It is critical that you read the information below so you know what is happening in and around the venue on Matchday and you can assist our staff over the season.

SPECTATORS AND SUPPORTERS

• We would like to encourage spectators to watch games from outside the perimeter on the street- THIS IS OUR PREFERRED OPTION.

• We understand there are times though that spectators request access to the players walkway. There is a spectator fee of $4 per person for anyone wishing to enter the players walkway. This will also apply to children who are attending with their parents.

• Watching games from street side of the venue is free and all games will be viewable from the street with the same view as you would have from the players walkway.

This fee is aimed at limiting congestion, this allows our staff to deal with emergencies easier, operate the leagues more easily and reduce any possible conflict arising through team rivalry. Spectators Passes will be available at the player check in desk at the entry to the players walk way.

Spectators fee (to access player walkway) = $4 per person

SPECTATORS CONDUCT

Spectators have a responsibility to encourage all players who are participating regardless of whether they are viewing the game from the street, the deck or the players walkway. Abusing opposition players, coaches, other spectators and staff is completely unacceptable.

We expect all adults to set an example for the young players by showing respect to both sets of players at all times.

GUEST PASS PLAYERS

We understand at times teams need to bring extra players. Guest pass players are one off players who join your team on an occasion when you are short. All registered players pay for their own access to play after purchasing a Season Pass. Any guest players are also charged to play in the games. Guest Pass players are charged at $20 per match. Guest Passes will be available at the player check in desk at the entry to the players walk way, each Guest player will be given a wristband with the team name that they are playing for. The referee will check all players before the match starts.

Guest players appearances are recorded and will determine eligibility for Finals. Player must have played 3 games to be eligible to play. If a team thinks a player is not eligible they can challenge before the match only or in the event the player comes onto the field for the first time in the game they can challenge at the next stoppage. If a players plays the whole game and their is only a challenge after the game finishes then we cannot reverse the fixture. When you challenge the match will be delayed until we either verify the players eligibility.

GUEST PASS - $20 PER PLAYER PER MATCH

PLAYER CONDUCT

All registered players (Season pass holders) have accepted the terms and conditions for play at Soccer5s. Misconduct by players will result in disciplinary actions.

Respect for the referee should be shown at all times. Referees are required to make quick decisions based on their judgement and abuse will not be tolerated. NO REFEREES MEANS NO GAMES!
