Guidelines for Extreme Temperatures
Decisions should be made midday on days when Environment Canada (EC) predictions of high temperatures and humidex values are available. Use estimates of temperature and humidex as predicted by Environment Canada (EC) up to 7 hours before game kick-off times.
The SOSA League mandates water breaks at approximately the quarters of game time (halfway through each half) when the temperature exceeds 28 degrees Celsius or humidex of 30 degrees Celsius.
Breaks will be at approximately the quarters of game time, preferably at natural stoppages in play. The match official will allow unlimited substitutions at that time. Breaks should be a minimum of 2 minutes and a maximum of 3 minutes.
The SOSA League mandates cancelling matches where the temperature at the start of play is predicted to be over 37 degrees Celsius or humidex of 39 degrees Celsius at kick-off time.
When comparing kick-off times to the hourly predictions by Environment Canada, if the exact kick-off time is not stated, then the average of the two closest predictions for that time should be used. For example, for a 6:30 kick-off, take the average of the 6:00 prediction and 7:00 prediction.
Quinte West Soccer Club is pleased to announce that we have been recognized by Canada Soccer as part of the National Youth Club Licensing Program. We have been accredited for meeting standards for Quality Soccer.
Quality Soccer Provider (QSP) is the entry-level category in Canada Soccer’s Club Licensing Program. To attain the designation of a QSP member, organizations must create an environment that is developmentally suitable, safe, enjoyable, easily accessible, inclusive, and inviting for players and families, which sets their programs apart from non-affiliated soccer activities and informal play. Furthermore, QSPs are obligated to maintain good standing with their governing bodies and adhere to the criteria set forth for membership.
