Schedule Request Information

GLASA has grown so much over the years making it impossible to accommodate non-soccer related schedule conflicts.

GLASA will continue to work with those coaches who are the HEAD coach only for multiple teams.  The HEAD coach must fill out a coach conflict form which is located here on our website. Please email the completed form to all of the age group commissioners in which your teams play (email addresses are located on this website).

Once the schedulers have started the scheduling process you will no longer be able to submit the form.

GLASA Head Coach Conflict Form

Game Re-Schedule Request Information

GLASA will allow teams to make a re-scheduling request for games that conflict with a school or church function only AND when a team cannot be fielded.  The request must be submitted in writing via email to both your appropriate age group commissioner and the Boys or Girls league commissioner within two (2) full weeks prior to the game date.  If the request is made less than two full weeks from the game date the game will not be rescheduled.

The absence of the HEAD coach is NOT a valid re-schedule request and will not be honored.  For this reason, HEAD coaches are highly encouraged to have an assistant coach or manager on the team roster to avoid game forfeits.  For emergency coverage of coaching duties, you may request another registered GLASA coach or manager or GLASA board member to act on your behalf.

It is the coach’s or the manager’s responsibility to ask their schools for a calendar or check your schools website for upcoming events (ex. open house, PTA meetings, programs, sporting events etc.).

Coaches Cards

Effective March 3, 2007

All coaches, assistant coaches and team managers must have their coaches card visible to be on the sidelines.   We ask that you sign the back and laminate this card and display this card around your neck at every game.   You will be asked for your card if our referees can not see them.   It is the policy of North Texas State Soccer and their affiliates that only people with these valid North Texas ID Cards be allowed on the sidelines during games and practices.

We suggest that should you be the only coach listed on the roster that you designate another parent as assistant or team manger and have them fill out the background paperwork as we realize there will times that you may not be able to be at all games.

We thank each of you for your continued dedication and commitment to your players and this association.

If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely;
GLASA Executive Board
