- Medic Alert wrist bracelets are not considered jewelry.They show information about a person’s medical condition, severe allergies, etc. in cases where the person cannot give the info themselves (unconscious, head injury, etc.) They must stay on the player, taped down on the wrist so as not to come loose. Do not call undue attention to the children who need to wear these.

- Hats may not be worn during a game with the exception of the goalkeeper.
- Parents, other spectators, blankets, strollers, etc. are to be situated on the opposite side of the field as the players and should be set back at least 10 feet from the sidelines for everyone’s safety.
- Absolutely no one is allowed on either goal line.
- Rough play, foul language, and all other forms of unsportsman-like conduct are not allowed and should result in immediate removal from the game by the coach. Depending on severity, SYS administrators may seek to levy additional punishments after further review.
- Pets are not allowed on the Cole St. fields at any time. This is a town rule that SYS will enforce.
- If a player gets injured, a referee cannot touch, assist or move the player. Leave this to medical professionals, coaches and parents.

Games and practices should not take place on field locations with puddles or standing water.
