Blue Ridge Classic League “Friendly” Policy

This policy was voted on and approved by BRCL’s Board of Directors at the September 7, 2004 meeting. This policy will be updated as needed to comply with insurance coverage.

Policy:

Once the final season schedule is posted, teams can fill vacant game dates with “friendlies.” Teams are to contact the opposing team directly to schedule a friendly.

BRCL requires the following for “friendlies”:

1. You may play friendlies against teams registered with the VYSA or their respective state association as these teams will have insurance. Teams registered with their state association will have player passes.
2. You will schedule referees for your friendly by contacting your assignor
3. BRCL league games take precedence over friendlies. BRCL reserves the right to cancel a friendly in order to reschedule a BRCL regular season match, be it field availability or team availability.
4. Section 13 of the BRCL Rules and Procedures, BRCL Standards of Conduct, applies to all Participants (Coaches, Team Officials, Players, and Parents) of BRCL Teams participating in self-scheduled friendlies, just as they would in a League Scheduled game.
