Pregame
We have an official pregame experience at Delaware Rising Home games. Please send the lineup (with pronunciations) to delawarerising@gmail.com at least 24 hours before kickoff. This will be used for player announcements as well as for recording statistics.
Just a friendly reminder, you do need to provide your roster to the match day officials. There will be an “official” referee roster checkin 20 minutes before kickoff. This will vary based on the assigned referees.
Please have your starters line up, along with the Delaware Rising starters, between the two benches 10 minutes before kickoff. If a youth team is in attendance, we’ll have those players line up as well. One youth player will be paired with one senior player. The walkout will start when the announcer begins announcing the starters.

Postgame
After the match, please ensure that no equipment or garbage is left behind. We rent these facilities and want to ensure it stays upkept so we can continue to call this our home field. Any serious trash or damage to the facilities will be reported to league officials.
We have 30 minutes after the final whistle to pack up and vacate the stadium. Please ensure your players adhere to this timeframe. If players want to stick around and chat about the game, they may do so in the parking lot.
