IMPORTANT NWBSA REMINDERS:

ALL GOALS MUST BE SECURED.  IF NOT SECURED, TELL THE HOME COACH TO FIX.  IF GOALS ARE NOT SECURED, YOU DO NOT PLAY THE GAME


  • NO NWBSA COACHES PASS = NO GAME PLAY!
        There must be at least one carded coach on the sideline to play the game

  • NO NWBSA PLAYER PASS = NO PLAY!

    the website, please  remember to enter "why" and any "details" in the notes
