⚽ Guest Players / Pull-Ups

At times, coaches may need to temporarily borrow players from another team due to:

  • Injuries 
  • Excessive heat 
  • Position shortages
     

When This May Happen

Recreational: If fewer than 2 substitutes are available.


Competitive: If fewer than 3 - 4 substitutes are available and roster limits are not exceeded. 


Guest players are brought in for games only and continue practicing with their assigned team.


Coaches must contact the other team’s coach before reaching out to players or parents.

Our priority is always to play rostered players when available. Guest players are used only when necessary, not for competitive advantage.
