SHIN GUARDS are required by all players. Please confirm with team captains prior to the start of the match that their players are all properly equipped. If you notice during the match someone without shin guards please have them leave the field and get equipped before they return.

5 GUYS / 5 GALS - Coed teams cannot have more than 5/5 ratio on the field. Keeper does not count and can be either guy/gal. Teams must have 7 players to start.

NO SLIDE TACKLES - there are no slide tackles allowed in RATS. However, playing on the ground or sliding in general is ok if not dangerous play or judged by the referee as a slide tackle. If there are opposing players close then perhaps you have a slide tackle. The lower the skill sets the less we want players on the ground attempting to make plays.

Field Issues - if there are issues at the field (double booked, lights, etc ...) follow this procedure:

1- If one or both teams do not show at the field contact RATS Administrators (Romes/L...
