•  Team Rosters : League Commissioners will attempt to keep teams the same for the Fall / Spring seasons. However, some roster changes may be necessary at the beginning of the Spring season to ensure that teams are competitively matched with equal numbers of players. Coaches should carry player CSA Registration Forms to all practices and games. These forms contain medical release consents in case a player should require emergency treatment.
