Guest Playing Policy:
This policy provides the necessary structure for the provision of allowing guest players to play on/with existing SF Elite teams.
General Recitals
SF Elite teams are formed under the concept that there are sufficient players selected to avoid the need to utilize guest players.
SF Elite recognizes that there are circumstances that necessitate the need for a team to use guest players. In these circumstances, the coach will balance making sure primary players get the game time commensurate with their ability, fitness, and commitment; and making sure the guest players can appropriately support the team while also managing development.
SF Elite leadership reserves the right to add guest players when it is deemed necessary.
SF Elite recognizes that an appropriate policy is needed to guide the decision-making process surrounding guest playing decisions.
