Timeline

Preseason (Fall and Spring)

1. Start communicating with town contacts to hold dates for friendlies. New managers looking for contacts should reach out to the age group above them for a place to start or contact the league scheduler for a list of contacts from Central North Central (CNC). Closer to the scheduling meeting coordinate with town contacts on availability for home and away game times. Once CNC has released the league game schedule, begin contacting team managers to coordinate home and away league game times.

2. Attend scheduling meetings:

   1. If the manager is unable to attend a designee can attend

   2. Come prepared with league and friendly HOME game time requests

   3. Please note FSC scheduling occurs after Farmington Recreation and Premier teams have created their schedule. Managers need to be flexible with game times to due to field and referee availability. 

3. After the scheduling meeting review the master schedule sent by league scheduler and follow up if there are any discrepancies.

In Season

1. Each week the league scheduler [email protected] will release the upcoming weekend schedule. It is the responsibility of the manager or designee to review the schedule and confirm with the opponent. Confirmation from the opponent should be received by Wednesday evening, if it is not received contact the league scheduler. 

2. Game changes, cancellations, and requests must be submitted to the league scheduler through the FSC Scheduling Requests Form. Do not submit requests through email, text, etc. 

3. CT Cup Scheduling

   1. Requests for home Cup games must be received by Monday the week of your game by 5 pm.

   2. Home Cup game scheduling window is 10 am to 3pm (Fall), and 10 am to 5 pm (Spring). If your game request is outside of that window you must have confirmation from your opponent before placing the game time request.
