The HOME team is required to provide one level-headed adult field marshal for each game. 

The field marshal is vital to the safety and wellbeing of the athletes.   The field marshal’s job is to observe and report activities coherently to either the trainer or the GCL official on duty. 

Do’s

• Assign a field marshal to your game if you are the Home Team. 
• The field marshal will sit or stand by the half line behind the GCL Banner at UTD. If you are playing at Railroad or Chinn you will sit or stand at the half line (there are no banners there).
• If you are at UTD, the instructions to call are on the banner. Here are the venue hotline numbers for each venue.
  • UTD FIELD MARSHAL HOTLINE: 469-458-7008
  • RAILROAD FIELD MARSHAL HOTLINE: 469-828-2478
  • CHINN  FIELD MARSHALL HOTLINE: 469-458-6088
• When you arrive and are the assigned field marshal, please text the hotline number with your field and game time to let us know you are in place.
• Remain calm and unbiased at all times
• When calling for a trainer, give as much information as possible if player needs medical assistance.  Example: “I need a trainer on field 3, #20 in white.  Player is currently on the field.”
• Call the hotline if you need a GCL official for all other issues that need attention, e.g., referee request, coach request, unruly parents, ejections, etc.
• When you call the hotline, be patient as the call connects.
• When your match is over there is nothing more you need to do. We thank you for volunteering!

Don’ts

• Do NOT get involved in disruptive behavior, call the hotline and request a GCL official to come to your field.
