3 1.0 INTRODUCTION Thank you for registering for the Team23 Outdoor 5- a-side league for this term which is going into its 2 nd year. Our 5-a-side outdoor football league runs from October to March, giving your teammates the chance to be crowned Winter and Spring Champions. We also run a league cup too! Just Play Leagues and Tournaments are less focused on competition, with a greater emphasis on participation and enjoyment. We reward participation by giving you a range of Just Play rewards such as t-shirts, hoodies and other goodies, so it is great that you have chosen to get involved. Please look out for other one-off tournaments that are going on through the year, we have plenty of leagues and tournaments on offer this term! Please make sure you read this captain pack carefully. This will provide you with all the details you need. If you have any questions, don t hesitate to ring, or visit my office which is located at the Sport Centre above Evolve gym. Look forward to seeing you on Sunday nights soon! Sarah Nash University Football Activator

4 2.0 GENERAL REGULATIONS 2.1 Eligibility No previous experience is necessary and sports are open to all University of Essex students and staff. Players are allowed to play for one team per sport. Any player caught participating for two teams will be banned from all Just Play activity for the term. Any team caught fielding an ineligible player will be disqualified from the league with no refund. No more than one University 1 st or 2 nd team player can play in any sport. 2.2 Finding your Fixtures/Results 2.3 Captains Meeting Once registered, you will be sent details of a captains meeting to be held at the Sport Centre seminar room. It is compulsory for you or another member of your team to attend this meeting. Non-attendance will result in expulsion from the league. 2.4 Continued Non- Attendance If your team does not turn up to a fixture your opponent will be awarded a walkover and will win 5-0. However, continued non-attendance to league fixtures will incur the following penalties: 1 match warning 2 matches - expulsion from the league and any Just Play activity for the academic year (with no refunds available) 2.5 League Dispute After the entry deadline, a fixture list will be sent to all captains by including permission status for captains to access our fixtures/results software Top Tournament. Fixture lists will also be placed on the Sport Centre notice boards opposite the sports hall and updated weekly. At the end of the league season, teams that have been promoted or progressed through to the knock-out stages will be notified of details before the start of the competition. In the event of a dispute. A report is to be submitted by Captains of both teams involved and from the referee/umpire where applicable. The reports must be ed to sconlon@essex.ac.uk. The Just Play committee will then decide a course of action. All Just Play entrants are bound by the Sport Centre code of conduct found in this document.

5 2.6 Duration of Match and Arrival 2.9 Disciplinary Code & Suspensions Games are 30 minutes long. We do however allow 1 minute for a small warm up period. Captains must report their attendance to a member of Team 23/Just Play staff on duty before each game, and must be ready to start at the allocated time. If your team arrives after the kick-off time by 5 minutes, then the game will be void and a 5-0 walkover will be awarded to the team that arrive on time. The game may be played as a friendly. 2.7 Reporting of Results Scores must be submitted to the Team 23 coordinator on the night by either the winning captain or referee. After the respective games, however, both captains must report the score using the Top Tournament software. 2.8 Referees Teams with a poor disciplinary record or teams who are consistently reported for playing in an aggressive manner will be removed from competition and barred from entry to all future Just Play competitions. Teams whose league status is terminated shall forfeit all privileges of league status with immediate effect without any right to claim for any refund of fees. Please make sure you have read the Just Play disciplinary code Just Play Spirit Team captains should understand the spirit of Just Play and its role within the student experience at the University of Essex. Captains should avoid using University club players with the intention of creating a team that will be too strong for the opposition, particularly if this action deprives a regular squad player of a starting place. Lastly, enjoy and have fun! Matches will be refereed by a neutral referee, normally a staff member of the Sport Centre or a qualified referee from the Essex FA. If any players are interested in refereeing intramural matches, please contact the Sport Development Officer sconlon@essex.ac.uk. We have pathways and opportunities for both qualified and unqualified referees!
