                                 General Use of Fields                               

 

  Safety first!

§         Walk the field and survey for any safety issues each time you use a field. If you see an issue that raises concern, that cannot be remedied immediately contact our MLU Fields Director. If there is an issue of immediate danger, leave the area, contact a club official on-site or call Bob Gilinger.

§         Are goal structures secure, so they will not tip or blow over?

§         Is there debris on the field that could injure a player?

§         Are there large or deep holes in the field that need to be addressed?

§         Lightning- if you see it in the sky then it is too close. You need to leave the field, and seek shelter in a car or building.

§         No smoking please!

 

Scheduling

§         All individuals and/or teams affiliated with MLU must be scheduled to use a field at anytime of the year.

§         All practice field scheduling should be done through our practice field assignor.

§         All game field scheduling should be done through our game field assignor.

 

Sanitation

§         It is the scheduled team’s responsibility to clean-up the field after use. Please make sure that all bottles and general debris is disposed of properly. This common courtesy extends to all practice, training and game fields.

§         While traveling to other venues outside of Mt. Laurel, please remember to practice common courtesy and clean-up before you leave.

 

  Courtesy

§         If another scheduled team is waiting to use the field you are on, please leave the area promptly when your scheduled time has lapsed. Do not wait for or expect someone to ask you to leave.

§         Remember this is a youth organization and adoring eyes and ears are tuning in. The fields are no place for profanity.

 Concession Stand Procedures                                                                     

 

 

 

1.  Purpose: The Concession Stands will be operated to generate monies that can be used for all teams that are members of the Mount Laurel United Soccer Club.  Monies will also be used to improve and maintain our soccer fields.

 

2.  All teams that are members of the Mount Laurel United Soccer Club are required to participate in the operations of the concession stands.  Each team should designate a Team Coordinator and provide the name and phone number of that person to the MLU Soccer Concession Stand Coordinator listed above.  Coaches will be designated as the Team Point of Contact until a Team Coordinator’s name is provided. 

 

3.  Teams will provide at least three workers to the designated concession stand at the designated time.  Two of the three workers must be adults. No more than six people should be in the concession stand at the same time.  Children under age thirteen will not be allowed in the concession stand due to safety reasons. 

 

4.  Schedules will follow assigned home games, at the fields next to the concession stands, as closely as possible.  Schedules will be sent to all Coaches/Team Coordinators and will be posted on the MLU Website.  Teams will be assigned no more than two times per season.  The concession stand located on Trotter’s Field will be operational during the Spring and Fall seasons.  The concession stand located at Laurel Acres Park will only be operational during the Fall season.  Teams will generally work four hours.

 

5.  Concession Stand food, beverages and supplies will be provided by the Mount Laurel United Soccer Club Board.  A listing of items to be sold and a price list will be located at the Concession Stand site. Food and beverages consumed by workers must be paid for. Team Coordinators are required to annotate in the inventory log any problems with food, beverages or equipment.

 

6.  The opening team will be met by the MLU Concession Stand Coordinator/Designated Board Member, who will provide the cashbox with change and answer any questions. Team Coordinators will count the money in the cashbox and sign an opening balance in the cashbox log.  Team Coordinators will count the cashbox again at the end of their shift and log in the ending balance.  Each Team Coordinator will follow the same process.  The last Team Coordinator will then sign the cash box over to the MLU Soccer Club Accountant/Designated Board Member.  The MLU Accountant/Designated Board Member will verify the final balance and close out the cashbox log by writing in the final verified balance and signing for the profits for the day.  

 

 

7.  Please follow all equipment instructions and posted safety & sanitation guidelines.

Scheduling a field                                                                       

How to schedule a field for team practice

   Check the current online schedule for openings. Email the game field assignor or the practice field assignor, with your first and second choices of practice slots. Please include your team name, day, time, field and age group.

 

How to reschedule a cancelled SJGSL or SJSL game

 

1) Check on availability of fields.  You can go to our website and view the online schedule. 

When you give me a tentative date time, I will put your team in that spot (it's listed in pink on the schedule, indicating a tentative game), subject to you confirming later.

 

2) Contact the opposing coach and get his/her concurrence.  It's best that you go in with a couple of options as far as dates are concerned.

 

3) When you both agree, contact your appropriate league commissioner, requesting that a make up game be played.  They will arrange for a referee.  For the SJGSL the contact is Pat Adams .For the boys, the commissioner is Chris Piccini .

 

4) Confirm back to the home game field assignor, that the game is on.

 

How to schedule or reschedule a MAPS or JAGS home game

 

1)   Contact the home game field assignor and request dates and times for your games.
