Rules and Conduct
To participate in the GCCYS, we expect all parents, players, coaches, and referees to abide by the rules and behave in a manner becoming to our Catholic faith. Please take time to read the Rules document as well as our Sportsmanship document and Ten Things Parents of Athletes Should Know.
Beginning with the 2018-19 school year, a single referee will be assigned to each match for all grade levels. Total payment for this referee is $26 (each coach should pay the referee $13 before the start of the match). In some cases, which will be communicated in advance, a two-referee system will be used for the season-ending tournament ONLY. For the Spring 2019 season, this will occur for the 6th-8th grade highest level only tournaments. In this case, each referee will be paid $26. One coach will pay the umpire/up referee $26 and the other coach will pay the down referee $26.

Ten Things Parents Need to Know
Liability Waivers
In order for your child to participate in the GCCYS, ALL parents/guardians must fill out a Liability Waiver form for each of their children playing in our league once per school year. We try to help out our coordinators by matching up waivers with roster entries so please double check the spelling of your child's last name, verify date of birth, and make sure you choose the correct organization. Parents may begin filling out Liability Waivers for the 2020-21 school year on June 1st.
