IMPORTANT NOTES FOR TEAM MANAGERS

All team managers and players should carefully study the official WFS rules and regulations before taking part. Team managers will be issued with a full, updated copy before the start of each season.
The main rules can be summarised very briefly as follows: No slide tackling, No shoulder or rough play, No offside and rolling subs,
Over recent years, some Leagues were badly affected by teams conceding walkovers and/or dropping out, so we have amended our rules to better protect everyone. Team managers should therefore consider the commitment required as players will be missing regularly due to work and family responsibilities. Other factors that will affect squad availability include, injuries, holidays, other clubs and sports, matches on TV.
Some players will be deterred by bad weather, bad results and bad decisions so keep all that in mind when assembling your squad. Please ensure your team has a large enough squad to cover missing players to avoid fines and other sanctions.
Individuals and small groups can join together to form their own team.
Junior League Premier players and League of Ireland players are excluded from most leagues to maintain a fair standard for the majority of participants.
Main seasons run for approximately 16 weeks.
