Rules  LEAGUE POLICY ON GOAL DIFFERENTIALS CPYSL at their June 2018 Board Meeting introduced a policy of teams removing a player when the goal differential exceeds five (5) goals effective for the Fall ’18 season and beyond. This policy is in effect for all teams in U12 and younger age groups in divisions 2 & below. Coaches are to remove a player at the scoring of the next goal. If the goal differential yields back to five (5) or less goals the player can be added until such time the differential returns.
