ECNL Regional League teams also participate in two to four tournaments each year. Typically, one of the selected events takes place outside of the St. Louis area, while the others are played locally. The high school aged teams participate in college showcases instead of or in addition to tournaments to assist the players who have interest in playing collegiate soccer.

BEHAVIOR
SLSG asks all coaches, players, parents, and spectators to follow the core values of SLSG.
Coaches, parents, and spectators should remember the game is for the player. The game is used as the teacher for the player to continue to grow and to develop. The game environment should not hamper the growth and development of the player. We would ask that the coaches, parents, spectators to be respectful of the environment by not yelling instructions during the games. Cheering and encouragement are welcome as long as it is positive in nature.
The SLSG Management will monitor the games and if there is any behavior out of line, we will address during the game. In addition, we would ask the coaches, parents, and spectators to please be respectful of the referees. Just as it is a developmental environment for the players, it is a developmental environment for the referees. Any abusive language or behavior towards referees will not be tolerated.
Please note that any incidents at Premier League and P6 League Games will be reviewed by the SLSG Management and could result in future suspension or punishment.
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
The safety of the players, coaches, management, and spectators are of primary concern during any weather event that occurs during a league match. These few basic guidelines are designed with players, coaches, referees and spectators in mind. Ultimately, SLSG Management and/or the referees have the final say over delaying or postponing a game due to weather.
Lightning
