Injuries & Concussions

Weather Guidance

Lightning

Outdoor activity must be suspended when lightning is a maximum of six miles away. This is because lightning can strike up to six miles from the base of thunderstorms.

Follow the 30/30 Rule. Count the “flash-to-bang time.” If lightning is 30 seconds away, it is too close, and do not resume play for 30 minutes from the last seen flash or last heard thunder.

Please see the VSA Coaches Guide linked above for complete details.

Heat & Other Weather

AUSC staff will notify coaches when extreme weather conditions are expected, but please monitor your local conditions and follow VSA and US Soccer guidance on practice times during hot weather. Vermont is Cat 1.

Club Passing Players

The VSA issues physical player passes for rostered players. AUSC coaches are responsible for holding all team passes. Coaches are required to present passes and a copy of the team roster to the referee at the start of  a match.

Teams may ‘Club Pass’ players from other AU teams as follows:

  • U10 and U12 teams may Club Pass up to 3 club players
  • U14 thru U19 teams may Club Pass up to 4 club players
  • Club pass players can play within their age or the age group immediately above

Coaches should not share physical player pass cards with other coaches. Instead, a player’s coach should send a phone picture of the their player’s card to the hosting coach to be shown to the referee before their game.
