 All Star jerseys will be given out 1/2 hour before each game and is the players to keep. All-Stars should wear black shorts and socks. Regular equipment needs to be worn (shin guards, cleats, etc)

  They will be dressed in bright Orange or Yellow vests to make them easy to find at the end of your games so the home team can turn in the game sheets to them.

AS ALWAYS IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT A BOARD MEMEBER WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE AREA IN QUESTION.

FOR THE GOOD OF THE GAME AND THE KIDS WHO PLAY

DEAN HODGES - SECRETARY

COACHES PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

(DIRECTLY FROM THE US SOCCER FEDERATION TEXTBOOK: ADVICE TO REFEREES AND THE LAWS OF THE GAME.  LAW 4 PLAYERS EQUIPMENT)

SECTION 4.4 GOAL KEEPER UNIFORMS AND EQUIPMENT

UNDER LAW 4, GOAL KEEPERS MUST WEAR A JERSEY COLOR DISTINCT FROM THE PLAYERS OF BOTH TEAMS AND THE REFEREE AND ASSISTANT REFEREES.  IN ADDITION, GOAL KEEPERS TRADITIONALLY WEAR ITEMS OF CLOTHING BESIDES THOSE PRESCRIBED UNDER LAW 4.  THESE ITEMS INCLUDE SOFT HATS OR CAPS, GLOVES, TRAINING SUIT PANTS WITH SPECIAL HIP OR THIGH PADS, JERSEYS WITH PADS ALONG THE ELBOWS AND ARMS, AND SEPARATE PADS FOR KNEES OR ELBOWS.  THERE IS NO PROBLEM AS LONG AS THESE ITEMS OF CLOTHING DO NOT PRESENT A DANGER TO ANY PLAYERS, ARE OF A COLOR DISTINCT FROM THE UNIFORMS OF PLAYERS OF EITHER TEAM AND ARE, IN THE OPINION OF THE REFEREE, CLEARLY RELATED TO THE GOAL KEEPER'S FUNCTION.  THE REFEREE SHOULD PREVENT ANY PLAYER OTHER THAN THE GOAL KEEPER FROM WEARING AN ITEM OF CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT THAT IS PERMITTED TO THE GOAL KEEPER UNDER THESE CRITERIA.

Coaches, you may also review these Laws by going to the following web site - use our links path - www.msysareferee.net  There are tabs to the left side of the page, at this site.  Under OTHER MENU you can find rules of play, advice to referees and a guide to procedures.  I have given out this information at numerous meetings.  I hope this link will perhaps give additional help.

As always if you have any questions please contact a Board Member
