Your Obligation as a Sub
We expect you to honor your League commitment. Exceptions can be made for unforeseen circumstances, such as injury or personal emergencies. Failure to honor your commitment places an additional burden on the League leaders and jeopardizes the success of your fellow League players. Subs must remain neutral and play for the first Captain who contacts them, without showing preference towards any specific Captain or team.
Providing Your Availability
When you agree to Sub, you will be contacted by Betty Sullentrup, the League Commissioner, to provide your play availability. If your availability changes throughout the session, you must update your status. Subs, click here to learn how to update your availability. Failure to keep your availability updated could result in your not being able to continue as a Sub.
What to Do When You Agree to Sub
On your date to sub, arrive at the play location by 9:30 am to give your Captain peace of mind that you are indeed coming. It also ensures time for adequate warm-up. At the time you agree to Sub, note the following:
- Name of the Player you will sub for
- Name of the Team that you will support as a Sub
- Name of the Team's Captain
- Location of where you will sub
What to do If you CAN'T Sub Once You've Committed to a Date
If you cannot fulfill your sub commitment, you are responsible for ensuring a Sub is able to take your place. Follow these steps to help secure your replacement:
- Contact the Team's Captain, informing her that you can no longer sub. If you have difficulty reaching the Team's Captain in a reasonable period, email or call the League Commissioner: Judy Frates, 757-289-5827.
- When reaching out to the Team Captain, follow her instructions on securing a replacement player for yourself. You may be asked to contact potential substitutes from a list of names provided by the Captain, or the Captain may take it upon herself to find a suitable replacement.
- If you were asked to find the Sub, inform the Team Captain once one has been secured. The Captain will complete and submit the Sub Request Form so that the Master Sub Availability List can be updated.
