AISD MIDDLE SCHOOL RULES

The following information is from the AISD Middle School handbook about Middle School Soccer which is approved by the District Executive Committee's Athletic Director and representative. Please ask your officials to be lenient with regards to the facilities. Safety, of course, will not be compromised.

Fields and goals that the Middle Schools play on are all we have. We do our best to make the fields playable, but they will not be in the same condition as our Central Facilities. Please make adjustments to any inadequate requirements so our Middle schools can play the game.

Coaches should have the fields marked with lines but we have allowed cones for boundary markers since sometimes community players use the fields, without permission, after they are marked. Obstacles should have been removed and holes should have been filled. The size of the fields vary due to the area the Middle Schools have to work with.
