What do I need on game day?

The home coach needs to contact the opposing coach by the Tuesday evening, before your home game, each week. 
 
Below is a list of documents which you will need to have at each game, per the 2013-2014 PA West rules book:

Coaches/Managers will provide the following items to the referee:

1. Original validated roster.
2. Player passes for all players who are present and for up to three (3) coaches/managers.  Players/coaches arriving late must give their passes to the referee/assistant referee before they can enter the game/technical area. *
3. Two (2) properly completed game day rosters.  How do I print the game day roster?
4. No official league game shall be played without presentation of the above items.
5. If you're the home coach, you need payment for the referees.

*Player passes must be printed on official PA West card-stock.
