summer flexibility

Summer changes:

We have to be flexible because the turf is not finished.  When the turf is done, there should be plenty of space to use and we will stick to the schedule.  Until then, we have to cancel thursday's (6/6) breakout session.  We will, instead, do ball-work and play on friday. We will start at 9:30 Friday.

6v6 info from organizer:


If we should need to cancel the games at any point during the season, we will indicate such on the rainout line.  816.735.4700  I will also inform all team contact persons immediately via email and, if necessary, via phone.   You can always email or call me if you have a question on the status of the games.  mwickenh@rockhursths.edu 816.728.2931
Finally, please make sure to bring any not yet submitted registrations, parent signatures, league fees and t-shirt orders on Wednesday.  Also, make sure your team brings two game balls and two separate sets of t-shirts/jerseys of the same color.

6v6 rules and directions


2011 KC Metro High School 6 v 6 Summer Soccer League Rules

Good afternoon, everyone.

As the contact person for your team, you are responsible for relaying the following information to the other members of your team. 

The Kansas City Metro High School 6 vs. 6 Summer Soccer League will be played at the Fountain Bluff Soccer Complex on Wednesday and Sunday nights in June.  (Directions and a link to the complex website are noted below.) This complex has great fields and plenty of parking!

In the event of a rain out, the league coordinators will get in touch with team contact persons as soon as possible via e-mail, telephone, and/or text.  Players and parents can also call the rainout line and hear a recorded message.  The rainout line number is 816.439.4495.  The team contacts will then be responsible for informing their various team members about the cancellation and the subsequent make up date(s).  Rainouts will be played on the immediate Thursday following a rainout.  Game times, opponents, and field numbers will be the same.

Games will start promptly at 5:00, 6:00 and 7:00 on Sundays and on Wednesdays.  Teams must have a minimum of 4 rostered players on hand at the scheduled start time in order to play.  If a team does not have a minimum of 4 players at the scheduled start time, that team will forfeit the match. A team that forfeits more than twice will not be invited back to the league. If you foresee a conflict, contact Mike Wickenhauser or Chris Lawson ASAP. Teams travel from all over the metro area to participate and common courtesy is valued and appreciated.

Note:  Rosters cannot be changed after June 12th.  If a player who is not on a team’s roster participates in any match, the team with the non-rostered player will forfeit that match.  Players, however, can double roster.  Simply inform us of this fact.

Games will consist of two 25 minute halves.  There will be a five minute half time for each match.  There is no mercy rule.  Each game will be played in its entirety, regardless of lopsided scores.  The goal is to get better, and players need to play to get better.

If the game is tied at the end of the second half, all games will be decided by penalty kicks. 

Captains/contact persons are responsible for reporting all final scores to onsite coordinators at the conclusion of each game, win or lose.

During 6 v 6 matches, all high school rules apply with the following notable exceptions:
1.)  “Throw ins” will be kicked back into play instead of thrown back into play.  (Players
       cannot score directly on these “kick ins” just as they cannot score directly on goal
       kicks and kick offs.)
2.)  Substitutions can be made by any team on any “throw in,” goal kick, corner kick, or
       kick off.
3.)   The game will have a running 25 minute clock for each half. 
4.)   A wall to defend a re-start must be at least five yards away.
5.)   Scores must be called out after each goal, and the home team is responsible for keeping the score. Any disputes will be resolved by the onsite coordinator, usually resulting in a tie.
6.)   This is a player-run league, so players are responsible for officiating their own games.  Disputes will be decided by onsite coordinators, and the decision of these onsite coordinators is final.
7.)   A foul cannot be challenged. If a foul is called, please respect the opponent’s call and play from there.  On-site coordinators, however, reserve the right to step in if a team is calling fouls excessively when fouls are not truly occurring.
8.)   All fouls will be direct kicks (one touch).  If any foul occurs in the box, regardless of type, it is an automatic penalty kick.
9.)   All penalty kicks are taken at the center of the penalty box. (12 yards from goal)
10.)         There is no offsides.

For the safety and well being of all participants, all players are asked to wear shin guards.  Metal braces are not allowed, and casts must be properly covered with foam. 

Each player must have the requisite jersey color on while he/she is on the field.  All players should bring a different, matching colored jersey to each game.  In the event that two teams have the same jersey color, the away team will be asked to wear its alternate jerseys.)

Each team must also bring two game balls for each match.  The three game balls not in use will be placed behind the goals to maintain the speed of play when a ball goes out of bounds.

Conduct unbecoming a player that occurs within the soccer complex can result in immediate dismissal from the league.  This conduct includes fighting, taunting, inappropriate language, reckless driving, and the use of alcohol/drugs.

Again, we will not tolerate such behavior.  Please make sure the other members of your team are aware of the severe consequences that are sure to result from such behaviors. 

While I am sure this isn’t everything, the above information should be more than enough to get us started.  Contact persons are asked to arrive 30 minutes prior to their game on June 2nd to ask questions and review additional rules. 

If you have questions, call Chris Lawson  (cell)  816.392.5158  / (home) 816.407.7342 or Mike Wickenhauser (cell) 816.728.2931. 
                                                              
Welcome, everyone, to the Kansas City Metro High School 6 vs. 6 Summer Soccer League.  Let’s play.
