The new guidelines for the CS League's Under-19 and Under-21 players have been released, which aim to provide more clarity on the appearance requirements for both age groups.
Under-19 players must be between 15 and 18 years old, while Under-21 players must be between 16 and 18 years old. The guidelines state that players should maintain a high level of physical fitness and be well-suited for their position.
Players must also undergo a medical examination before being selected to the squad, and they will be required to wear special clothing such as shin guards and headgear. They may also be required to complete specific training sessions to improve their skills and fitness levels.
In addition to these physical and medical requirements, players must also adhere to certain rules and regulations set by the CS League governing body, the Football Association of Sri Lanka (FASL). These include the use of red cards and other disciplinary measures if necessary.
Overall, the new guidelines aim to ensure that players are fit, healthy, and capable of playing at a high level. By providing clear and concise guidance on appearance requirements, it is hoped that players can make informed decisions about whether or not they want to join the CS League.
However, it is important to note that there is always room for improvement, and players who do not meet the guidelines will need to take additional steps to prepare themselves for the season ahead.
