In AYSO, our primary concern is for the safety of each participant, adult and youth. To that end, please keep in mind the following:
Shin guards, completely covered
by socks, are required at all practices and games.
Casts, splints, non-soccer (toe)
cleats, and all jewelry are prohibited from games and
practices.
Glasses and contact lenses are
worn at the player's risk.
Knee braces may be worn as long
as the brace is adequately covered and padded so as to eliminate
the chance of injury to the other players on the field.
BLOOD-BORNE PATHOGEN PROCEDURES:
The following procedures will be followed to minimize the risk
of infection by blood-borne diseases. Any player or official
who is bleeding must leave the field of play immediately to receive
treatment, and may not return until the situation is corrected
to the satisfaction of the referee as follows.
a. The bleeding is stopped, the blood has
been removed from the skin surface, the contaminated skin has
been disinfected, and the wound is covered.
b. If there is blood on the uniform, it is Region 138's
policy that the uniform is not to be worn for the remainder of the game. It
must be washed and disinfected before it is used again. Coaches
have a "substitute" jersey available.
