Sideline Management Rules

 

Important note to all parents:
 
Jim Herbek received an email warning in reference to "Sideline Management-Federation Rules" from the Referee Association. It seems even with repeated warnings issued over the P.A. System and from our coaches, we had spectators on the wrong side of the rope during our home games against West Paterson.  Due to some sideline injuries to spectators in other states which resulted in lawsuits, new "restricted area" rules were instituted this season from the Referee Association.  Sideline management is very serious and much more of a concern this year than in year's past. All players, coaches, equipment managers, and statiticians need to be two yards from sideline when the ball is snapped. All spectators must remain behind the rope. Failure to comply results in a warning, then a (5) yard penalty, then (15) yard penalties thereafter.   This rule is for the safety of all who attend the games.  Thank you in advance for your full cooperation.
