Police record checks are required for all team officials (coach, assistant coaches, manager). Handout: Policy on Volunteers & Members with Criminal Records
Zero Tolerance Policy for Referee Abuse
The development of youth referees is as important to soccer as the development of youth players. Verbal abuse directed towards game officials has become a significant issue over the past few years and the drop-out rate for young referees is alarming. Please take the time to download and read these GTYSC policies and notes. These two handouts were distributed to all house league parents. The first is our policy on referee abuse; the second is a note primarily for team officials regarding referee authority. Click on "referee info." on the left. Tuesday, January 23
Rules re Wearing of Jewellery on the Playing Field
Some of our referees are encountering verbal flak regarding removal of players' jewellery before games. The CSA rules are absolutely clear - "no item of jewellery of any sort will be allowed on the field of play, even if it is 'taped' i.e. covered". Please click on the underlined title of this note to link to the CSA policy and review it. Thursday, May 18
To All Travel Coaches - Exhibition Games
If you are planning an exhibition game (regardless of the opponent, two Grimsby teams for instance), you must advise the NSA at least 24 hours in advance. This is an OSA and insurance requirement. If an exhibition game is not sanctioned by the NSA neither the players, coaches nor club are covered by insurance. Games played out of the Niagara District require a travel permit as well from the NSA. The NSA office is at 94 Dunkirk Rd., Unit 6 in St. Catharines - telephone 905-984-8411; fax 905-984-8422. To email the NSA, click here. Wednesday, January 31

Virtually all of our Grimsby soccer fields and facilities are owned by the District School Board of Niagara - their policy manual states "in accordance with the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, smoking is prohibited on all school lands and premises".
