We are grateful to each of the clubs who volunteered to host the water polo tournaments. Each division and host is noted in the attached, along with the schedule for that Division. Please let us know IMMEDIATELY if your team is unable to play.

A few reminders:
FCSL pays for all refs fees - host club is not responsible.

We may not be able to have an FCSL rep at each tournament. If this is the case, each participating team should provide a volunteer for their games to work the table in the event the host club does not have sufficient volunteers for a particular game.

Please remind your team and spectators to abide by the FCSL code of conduct. Parents are prohibited from interfering in the game, which includes shouting directions to players, complaining to the referee, and negative or disrespectful comments. Penalties could include a fan being ejected from the game, and if warranted, could result in a team being disqualified from the tournament.

So if you have a parent or parents who are likely to be rowdy, it is worth checking in with them prior to the games to let them know their behavior can significantly impact the games. Keep it positive, let the players play, and let the coaches coach!

FCSL 2026
This summer we are instituting a few rules to address the issue of forfeits:

1. For WP Div's 2 and 3:- 6 players (5 field, 1 goalie) are the standard number for each game. If both coaches agree to use 7 players, that is OK as well.

For WP Div 1:- 7 players is standard, 6 can be used upon agreement of both clubs.

2. In the final standings which determine moving up or moving down a division, forfeits will be included in the winning percentage.

3. If there is a tie between two teams based on winning percentage which determines advancing or moving down a division, number of forfeits will be considered.
