Uniforms
In an effort to reduce costs, teams do not need to have an alternate jersey. Instead, in the case of a colour conflict, the home team may use matching training t shirts or pinnies. Numbers must be visible, either printed on the shirts or pinnies, or seen through the pinnies.
Referees
Referees will be assigned by the EODSA. Clubs are encouraged to identify youth referees within their Clubs who would benefit from this program and share their information with the EODSA.
There will be no referees at U8. Coaches will manage the games.
Coach Certification Requirements
These requirements apply to all coaches that are on the bench with players during EOSL Indoor games. Teams may not register coaches as managers to avoid completing the certifications.
Scores and Standings
Scores will be kept internally and shared with Clubs when requested to aid in team placement
