCSSC website. You must be rostered on a team, have a valid log in ID, and be logged in to see schedules and standings. We encourage all members to use the NEW DOWNLOAD FEATURE provided with the schedule to transfer your league schedule into your personal calendar. But remember, schedules can and will change! Please make a habit of checking your schedule on the FCSSC website ON GAME DAY! Captains, please note, you and your teammates will not be able to see the schedule if your on-line roster does not meet the minimum waiver requirements. Please see "WAIVERS" below for more information.
Defaulting: Please do not default any games as teams expect to play against an opponent each week. Bring out subs if needed (The Players Forum on the FCSSC website is very handy for offering to be and finding a sub). Team Captains should bring waivers to each game in case there are subs who need to sign one. If your team can not make a game, please contact your opponent prior to the game to let them know out of courtesy. Team Captains can find the contact information for their opponent under the Captains Contact List section of the website - you must be logged in to see it.
Locations: All location details are available on the website by clicking on the location name in the Schedule. You must be logged in to see this information.
Equipment: FCSSC will provide the common equipment for all of our sports. The equipment deposit per team is $75. It must be paid at the kick-off meeting, by one person from every team in the Softball, Football, Soccer and Dodgeball leagues (unless already paid on-line when registering). Deposits can be paid in cash, cheque or with Visa and Mastercard (no debit, sorry!). The deposit is cashed (in the case of cheques) then refunded at the end of the season upon the return of the equipment. Using FCSSC's equipment (and paying the deposit for it) is optional for Basketball, Beach Volleyball, and Ultimate Frisbee. If teams do not pay the deposit they are required to provide their own equipment that complies with FCSSC equipment guidelines. Equipment will be managed by FCSSC for the other leagues (Floor Hockey, and Inner Tube Water Polo) so no equipment deposit is required for these sports. Golfers must provide all of their own equipment.
Please note that FCSSC does not provide personal equipment such as shin guards, or baseball gloves or bats. You must provide these to suit your own comfort. For any personal equipment or apparel that you may want to purchase, such as shoes, jerseys, or safety equipment, visit our partner, Source For Sports (406 Wharncliffe Rd. S.) for great, FCSSC-only discounts.
Team Uniform: All players in a sport that does not divide opposing players with a centre line, like basketball, soccer, floor hockey, and flag football are required to bring a light and dark t-shirt to every game OR team jerseys, to differentiate players on the court/field. Check out the great jersey deals from Source For Sports Teamworks to get the best jerseys at the best prices for your team this season. There are some great ones in the league!
Rules & Policy: FCSSC's most important rule is "first-and-foremost-for-fun". It is your responsibility to ensure that you have read and understood all of the rules for your particular sport (available by clicking on your sport under Sport Leagues) as well as FCSSC Policies. Team Captains should ensure that all teammates (including subs) are aware of these rules and policies.
Reporting Scores: Each Team Captain is required to report their score before 5pm the next business day. The reporting for each division can be found at "Report Scores" on the website, once you're logged in.
Spirit Score is a component of the scoring system, accounting for 25% of the standings. Before ranking your opponents in terms of sportsmanship from 0 - 5, please familiarize yourself with the Spirit Point Guidelines on the website. It is essential that all teams accurately use the same rating scale for assigning spirit points.
Waivers: All participants in FCSSC leagues must fill out a waiver before they play!! Most players complete the waiver when registering online. If you have not completed the waiver, or you are bringing a sub who needs to sign the waiver this can be done on our website electronically or manually. If the waiver is not completed online prior to play the sub MUST complete the waiver manually courtside BEFORE playing with the team. Failure to complete the waiver will result in inability to play. NEW** Our system now has minimum waiver compliance built in which means that, in order to see the schedule, all teams must have waivers signed in our system for at least the minimum number of players required on the court. For example, basketball teams must have a minimum of 4 members on the roster, each with a signed waiver, in order to see the schedule. Team Captains, if you cannot see the schedule after schedules have been published, chances are your roster is incomplete. If you require assistance to complete your roster please let us know. info@fcssc.ca or 519.439.4263
We hope you enjoy your Sprummer 2012 Season with FCSSC!
I look forward to meeting you all at the kick-off meetings this Wednesday or Thursday!
