Player Entrance

Please have your team meet no later than 1 HOUR 15 MINS prior to the scheduled start of your game, you will want to meet outside of the main east side entrance gate. When your team is altogether players and coaches can all enter at the player’s entrance, there will be security at the gate checking rosters as you enter. Once entered please keep teams together and head directly to weigh-ins. Only 5 coaches, and 1 team manager will be permitted to enter through the player’s entrance and not be charged admission. Coaches and managers must have a badge and must be on the AAU roster to be on the field. Please be sure to remind your families of the admission fees as well. It is very important you arrive early, if a game can start early, we WILL start the game early to stay on schedule. Please be sure your parents are aware of this as well.

There are no designated areas for warmups so either plan to meet elsewhere ahead of time or know that your warmup will be limited to the concrete area outside of the stadium inside the gated area.

Weigh Ins

We will have our scales and an area set up for weigh-ins. However, weigh-ins will still be conducted as they have been during the regular season, with both team managers conducting them and 1 League Rep. Please be sure to allow for enough time to complete both team's weigh-ins before your game time. Weigh-ins will be located right inside of the admission gates and can be done after your team has entered.

Before the game, while you are in the tunnel, please line your players up in numerical order. The announcer will call each player by name, and they can run out onto the field.

WVYFC Families,

Few reminders for game day. .

All Game Field Reminders:

-Spectators are not allowed on the turf fields, in Highschool Stadiums all spectators are to stay in the stands. Only athletes and BADGED representatives are allowed on the field

-4J and Hamlin do not allow us to have canopy or chairs on track surfaces.
-Please be kind and courteous to all volunteers, opposing team members and officials

-Remember to pick up after yourselves after games. We have had alot of trash and forgotten items left in the stands and on the fields already. This puts us in jeopardy of losing game fields.

-No photographers that havent been approved by WVYFC and Badged are not alowed on the field.

-Respect the boardmembers that are running the fields.

-Fans are held up with the same code of conduct as players and coaches.


Reminders for teams playing in Roseburg:

No parking in the quad, the high school coaching staff are the only allowed vehicles.

No food on the turf, if your team needs a half time snack you’ll have to leave the field to consume it.

No pets are allowed at the stadium. ONLY service animals

Please leave the field immediately after your game so we stay on schedule. Team meeting can take place under/around the score board if you don’t want parents involved or outside the fence. End zones and sidelines are not an option.
