Super Rec Division Schedule

The game schedule for our Super Rec teams is created in conjunction with the NorCal calendar. We are currently waiting for details regarding the official seeding weekend. As soon as we have this information from the league, we will announce the schedule. Thank you for your understanding.

The exact procedure for managing game cards and reporting scores varies by age group. Please follow the specific instructions for your team below:

U6 - U8 Teams

• Game Cards: No game cards are required for this age group.
• Score Reporting: On game day, both the home and away coaches will receive an email from TeamSideline with a score confirmation link.
• IMPORTANT: Scores are not considered final until BOTH coaches have confirmed the score through the link.

U9 - U14 Teams

• Home Coach: You are responsible for printing the official game card (link below) and providing it to the referee before the match.
• Score Reporting: After the game, both home and away coaches will receive an email from TeamSideline with a score confirmation link.
• IMPORTANT: Scores are not considered final until BOTH coaches have confirmed the score through the link.

U15 and Older Teams

• Home Coach: You are responsible for printing the game card from your GotSport account and giving it to the referee. After the game, you must enter the final score into GotSport.
• Away Coach: Your primary responsibility is to verify the score with the home coach and referee after the game.

If you are unsure about any part of this process, please contact your age-appropriate Director of Coaching for guidance.
