West End House League call up procedure

West End House League - Call Up Procedure

A call up player is a player from a younger division who is asked to play a game in an older division. For example, a team in U08B may not have enough players for an upcoming game and may request a call up from U07B. The need for call ups usually arises in the summer (July, August and early September) when some players are on vacation. The need arises when a team does not expect to have at least the minimum number of players and risks defaulitng a game, or when a team does not expect to have a full field of players, or when a team expects to have a full field of players but would like one or two subs. 

A call over player is a player from the Swansea House League who is asked to play a game in the West End House League. The Swansea House League does not operate in July and August, while the West End House League does. A call over player from Swansea may therefore get to play some extra games over July and August. Call over players play at the same level in both house leagues, i.e. a U12G Swansea player could be called over to a West End U12G team.

Please note:
- Summer call up lists will be available starting the week that includes July 1. 
- Coaches/managers must make their request at least 48 hours prior to the game. 
- Coaches/managers, please use call ups with discretion. The number of call ups is limited. You do not need to fill your roster to play a game. Your regular players usually like the opportunity to play most or all of a game when some players are away. 
- Coaches/managers, please do not invite call up players on your own. The club rotates through the call up list to give everyone a chance to play. If you invite call up players on your own, you may be taking games away from other players or may be taking players away from other teams with a greater need.
- A call up player may participate in the calling team's practice prior to that specific game.
- Requests for multiple game dates and/or multiple players are acceptable, and will be fulfilled where possible.
- Requests for specific players are not permissable.
- For cup games, call ups are allowed but call overs are not. On Finals Day, neither call ups nor call overs are allowed.
