Spring and Turkey programs are just around the corner and we will be holding evaluations again this Sunday, November 3rd, at JAMS.

Sign up here

1. Evaluations are held for U10 and U12 only.  The U14 coaches will be conducting their evaluations entirely during Core games.
2. These are evaluations, NOT tryouts.  They are not the only mode of selection for our Spring program, as our coaches evaluate all players in their Core games.  Further, they are NOT mandatory.  They are, however, very helpful for our coaches.  Evaluations give our coaches an additional chance to see your child’s skills, attitude, and commitment.  As such, they are recommended for all players in U10 and U12.  While our smaller numbers last weekend were incredibly helpful for both the coaches, who got to see players in a different way than the usual evaluations, and for the players who got an additional chance to shine, we’d love to see everyone out this weekend.
3. Your child will be evaluated in his or her Core games by our All Star and Spring coaches.  While our coaches will have the names and numbers of ALL players in the division and are welcome to talk to and select any player based on performance in the Core program, you can ensure that coaches pay attention by registering your interest for Spring.

Even if you have attended or plan to attend an evaluation session, click here to register your interest in our tournament program. You can also indicate which program, Spring, Turkey, or Both, your child is interested in.

We will be holding evaluations according to the following schedule this Sunday:

• B10 – 2 PM (check in at 1:30 PM)

• G10 – 3 PM (check in at 2:30 PM)

• B12 and G12 – 4 PM (check in at 3:15 PM)

We will open check ins a bit earlier for B12 and G12 as we expect larger numbers given the dual time slot.  Please ensure your child has water, shin guards, and a ball.

The 2019 Fall season opens on Saturday, September 7th. Registration for Fall 2019 is now open.

Fall dates

Financial assistance is available

Without quality, trained referees, our children cannot play this game they love so much, and what better vantage point to watch a game from than center field! For such a small investment of your time, you can become a great referee, even with no prior soccer knowledge at all! You will be getting great exercise, feel great, and be helping your children and their peers to have a great soccer experience to boot!

First Step: Register as a volunteer with AYSO

If you are interested in volunteering as a referee, you must first be registered as a volunteer with AYSO. To do this you need to go to inLeague and register (or re-register) as a volunteer.  Go to “Player and Volunteer Registration,” and then “User Accounts and Volunteer Registration,” and get your MY2019 up to date! Once this is done a background check will be performed by “Sterling Volunteers.”

Second Step: Sign up for a referee course !!!

“FOR WOMEN ONLY”–We will be having a Regional Referee course for women only (that means YOU, mothers and daughters (12+y/o) of Region 20 !)— taught by the best (female) instructors in Area 1/P!  The class will be held in Beverly Hills, August 18th, from 9:15-4:30 (lunch will be served).   Come out and meet other female referees, share their stories and knowledge, and become certified to referee our kids!   To register and for more information go to www.AYSOU.org

“Regional Referee Course” or “Reg Ref On-Line Companion Course” (the two (2) “basic” referee course options) in Santa Monica are listed at AYSOU;  you can find a  list of local offerings on the “Upcoming Referee Training Schedule”  link.

• “Regional Referee Course”–a full day course(two opportinities so far)
  • Aug 24th, 9am-3pm, at Reed Park Auditorium, Santa Monica (7th and Wilshire). Lunch will be served
  • Aug 31, 9am-3pm, Reed Park Auditorium (just added!)
• “Regional Referee On-Line Companion Course”–A shorter in-class session, but requires mandatory completion of an on-line referee course as a “prerequisite.”
  • September 4th, 6pm-10pm, at Marine Park Auditorium.

To Upgrade: For current referees that want to upgrade to the Intermediate or Advanced certification Area 1/P will be holding classes in Beverly Hills over the weekend of August 24-25.  They are also listed at the above link.

To sign up for either of the classes you will need to go to www.AYSOU.org  In the meantime, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to become a volunteer referee.

This year Region 20 with its partner Coerver Coaching will be hosting several soccer camps throughout the Summer months. The week long summer camps will complete the 3-phase training curriculum for the AYSO calendar year which included Monday Night Open Training (MOT), Spring Skills & Clinics and now our Summer Soccer Camps.

Step 1

• Go to https://inleague.ayso20.org
• Login using your adult login
• Click on “Player and Volunteer Registration”
• Under “User Accounts and Volunteer Registration” you would click “Add New User”
• Add your youth volunteer (needs their own email address and their own password—these will be used when they are trying to self-schedule for referee slots in the Fall)

  • You should click on the name of your child (in blue?) and you’ll be shown a copy of the app to print (and/or save to your desktop)
  • If you are routed away from this page, get back to it and at the bottom see and click the “Completed” button. THIS IS KEY!!!
• Note:  YOU WILL BE BROUGHT TO the eAYSO TITLE PAGE THAT SAYS: “Welcome Jane Doe”

Referees

We need referee volunteers to sign up for games over the next two weekends. The PLAYOFF intensity will be a bit higher than regular season, so we will ask that referees bring their “A-game” to these matches. The Region reserves the right to assign/move referees to/from certain games. We ask that referees sign up for games that they are certified/qualified to officiate (and comfortable with that level of play).

• 10U—CR’s/AR’s must be Regional Referee certified or above
• 12U—CR’s should be Intermediate Referee certified (or Intermediate Candidates) or above; AR’s must be Regional Referee or above
• 14U—CR’s should be Advanced Referee certified (or Advanced Candidates) or above; AR’s should be Intermediate Referee or above (preferably).
• “Pool Play” G14 games may end in a tie.
• “Bracket Play” games must have a winner. If game ends in a tie (draw) go straight to KFTPM; for Championship games there will be Extra Time (see below)
• Championship Games will go to two equal periods of Extra Time (2 x 5′) if regulation play ends in a tie. If the score is still tied at the end of Extra Time, then the match will go to KFTPM.
• For an easy-to-use scorecard for keeping track of your KFTPM, try this helpful tool: http://www.mvsra.org/Kicks%20from%20the%20Penalty%20Mark%20scorecard.pdf

Playoff Rules

Playoff Playing Time and Policies

Regulation Time Playing Policies  (see Extra Time “Overtime” policy below)

U9 & U10: (no change from regular season)

Playing time:  3/4 rule applies to all players on the team (no one plays the entire game unless everyone else has played 3 quarters).  No one shall play goalkeeper for more than half the game. Any player that does play two quarters as goalkeeper must also play the other two quarters on the field.  Adherence to the playing time policy is the responsibility of the Coach, not the Referee nor the Assistant Referee.  Any violation of the playing time policy will result in a (post-game) forfeit against the offending team.  Players arriving after the game has begun shall be played as follows:  A player arriving only prior to the “2nd quarter” must play a minimum of 2 quarters of the game.  A player arriving only prior to the “3rd quarter” must play a minimum of one quarter of the game.  A player arriving only prior to the “4th quarter” is not required to play.  These are MINIMUM playing times.  A coach may choose to play a late arriving player more than the minimum.

U12: (no change from regular season)

Playing time:  3/4 rule applies to all players on the team (no one plays the entire game unless everyone else has played 3 quarters). No player shall play goalkeeper for more than two quarters.  In the event that a team has less than 12 players at a particular game AND a player plays as goalkeeper for two quarters, that player must play the other two quarters on the field.  Adherence to the playing time policy is the responsibility of the Coach, not the Referee nor the Assistant Referee.  Any violation of the playing time policy will result in a (post-game) forfeit against the offending team.  Players arriving after the game has begun shall be played as follows:  A player arriving only prior to the “2nd quarter” must play a minimum of 2 quarters of the game.  A player arriving only prior to the “3rd quarter” must play a minimum of one quarter of the game.  A player arriving only prior to the “4th quarter” is not required to play.  These are MINIMUM playing times.  A coach may choose to play a late arriving player more than the minimum.

U14: (no change from regular season)

Playing time:  3/4 rule applies to all players on the team (no one plays the entire game unless everyone else has played 3 quarters).  Adherence to the playing time policy is the responsibility of the Coach, not the Referee nor the Assistant Referee.  Any violation of the playing time policy will result in a (post-game) forfeit against the offending team.  Players arriving after the game has begun shall be played as follows:  A player arriving only prior to the “2nd quarter” must play a minimum of 2 quarters of the game.  A player arriving only prior to the “3rd quarter” must play a minimum of one quarter of the game.  A player arriving only prior to the “4th quarter” is not required to play.  These are MINIMUM playing times.  A coach may choose to play a late arriving player more than the minimum.  Any player may play as goalkeeper any number of “quarters”.  However, it is highly recommended that if a player plays ¾ of the game as goalkeeper, that player should also play on the field for ¼ of the game.

IF THE GAME IS TIED AFTER REGULATION TIME:

Pool Play (G14’s) games: can end in a tie.

Regular Bracket Play games: if tied at the end of Regulation Time, go straight to KFTPM

For Finals (all Divisions): if tied at the end of Regulation Time, then go to two equal periods (duration of 2 x 5′) of Extra Time.

Extra Time (“Overtime”) Playing Time Requirements:  all players on the team shall play at least 50% of the two periods of Extra Time.  There are NO goalkeeper restrictions in the overtime period.

Kicks From The Penalty Mark (KFTPM):  Any player on the team may take part in the Initial Group of Five Kicks From the Mark (NOT only those players on the field at the end of regulation or overtime).  No player shall be allowed to take a second kick until all players on the team have taken their first kick.

Despite the added pressure of playoffs, please remember to respect the officials, control your sideline and let the players play.  Have fun and good luck to all.

If your team does not advance but has the opportunity to play a consolation game, please participate and let your kids get an extra game in. There is no substitute for game experience.
