PLAYER FILL INS

On occasion a HSNC team may not have sufficient player numbers to field a team of 7 and in that instance the coach may seek a fill in player from a lower grade / age group. It is required that fill in opportunities are rotated among players. Players need to be aware of the number of times they have filled in for other teams, as there is a maximum number of times before you are assigned to a new team.
