Generally games are played on fields owned by the City of Plano. Some games may be scheduled in neighboring communities. All the participants -- players, coaches, parents and fans – are to respect the facilities. The participants are to obey the rules and regulations of the facility. In addition,
Plano Youth Soccer's enforcement of its rules is limited to its respective jurisdiction of teams, players, spectators, officials, etc within its program scope and not the general public. However, if a citizen chooses not to comply with a request by PYSA regarding a league regulation, then the citizen may be in violation of City Ordinance 15-3(3) which prohibits the disturbance or interference with a scheduled park activity.
Each sports association approved to utilize the City of Plano's sports fields may adopt and enforce rules for its membership that are more restrictive than Plano's Code of Ordinances, but not less restrictive.
