RISK MANAGEMENT

Below are (3) three parts that are mandatory for any adult to be added to a team account/roster and/or receive an Adult Participation pass. Each of these three (3) components are linked through the individual coach's or individual manager GotSport profile. SafeSport training is required for any adult or player turning 18 during the seasonal year.
BACKGROUND CHECKS
Background checks will now expire on May 31 of each year, however, they will still be valid for two (2) years.
If your background check is expiring this year, you will need to submit your check on or after June 1, and again we encourage everyone to do this as early in the summer months as possible as the checks do take time to clear and CANNOT be sped up once submitted.

HYSA FIELD CLOSURES AND RAINOUTS
Each member club controls the use of fields within their boundaries. Only the club president (or designated board member) can close club fields before the start of regularly scheduled game times. It is expected that fields will be closed a minimum of two (2) hours before the affected games as a courtesy to teams traveling to the affected club. If a significant number of HYSA member clubs close all fields, the HYSA Executive Board will evaluate whether or not to cancel the entire Association's weekend game schedule. Finally, if there is an impending weather threat or condition that would affect the entire HYSA area, the HYSA President has the authority to announce a complete shutdown of the entire Association's weekend game schedule. If HYSA finds it necessary to cancel the entire weekend's schedule, each club president will be notified to inform his/her club's coaches by a HYSA Executive Board member.
RAINOUT AND FIELD CLOSURE INFORMATION
Playing Season
1. The HYSA schedule will schedule teams for 8-10 matches during the fall season. The total number of matches for each play group will be determined by the number of teams that sign up for that play group.
2. A split season will be administered for U9 and U10 age divisions that will more equitably bracket competition for high–middle-low teams.
3. UIL or state rules regarding play will only apply to affected age divisions.
4. A club is subject to a fine for any team that does not show up for a scheduled match not to exceed referee fees.
Team Formation.
2. Clubs registering teams for competition in the fall season are required to furnish a list of all teams to the HYSA Scheduler no later than August 1. This list must include the team name, age division, and level of play (division) for each team. Each club is responsible for the accuracy of all information submitted. No team will be allowed to register for the fall season after August 15.
Reschedules, Inclement Weather, and field closures
1. Regularly scheduled games can only be postponed or rescheduled because of (1) inclement weather or conditions, (2) other sanctioned HYSA soccer activities, or (3) lack of center referee for Division II and Division III 11-aside games. All teams are required to show up for all scheduled games (regular or make-up) at the field and at the time scheduled unless notified prior to the game by the team’s club president.
2. Each member club controls the use of fields within their boundaries. Only the club president (or designated board member) can close the fields before regularly scheduled Baysa game times. When this becomes necessary, the field closures and rain-out procedures as stated will be followed. The HYSA Scheduler notifies the HYSA Directors of Referees. If a significant number of HYSA member clubs close their fields, the HYSA Executive Board will evaluate whether or not to cancel the entire Association’s weekend game schedule. Finally, if there is an impending weather threat that would affect the entire HYSA area, the HYSA President will announce a shutdown of the entire
Association’s weekend’s game schedule.
If HYSA finds it necessary to cancel the entire weekend’s schedule, each club president will be notified to inform his/her club’s coaches by a HYSA Executive Board Member.
3. If a game is declared a rain out or is stopped prior to the start of the second half, each coach involved will contact
their scheduler. The club schedulers (home and visitors) will submit to the HYSA Scheduler, within five days, a list of all games (home and visitors) that are to be rescheduled. Games not submitted to the HYSA Scheduler will not be rescheduled and will be submitted to HYSA D&P. The HYSA Scheduler will reschedule the game at any available open slot of either club’s field, first priority to the home club, second priority to the visiting club. If no site is available, a neutral site may be assigned. The HYSA Scheduler will confirm all reschedules and arrange for referees, if available.
4. All postponed games must be reschedule within 22 days of the originally scheduled date. Failure to comply with the 22 day requirement may cause the game be forfeited. If a coach has a conflict with the reschedule, arrangements must be made for someone else to coach the team.
5. Coaches will not reschedule a game without adherence to the above procedure. The HYSA field schedule will have final authority in rescheduled games.
6. Once a game has started, only the referee can decide if the game is to be called because of foul weather or
possible damage to the playing field. If the game is stopped during the first half of play, the game must be
rescheduled and replayed in its entirety. If the game has reached half-time or play is into the second half of
play, the game will stand with the score as it is at the particular time. The referee has the final authority to
postpone a game because of weather.
