SJSL Small-sided Team Promotion

The South Jersey Soccer League (SJSL) has established a small-sided program that focuses on the core values of player development, an orientation towards team play, and good sportsmanship. According to the SJSL, we are not supposed to publicly record and maintain results of games or standings for all 8v8 teams. The small-games commissioner will maintain a record of each teams' game scores to support the placing of teams in appropriate competitive brackets.

Teams may report game results in local newspapers with the inclusion of player names and that of their opponent. However, there are to be no references to the unofficial standings or game score of that team in the publication, nor should there be any descriptive reference to the score.

Please click here to view the entire SJSL policy.
