disciplinary decisions and resolving
fairness issues. Alcoholic beverages

Pets or animals will not be
permitted unless allowed by law and
only then a leash must restrain
them.

Administrator Cards. Non CYSA-S
teams require approval of loan
players. Teams outside of CYSA-S
require approved travel papers.
Teams, players or coaches without
proper credentials cannot
participate.

scores, rules, regulations and
