Gentlemen, it’s that time of the year again. We will be starting new Over 60 season games in the next few weeks. The season should go on for about 3 months and we will take a few Sundays off to observe the usual holidays. See more details and rules below.

Special Players:
- Special players are club members over 65 years old who are in decent shape. ***

- Underage players cannot switch teams without the league’s approval.
Game Rules:
- No sliding tackles will be allowed in the Over 60 leagues.
- Any player receiving a yellow card will be asked to leave the game for 5 minutes. Or at least one play if the subs are not available.
- All players must treat referees with respect. The altercation with club officials or referees will result in expulsion and all league fees will be forfeited.
- Any team or player who instigates a fight, or fights before, during, or after any game shall immediately be removed from the club without fee reimbursement.
- If a player receives a “RED” card during a game an automatic 1-game suspension will be enforced. In case of flagrant or professional foul the disciplinary committee could recommend 3-game suspension.
- A second yellow card during a single game is an automatic one game suspension.
- Disagreements and/or suggestions should be received by the captain before or after the game. Not during.
* League fees are $125 per season; uniforms are not included.
