NASSAU COUNTY PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER TOURNAMENT DUTIES OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS

SPECIAL NOTE: If the Director is a participating coach, another person shall be designated to fulfill the following duties: GAME TIME All games will begin at the time set by the Tournament Committee. Coaches will terminate warm-ups in order to have their teams ready to begin 5 minutes before game time. INCLEMENT WEATHER If there is doubt whether the game will be played:

a. During the preliminary rounds the Host Director will contact the participating schools to reach a decision. Home team (host school) should notify the Sport Coordinator and officials should the game be postponed and to establish make-up date, time, site, etc.

b. During the Section VIII Semi-Finals, Finals, and Southeast Regional games, the Section VIII Tournament director will contact the participating schools.

HOME TEAM Higher seeded teams during the entire tournament. The home team will contact the opposing school so there is no conflict in the color of game uniforms.

SPORTSMANSHIP

Students learn immeasurable unique lessons through interscholastic athletic participation.

Educators universally agree, of all the goals established as

outcomes for secondary students involved in sports, SPORTSMANSHIP IS PRIMARY.

Students who learn to value and practice sportsmanlike

behavior are developing the characteristics of good citizenship.

Honesty, generosity, self discipline, a sincere concern for others, ethical behavior and a commitment to fair play are

all demonstrated in sportsmanship.

Nassau County Public High School Athletic Association

member schools make sportsmanship a premier concern
