Thanks to our membership for the great response to the fall season. We have 120 teams registered and 22 divisions. We had expected a bit of a drop in registration, instead we have a record 17 coed divisions and our second highest fall registration ever!

A couple of things to consider for the league:

All players are expected to read the Fall indoor information rules found here: https://pit.redzoneleagues.com/menu/fall-indoor-information
Additionally you must adhere to the rules of the facility here: https://pit.redzoneleagues.com/league_file/file_name/1587/WSF%20Indoor%20COVID-19%20Facility%20Policies%20for%20PIT%20Football%20(as%20of%20Oct%2019-20).pdf?1603336443

Remember there are no spectators allowed, except for those who are registered members of the league. If you have two games in a night, and a break between games, you are definitely allowed to spectate, but no one outside the league can come unless they are a parent of someone under the age of 18. With that we limit the spectators to one parent per child.

Masks must be worn when in the facility and that includes while spectating. You may take your masks off once you enter the field of play, you must wear you mask when leaving the field as well. There are also certain exist that teams must adhere to when leaving the fields. That is outlined in the facility rules posted above.

Teams will be provided hand sanitizer prior to their first game. You can pick that up at the facility. We will have someone at the fields with the sanitizer. Teams are expected to bring a spray nozzle from something like a Windex bottle, cleaning bottles, etc. You will probably also need to bring some scissors so that you can cut the nozzle line to size. The nozzles fit the sanitizer bottles we will provide to you. You don't want to try to pour out the sanitizer on people's hands at it has the consistency of water - you will probably waste the whole bottle first game if you try that! Keep in mind teams must sanitize their hands prior to and after each game.

Gloves may be worn, but you must clean your gloves between games. Anyone found not washing their gloves or hand sanitizing will be ejected.

All players must provide a waiver before their first game. We will provide more information on how to submit waivers shortly. Waivers can be found here: https://pit.redzoneleagues.com/league_files

We want to ensure we provide a safe and fun environment for teams to participate. We expect all of our players to follow the rules outlined. In the summer, the rules had a very minor impact on the game and we had a very safe season. Anyone not following the rules is jeopardizing everyone's season and will not be allowed to play.

We expect and appreciate your adherence to these rules. Good luck in your season, it should be a blast!
