RULES FOR AUP ARE AS FOLLOWS:
In a time of need coaches may request age up players (AUP) for their team. Coaches should pre-approve these AUP’s with a FWSC board member. AUP players are for regular season league games and will not be allowed for tournament play.
Rules to determine need of Age Up Players:
- Regular roster player being absent for a league game for any reason.
- Regular roster players being absent due to injury.
- Team roster lacking the players to field the required numbers for league play.
Rules to request players for Age Up Play:
- Contact the Coaching Director before Thursday of the schedule game week for assistance. If you find yourself short on day of game find a Board Member to get approval (this should be the exception rather than the rule).
Rules for game play of Age Up Players:
- Only players from the age group immediately below the team's division are allowed to play as AUP’s. (i.e. U11/U12 age group coaches may only request players from U9//U10 division)
- No team playing with AUP’s may have more total players than the team they are playing against. (i.e. if a team draws two AUP’s and the other team has one less player then one AUP must be dismissed)
- All roster players or Age Up Players will continue to play 50% of playing time.
- Only two Age Up Players are allowed per game.
