11V11 OPEN DIVISION

"The Premier Sunday League Experience in SoCal"

The ASL 11v11 Open Division operates under standard IFAB/FIFA Laws of the Game, with specific modifications designed for a fun, competitive, and safe "Sunday League" environment.

1. THE FOUNDATION & ADMINISTRATION

  • The Weekly Calendar: To accommodate recreational schedules and team logistics, matches are generated weekly. Schedules are sent directly to Team Managers and posted live on the division's specific page at allstarsoccerleague.com.
  • The Park Vibe: This is a community-first division. We encourage the BBQs and camaraderie, but on the pitch, respect for the referees and opponents is strictly enforced. Standard FIFA rules regarding fighting and violent conduct apply.
  • The ASL Dictator Clause (Absolute Discretion): ASL Executive Management reserves the sole, final, and unchallengeable authority to interpret, enforce, modify, or apply these rules. By participating, teams explicitly agree that ASL's rulings on disputes, discipline, match outcomes, and prize distributions are absolute and cannot be appealed in any legal forum.
  • The Independent Contractor Official: All match officials and referees are strictly 1099 Independent Contractors. They are not employees, agents, or representatives of ASL. ASL does not control their real-time officiating decisions, and ASL assumes absolutely zero legal, vicarious, or financial liability for their judgment calls, missed fouls, or match management. You play to their whistle, but you cannot sue ASL for their mistakes.

OFFICIAL PLAYER CODE OF CONDUCT

"Read It. Understand It. We Will Enforce It Without Hesitation."

This Official Player Code of Conduct is a legally binding behavioral contract between the registered participant and All Star Soccer League LLC ("ASL"). By stepping onto an ASL pitch, you agree to this absolute standard of behavior.

PART I: UNIVERSAL MANDATES (All Divisions)

  • 1. Zero Tolerance for Violence (No Fighting): ASL is a competitive soccer league, not a fight club. "He started it" is not a legal defense. There is absolutely no fighting, striking, spitting, or physical retaliation permitted. If you throw a punch (even if you miss), you are permanently banned, your team's Accountability Bond is seized, and ASL will proactively hand over your roster ID and match footage to local law enforcement.
  • 2. Absolute Respect & Good Sportsmanship: You respect the rules, your teammates, your opponents, and the spectators. Reckless tackles meant to injure, starting brawls in front of families, or acting with malicious physical intent goes against everything ASL stands for. Leave the pitch with a handshake.
  • 3. The Sanctity of the Match Official: The referee's word is absolute law. Dissent is part of the game; abuse is not. Getting in a referee's face, crowding, making threats, or following an official off the pitch will result in an immediate Red Card and suspension. If you physically touch a referee, you are banned for life.
  • 4. The Anti-Bigotry Mandate (No Racism): ASL is a diverse Southern California community. Any use of racial slurs, homophobia, discriminatory language, or bigoted abuse toward anyone results in an immediate, unappealable lifetime ban. No warnings.
  • 5. The "No Trash-Talking" Boundary: General banter happens. However, malicious, excessive, and deeply personal verbal abuse designed to degrade another person or escalate match volatility will not be tolerated. Keep it about the game. The referee has explicit authority to issue a Yellow or Red Card to eject the instigator and restore order. Play the game with your feet.
  • 6. The Parking Lot Perimeter Mandate (No Reckless Driving): Your conduct obligations do not end at the touchline; they end when you leave the facility. There is strictly NO reckless driving, speeding, peeling out, burnouts, or disruptive vehicular behavior permitted in the parking lots of our partner high schools or public parks. Endangering pedestrians or disrespecting our venues threatens our permits. Violators will face immediate team fines, Accountability Bond seizures, and permanent bans from ASL.

PART II: FACILITY PROTOCOLS

  • TURF STADIUM FACILITIES (Strict Protocols): When matches are hosted on high school turf facilities, facility rules are strict and your compliance is non-negotiable. There is STRICTLY NO chewing gum, NO seeds of any kind, NO smoking/vaping, and NO alcohol permitted anywhere on the premises. Violations result in immediate $250 team fines and potential match forfeitures.
  • PARK & VETERANS DIVISIONS (Community Parks): Parks in Riverside and Anaheim are community-focused, family-oriented environments. We expect all players to treat the public parks with total respect and abide strictly by all local city ordinances. Pack out your trash, clean up your sideline, and protect the family-friendly vibe. ASL assumes zero liability for any off-pitch, post-match activities.

THE "ABSOLUTE ZERO" LIABILITY WAIVER

"& Assumption of Risk"

WARNING: READ THIS CAREFULLY. THIS IS A BINDING LEGAL DOCUMENT. By signing this, you are surrendering your legal right to sue All Star Soccer League LLC ("ASL").

1. EXPRESS ASSUMPTION OF SEVERE INJURY AND DEATH

  • I completely understand that competitive soccer is a high-speed, physical, and inherently violent contact sport. By choosing to participate, I legally bind myself to the doctrine of Primary Assumption of Risk, acknowledging that injuries are an inherent part of the sport. I explicitly acknowledge exposure to the risk of catastrophic injury including, but not limited to: shattered bones, torn ligaments (ACL/MCL), severe concussions, turf burns, heat stroke, sudden cardiac arrest, permanent paralysis, and death. I voluntarily choose to play with full knowledge of these extreme risks, and I assume 100% of the physical and financial responsibility for my own body.

2. ABSOLUTE RELEASE OF LIABILITY

  • In consideration for being allowed to participate in ASL, I completely, permanently, and forever release, waive, and discharge ASL, its founders, operators, referees, staff, sponsors, and the owners of the facilities we use (including all Partner High School Districts, and the Cities of Anaheim, Jurupa Valley, Riverside, and Artesia) from any and all legal claims, lawsuits, or demands arising from ordinary negligence. If my body breaks while playing, or if I am injured by a bad tackle, a missed referee call, or a hole in the grass, I legally agree that I cannot and will not sue ASL or the facility owners.

3. CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE § 1542 WAIVER

  • I understand that I am releasing claims that I may not know or suspect exist at this time. I expressly waive all rights and benefits under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which states: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party." By signing this, I agree I cannot sue ASL later for an injury or condition I did not know about today.

4. MEDICAL CONSENT & SOLE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

  • I acknowledge that ASL does NOT provide health or medical insurance for its players. If I require an ambulance, emergency surgery, or physical therapy, I am 100% financially responsible for my own medical bills. If I am knocked unconscious or severely injured, I grant ASL staff and referees permission to call 911 on my behalf, at my own expense. ASL assumes absolutely zero financial liability for your medical care and will not provide compensation or reimbursement of any kind.

5. INDEMNIFICATION & FEE-SHIFTING

  • I agree to completely defend and indemnify ASL. If I, my family members, my lawyers, or my sideline guests attempt to sue ASL in violation of this agreement, I am legally required to personally pay for 100% of ASL's attorney fees, court costs, and any resulting judgments. Furthermore, I acknowledge that my invited sideline guests and spectators have not signed this waiver. I assume 100% financial and legal responsibility for my guests. If my spectator attempts to sue ASL for any reason, I agree to personally reimburse ASL for every dollar lost in defending against their lawsuit. Spectators attend entirely at their own physical and legal risk.

6. SEVERABILITY

  • If any California court decides that one specific sentence in this document is invalid, I agree that the rest of the document remains 100% fully active, legally binding, and enforceable.

7. MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION & CLASS ACTION SURRENDER

  • If a dispute of any kind arises out of my participation in ASL, I explicitly agree that I WILL NOT SUE ASL IN CIVIL COURT. I permanently and voluntarily surrender my constitutional right to a trial by a judge or jury. Any and all disputes shall be resolved strictly and exclusively by binding, confidential arbitration administered in Riverside County, California.

    The Class Action Killer: I further completely waive my right to participate in any class-action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against ASL. Any legal claim must be brought solely in my individual capacity.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

  • [ ] By submitting the ASL Player Registration form, I confirm that I am at least 18 years old, I am in adequate physical condition to play competitive soccer, I have read this entire document in plain English, I understand exactly what it means, and I am voluntarily giving up major legal rights without any outside pressure.
