Champions for Charity
As leaders in sport and tournament management we are consistently looking at ways to innovate, improve, and create more meaningful/purposeful experiences.
During the pandemic we had a chance to review our events and look at areas where we could connect soccer and competition with a more sustainable and charitable approach. One of the areas that we focussed on was medals that 1st/2nd place teams receive.
While we know that players love to receive a medal for their accomplishments, we feel that this joy is quite short lived for photos and then that item ends up in a drawer or landfill.
So we decided to re-imagine our award system with the following objectives:
- Continue to recognize our teams who finish in the top 2 spots
- Reduce waste and items going into the landfill
- Donate to charitable and worthy causes
- Align winning mentality with the spirit of giving back to others
So for 2023 we will be donating $100 per team on behalf of all of our U14-U18 teams who finish 1st or 2nd in their division of the tournament.
Each Champion & Finalist team will also receive a Premier Cup
We have identified three (3) organizations to direct donations towards. It was important to recognize causes that had a connection to one or more of the following:
Sport | Children | The communities that we operate in
We hope that all of our teams will support this change and will use this as an opportunity to educate your players and build more awareness around charitable impact and the role we all can play.
Please take the time to review our selected charities and to understand what they are working towards.
JUMPSTART | KIDSPORT | BC CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
Important Information
Please keep in mind that the spirit of this event, for all levels, is to have fun and compete against other teams of similar ability. We understand that everyone likes to win; however, in the process, we expect that all teams respect their opponents and the match officials.
CONDUCT
The Premier Spring Cup has a zero-tolerance policy for verbal and/or physical abuse of any referee by players, team officials, parents or spectators and will take any infraction seriously (potential suspension for entire event or team expulsion from the tournament)
Players, coaches, and spectators are expected to conduct themselves within the Laws of the Game and generally accepted good sportsmanship. Displays of temper or dissent are cause for ejection from the game and surrounding field area. Repeated violations may result in the suspension/expulsion of the team in question.
It is the responsibility of the Club/Team staff to control the conduct of its parents and other spectators. Failure to do so may result in a warning to the coach or person acting on the coach’s behalf.
If unacceptable behaviour persists, the referee may terminate the match.
All participants should be aware that Field Marshals have the authority and right to remove any unruly or uncivil spectators from the game field perimeter and/or the field complex area.
Absolutely no alcoholic beverages are permitted in the park.
DISCIPLINE
Any player receiving a red card in a match is subject to discipline as follows:
- An automatic suspension of his/her next game
- Potential further review/suspension by the discipline committee
The referee’s decision in matters concerning the Laws of the Game is considered final. The Tournament Officials will not overrule a referee's decision.
PROTESTS
Only protests regarding non-referee decisions will be permitted.
All protests will only be entertained if received, in writing, within one hour after the completion of the game in question. A $250.00 fee, payable in cash, must accompany all protests. Protests and fees can be delivered to the tournament headquarters. The protest fee will be fully refunded if the protest in question is deemed valid.
GRIEVENCES
The following process has been implemented to address any complaints or issues that arise throughout the event.
- Grievances must only be reported by Team Managers by email to the Tournament Officials sxcup@e11evenmanagement.com
- Any reports from anyone other than a team official will be deleted upon receipt.
- Provide a clear written account of the incident including – game number, time & location - name/names of persons involved
A Tournament Official will respond to the grievance -
- All reports will be addressed in order of severity.
