International Youth Football Tournament at Disneyland Paris
YEL advance – Cycle III from January 2022
ID Card/sheet checks
Here is another reminder that the league rules state that ID card/ sheet checks are done prior to the KO of any U7-U14 game. Every team/club sec has been made aware that ID sheets need to be downloaded from WGS and hard copies kept with the team at all times. If a team refuses to do them or hasn’t got them – Why Not? Secondly, if they are produced but they have an additional player not on the sheet and won’t play without them, the official YEL game should not go ahead and it should be reported to the league. Why would they consider doing this as this is effectively an on the day cancellation which is an automatic award of the game to the opposition? Registrations are guaranteed up to 12 noon on Friday – plenty of time for last minute registrations. If correct procedures aren’t followed and the game goes ahead and this is later comes to light, BOTH teams will be fined as one will be condoning the other’s actions in undermining the rules. NO Cards, NO official YEL game. From this point, the official YEL game is cancelled and it’s entirely down to the managers if a game takes place – nothing to do with the league. We’d caution that by not checking cards and potentially allowing unregistered/ ineligible players to play has obvious insurance implications and also raises safeguarding and welfare concerns as you have no idea how old the player is, whether they’re suspended etc. You are putting your children’s welfare at risk which is why we do checks.
Invoices payment terms are 14 days
Reminder to all club secretaries/treasurers. Can we ask that you please log into Scoreline to check for any outstanding invoices that your club may have. Terms are that al invoices should be settled within 14 days.
