All NVYSL Coaches, League reps, and officers; The NVYSL commissioners voted at a recent meeting to require coaches to distribute 'official' rosters as set forth in our rules. The accepted 'official' rosters are the ones generated from the EPYSA online registration system. If these rosters are not exchanged prior to the start of each league game during a season we will proceed using the following progressive disciplinary actions. 1.) The first offense results in a notification to the representative of the offending coach's club; 2.) Second offense results in a fine which is equivalent to the full game fee being assessed to the offending coach's club; 3.) Third offense is a single game suspension for the offending coach; 4.) Fourth offense is a game cancellation! No game will be played and a forfeiture will be charged to the team of the offending coach (which will also result in an additional fine). Obviously we had hoped that it would not get to this point but we have not achieved satisfactory results by just requesting that rosters be exchanged. We will need all of your help to identifying some of the cases because without a coaches game report we will never know when this rule is being violated. If you have any questions, please contact your club representative(s) for additional information.

Northern Valley is interested in utilizing the best group of both young and older adults to conduct the officiating at our games. For that reason, we would like comments from our coaches concerning both the good and unsatisfactory aspects they have encountered when dealing with our referees.  If your referee went "above and beyond" while conducting their duties, the League would like to know.  If your ref was lacking in some aspect of their abilities, the League would like to know.  Remember to keep your comments professional in nature and on scope. Please send an email containing the following information -- the age group, whether it is a boys or girls team, the field location, the date and time of game being referred to, and the name and number of both teams as designated on the schedule -- to the appropriate League Contacts noted below: For U-7/8 teams:  Chris Stamper For U-10 and U-12 teams:  Victor DeOliveira For U-14, U-16 and U-19 teams:  Pete Csongradi and Victor DeOliveira
