What is HSAs position on winning and losing games?
HSA does its best each year to form teams in each division that are as evenly balanced as is possible so that the games are close and exciting. HSA, however, emphasizes fun and learning over winning in the IRL. HSA does not keep or publish league standings in the IRL. HSA does not run a championship tournament or give any trophies or awards for winning games. HSA discourages coaches from keeping score. Although scoreboards are present at all of NC’s indoor fields, HSA instructs the referees not to keep score on the scoreboards. HSA also has a detailed playing time rule. It requires that all players, regardless of their skill level, play at least half the game. It also requires that extra available playing time be distributed fairly among all players.
