Covering Player Absences

There are some rules around who can fill in for another player in a team.

If you need to use players from a lower division in the same age group, remember a player can only play up a division in the same age group twice once they fill in 3 times they must stay in the higher division team.

Example: If a U15 Boys Div 2 player plays 3 games filling in for U15 Boys Div 1 then that player is considered an U15 Boys Div 1 player and cannot play in U15 Boys Div 2 anymore.

Also, if a Div 3 player plays 2 fill in games in Div 2 and one in Div 1 then they are considered to have played 3 games in higher divisions and will not be allowed to play in Div 3 anymore.

If you use a player from a lower age group they can fill in as many times as needed.

However if they are already a member of a team in that higher age group they cannot fill in, in the same age-division.

Once a player has filled in for a particular team, they CANNOT fill in for another team in the same age group or division. i.e. an U11 Girl fills in for Falcons White U13 Girls Div 2 then she can only fill in for that team during the season in Div 2.

Players CANNOT fill in for a team in the same age group and division. i.e. A U13 Boys Div 2 player cannot fill in for another U13 Boys Div 2 team.

A player from a higher division CANNOT fill in for a team in a lower division. i.e. A U13 Girls Div 1 player cannot fill in for a U13 Girls Div 2 team.

If you need a fill in player they can come from the following:
