Region 345 PARENT/PLAYER HANDBOOK Spring 2011 Soccer Season Okeeheelee Park Region 345 SOCCER: THE GAME Who's who on the soccer field? Soccer is played between two teams of 11 players each. Some younger teams use fewer members. Unlike our American football, soccer has few set plays. Soccer does not have separate defensive and offensive teams. Players keep on playing their position whether their team has control of the ball or not. A coach might line up his players on the field with a 4-3-3 lineup. It is the custom not to list the goalkeeper. 4 defenders 3 midfielders 3 forwards The Players Goalkeeper is the only member of each team who can use his or her hands. Each wears a different colored jersey from all other players. Soccer Words Defenders (also called fullbacks) defend the goal and try to take the ball away from the opposing team. Defenders who play certain positions have special titles: Sweeper “sweeps”, or runs to either side to help out teammates in defending the goal. He or she usually does not guard, or mark, any special opposing player. Stopper guards the middle and marks the opposing strikers. Fullbacks often start the plays from the sides and guard the other team’s wingers. Throw-in: the way the ball is put back into play after it goes over the touchline. When a member of one team kicks it out, a member of the opposing team gets to throw the ball in. Kick-off: a pass used to start Striker plays in the middle and usually finishes the scoring plays. play at the beginning of a game, at halftime or after a goal has been made.

A Letter From The Commissioner Dear Parents and Players: I am the Regional Commissioner of our region and am responsible to AYSO National and, together with our regional board, to you for running our program. As Regional Commissioner, I want to welcome you to AYSO 345 either as a returnee or as a newcomer and hope that you enjoy being a part of the ever growing AYSO family. AYSO Region 345 is a member program of the American Youth Soccer Organization, a nationwide, nonprofit youth soccer organization founded in Torrance, California in 1964. AYSO is a National affiliate member of the United States Soccer Federation. AYSO has a National Support Center in Hawthorne, California, with a full staff to assist our region in maintaining its programs. Our region is located in Area I, in Section 14, and has the benefits of the area staff and the section staff, directed by Wendy Smith. Unlike other sport organizations, AYSO is run completely on Volunteer Power. All members contribute their time without monetary compensation. Because of this regulation, we must limit our team formation and playing opportunities to match the number of volunteers. The American Youth Soccer Organization is based on six principal tenets: Everyone Plays - every child registered is guaranteed to play at least half of every game, provided he/she is not under disciplinary suspension or injured. Balanced Teams - prior to the formation of teams, each child is evaluated. Subsequently, the child is placed on a team which contains a cross-section of talent. Our goal is to see that all teams are created equal. This process is called "Team Balancing". Open Registration - every child in the geographic area covered by the region is entitled to register for the regular league season subject only to field availability, sufficiency of adult volunteer help and other important considerations. We provide extensive training for all who are interested. Positive Coaching - since the focal point of each child's experience with the program is his/her relationship with his/her coach, each coach is trained to communicate and act in accordance with AYSO philosophy. Players learn the game of soccer in a healthy atmosphere that promotes self-confidence and self-esteem. Good Sportsmanship - our regional program is designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO, therefore a positive environment will be created that is based on mutual respect, rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude. Support your child, support your team, support AYSO. Player Development—we believe that all players should be able to develop their soccer skills and knowledge to the best of their abilities, both individually and as members of a team, in order to maximize the enjoyment of the game. 3 02/12/2011 Regional Commissioner 3 Parent’s guide to AYSO EQUIPMENT Each player must be dressed as follows for each game: *A. Jersey tucked into shorts. (Please take care of it by washing it in warm water and drying it in a warm, NOT HOT, dryer. Do not iron it. Do not add or alter it other than sizing). No Names on Jerseys *B. Shorts (Uniforms are to be worn for games, not for practice). C. Shinguards are mandatory (practices and games). D. Soccer shoes (low-sided "football" shoes with rubber or plastic molded cleats) or sneakers. Metal cleats are not permitted. *E. Socks pulled up over shinguards. F.

The referee will check players before each game. BALL: Your child should be encouraged to practice with a ball of the size appropriate to their age. Ages 4 to 7, a size "3". Ages 8 to 11, a size "4". Ages 12 and over, a size "5". COACH You can help your child's coach by making yourself known and thanking them for their interest.

REFEREE The Referee is entitled to the highest respect. His/Her mistakes (and there will be mistakes), shall be accepted WITHOUT COMPLAINT. Many of the referees have no children playing in the league and all of them gladly give their time to help us. Please give them the respect and understanding to which they are entitled.

Go to the games. PARENTAL SUPPORT is crucial. Above all, be tolerant of the children's mistakes and weaknesses. When you are at the game, cheer for the team, not just your own child. If they enjoy it and have fun, they'll want to play it to the best of their ability.

The practice fields should be located throughout the community. Each player must arrange to arrive on time and be picked up on time. SCHEDULE OF GAMES Games are to be played according to the schedule distributed in advance. Game is played regardless of weather, unless notified to the contrary by the Regional Commissioner at least one hour prior to the starting time. Practice sessions may be canceled or rescheduled at the discretion of the coach, Regional Commissioner or Field Administrator. All games will be played on Saturdays. Practices are Monday through Thursday and can begin as early as 5:30 PM, (at the convenience of the Coach). PLAYER TRANSFERS With over 1,200 children playing soccer on over 134 teams, it is virtually impossible for AYSO to be flexible with practice and game conflicts with Non-AYSO activities. This includes requests for friends to be on the same team. Requests for brothers or sisters in the same age group (same gender) to play on the same team will be honored. Player transfers to accommodate schedule conflicts will NOT BE HONORED. Contact your Division Coach Coordinator with questions. REGIONAL PHILOSOPHY The aim of the region and AYSO is to operate a soccer program where young people can learn to develop a positive self-image, self-confidence and other positive character traits through their interest and participation in soccer based on our six philosophies. Everyone engaged in sporting competition should have a desire to win. This desire will not be pursued in this organization to the detriment of sportsmanship, fair play, and participation. AYSO is a parent-based voluntary organization and provides a soccer experience for our own children. Enrollment of your child in our program implies responsibility to the team. EVERYONE PLAYS Your child is guaranteed to play at least 50% of each game, regardless of his/her level of skill or aptitude, however NO CHILD on the team may play the whole game unless every child has played at least three quarters, provided that the child: * attends scheduled practice sessions * arrives at the playing field for scheduled game prepared to play in proper uniform, proper shoes, etc. * is not under disciplinary suspension, * is not physically handicapped due to illness or injury. Soccer is an ideal sport for kids to have fun with. That’s because on the field, the players should be pretty much on their own. There is a difference between soccer and other sports. Coaches are not calling every shot in soccer, like they are in American football, baseball or basketball. Basketball for instance, is a coach's game. Soccer Tacos al Carbon 432-8474 is a player's game. 5 AYSO REGION 345 2011 VOLUNTEER BOARD & STAFF AYSO PHONE NUMBER WEBSITE AYSO National Website AYSO Section 14 Website FIELD LINE (Field conditions) region [email protected] AYSO345.COM AYSO.org AYSOSECTION14.ORG REGIONAL COMMISSIONER Rose Arsenault [email protected] ASST COMMISSIONER Todd Masi [email protected] Nora Huspek [email protected] 795-4346 CHILD & VOLUNTEER PROTECTION ADVOCATE & Caresse Friedman [email protected] 784-8143 SAFETY DIRECTOR James Cummins [email protected] 601-4178 REGIONAL AUDITOR Peter Hodor 267-5799 TREASURER 642-5449 642-2520 712-1696 REFEREE STAFF REFEREE ADMINISTRATOR Doug Rodas 712-1696 [email protected] Cezar Caleap [email protected] YOUTH REFEREE ADMINISTRATOR Melissa Cummins REFEREE SCHEDULER Nora Huspek [email protected] REFEREE INSTRUCTOR (S) Scott Zucker Todd Masi REFEREE ASSESSOR Cezar Caleap Scott Zucker ASST REFEREE ADMINISTRATOR 684-2628 601-4177 712-1696 792-6222 795-4346 684-2628 792-6222 REGISTRATION STAFF REGISTRAR Melissa Hodor 642-8978 [email protected] VIP Staff AYSO LIAISON Rachel Forberger [email protected] PRINTING Michelle Lawlor [email protected] MISCELLANEOUS 252-6036 Great Impressions 433-3498 PICTURES Visual Images 798-2566 TROPHIES & T-SHIRTS MVP Sports 582-0093 6 DATE Feb-12 Feb-19 Feb-26 Mar-5 Mar-12 Mar-19 Mar-26 Apr-2 11:30 1v2 6v8 5v4 3v6 3v8 2v3 4v7 5v6 1:00 3v4 5v7 1v8 7v2 4v6 8v5 6v1 7v8 COACH 2:30 5v6 1v3 2v6 1v5 7v1 4v1 8v2 3v4 COLOR 4:00 7v8 2v4 7v3 8v4 5v2 6v7 3v5 1v2 PHONE Team #1 William Brintnall Fuschia 312-2675 Sponsor Anthony Garcia Agent State Farm Team #2 Mark Gellermann Lavender 596-2266 Team #3 Paul Picard Pink 251-0329 Team #4 Soliman Martinez Team #5 Javier Torres Purple Watermelon 797-3050 719-5238 Team #6 Petros Kapiniaris Kelly 542-3221 Team #7 Jimmy Rigsby Columbia 674-5357 Sponsor Friends of Okeeheelee Nature Center, Inc.

PARENT’S CODE: Your role In AYSO In AYSO, boys and girls learn good sportsmanship and self-discipline. They learn how to work together, to sacrifice for the good of the team, to enjoy winning and deal with defeatall while becoming physically fit and healthy. Best of all, they have fun. As a parent, you have a special role in contributing to the needs and development of these youngsters. Through your encouragement and good example, you can help assure the effectiveness of the AYSO program. Here's how: Support Your Child It's important that you support your child by giving encouragement and showing an interest in his or her team. Help your child work toward skill improvement and good sportsmanship in every game. Teach your child that hard work and an honest effort are often more important than victory. Your child will be a winner, even in defeat. Always Be Positive Parents are not participants on their child's team. However, they do contribute to the success experienced by their child and the team, Parents serve as role models for their children. Become aware of this and work to be positive models. Applaud good plays by your child's team and by members of the opposing team. Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from youth sporting activities. Be Enthusiastic and Supportive Remember that your child is playing soccer. It's important to let children establish their own goals, to play the game for themselves. Be careful not to impose your own standards and goals on your child. Don't put too heavy a burden on your child to win games. Surveys reveal that 72 percent of children would rather play for a losing team than ride the bench for a winner. Children play for the fun of playing. Reinforce Positive Behavior The best way to help a child to achieve goals and reduce the natural fear of failure is through positive reinforcement. No one likes to make a mistake. If your child does make one, remember that he or she is still learning. Encourage your child's efforts and point out the good things your child accomplished. Let Coaches Coach and Referees Ref Coaches and referees are usually parents. They volunteer their time to help make your child's youth soccer experience a positive one. They need your support, too. What coaches and referees don't need is your help in coaching from the sidelines. So please refrain from coaching during games and practices. Referees are not the bad guys. They are volunteers, too, and need your support and encouragement. Treat them and their calls fairly and respectfully.

We wouldn't have a soccer league if it weren't for you! We also have some very special parents who generously donate their time to our league. They deserve recognition. Team managers used to be called team moms, then team parents. But, regardless of what they are called, every team needs someone who organizes the parents on the team and distributes the league information to them. Team managers play an important role in helping the league run smoothly so our children can enjoy playing soccer. They distribute uniforms, and make sure drinks and fruit are provided at each game. They make numerous phone calls to parents - when practices are rained out, when pictures will be taken, to remind them to bring refreshments, and lots more. It is also important for team managers to relay information from the parents and players to the board of directors. We want input from our parents and players to the board of directors. We want input from our parents! The commissioner and staff can't be on every field at every game. So, let your team manager know what is going well and not so well - during the season. He or she will report your comments at the monthly board and staff meeting. Thanks to all the parents who take the time to give to AYSO, YOU MAKE IT WORK!!! Debe Carter TEAM MANAGEMENT ADMINISTRATOR [email protected] 15 CODE OF ETHICS All games and practices shall be governed by AYSO Rules & Regulations. If during game play the conduct of a player goes beyond the limits of good sportsmanship and fair play the referee will caution (yellow card) or eject (red card) the offending person(s). Issuance of a yellow card will require the player to leave the field for a cooling off period. Two yellow cards in the same game equal a red card. Ejection from a game mandates suspension from the next game. The referee will file the necessary reports prior to leaving the field. If spectator or coach conduct goes beyond the limits of good sportsmanship, this may result in the offender being asked to leave the field or if necessary, termination of the game. Please refrain from such conduct and set a good example for the children. Coaches will be responsible for proper behavior of parents and players assigned to their tearn In the event that a child is injured during the course of a game, the referee will stop play. If there is further danger to the injured player, Or at the first available opportunity, a coach will be called onto the field to attend to the child. Parents/spectators are not to enter the field unless called by the referee. The goals, nets and other field equipment have been purchased by Region 345 for use by the players. Goals and nets are not to be used as monkey bars by any child. Parents will be held financially responsible for damage caused by inappropriate behavior of their children. No pets are allowed on the field. Alcoholic beverages are not permitted on the field. Please help us maintain our fields. All fields must be left in clean condition after each game. Parents can help by reminding children not to litter. Coaches will remain ten yards on either side of the halfway line in the coaches box on the side of the field that the team is on. Only 1 coach and 1 assistant coach from each team may be in the box. Parents and spectators must remaiin at least 12 feet behind the sideline. No one is allowed behind the end zones. Negative or inflammattory remarks or actions directed toward coaches, players, referees, AYSO staff and other spectators are absolutely unacceptable and will not be tolerated from anyone. Remember, everyone is a volunteer! The referee during a game makes the final decision in all matters. Individuals wishing to discuss any aspect of the program should do so in a positive manner by first speaking with the coach, then the division director. If your questions cannot be answered or resolved, then call a mernber of the Executive Board. Remember, quality input results in a quality program for everyone involved. 16 AYSO Region 345 Spring 2011 Game Schedule Okeeheelee Park U6 Girls—4 & 5 Year Olds Field 11B DATE 8:30 9:15 10:00 10:45 Feb-12 11 v 12 3v4 5v6 7v8 Feb-19 13 v 12 6 v 15 8v3 10 v 5 Feb-26 7 v 13 8 v 14 4 v 12 11 v 3 Mar-5 7v4 12 v 8 14 v 11 15 v 2 Mar-12 10 v 7 9 v 11 13 v 1 14 v 16 Mar-19 10 v 3 9 v 13 4v1 2v7 Mar-26 15 v 11 7 v 16 4v9 12 v 6 Apr-2 6v7 11 v 1 2 v 14 8v9 DATE Feb-12 Feb-19 Feb-26 Mar-5 Mar-12 Mar-19 Mar-26 Apr-2 11:30 12:15 9 v 10 1v2 11 v 7 9v2 5v2 9 v 16 3 v 13 16 v 5 15 v 4 6v3 6 v 14 15 v 8 8v1 10 v 14 10 v 12 5v4 1:00 13 v 14 1 v 16 15 v 10 6v9 8v5 5 v 11 3v2 15 v 13 1:45 15 v 16 4 v 14 1v6 1 v 10 2 v 12 12 v 16 13 v 5 16 v 3 CCF, Inc. 14843 April Drive Loxahatchee, FL 333-5231 616-5550 29 AYSO Region 345 Spring 2011 Okeeheelee Park U6 Girls—4 & 5 Year Olds Coach & Sponsor Information COACH Team #1 Team #2 Brett Vanalstyne Team #3 COLOR PHONE Fuschia Sponsor Lavender Sponsor Pink Sponsor Quick LawFirm, P.A. 317-0849 Tacos Al Carbon CCF, Inc.

The referee's chief responsibilities are to make the game as fun, fair and safe for the players as possible. The referee enforces the rules which, in soccer, are called "Laws" - by calling offenses and determining if goals have been scored. Referee's Assistants (aka Linespersons) provide vital assistance to the referee by signaling when the ball has gone out of play and which team gets possession. Referee's Assistants also assist with substitutions and the general control of the game. Refereeing is by no means a perfect science, and there is no such thing as a perfect referee. Calling a game requires many judgement calls. It is our responsibility as players and parents to accept those judgements, whether you agree or not, and to keep three very important things in mind regarding these Officials. 1) They are volunteers. 2) They are human beings. 3) They are out there for one reason, and one reason only FOR THE KIDS!! The referee or referee's assistant play a critical part in the game of soccer, and our organization in general. They have a very demanding, and often times, thankless job. All AYSO officials have been trained and certified. We require that they conduct themselves in a professional manner, and that they show respect for the players, coaches and spectators. Likewise, we expect our players, coaches and parents to give officials the respect and credit they deserve. It can be as simple as thanking the referee for calling your game, even if your team did not win. Or telling the referee when they make a good call, even if it was against your team. These simple acts also serve another very important purpose - It will build character in our children and provide them with proper role models. We need to work together as a league and support each other so that we can keep AYSO Soccer the way it was meant to be. Fun For Everyone. If you would like to help us out this season, please give us a call. We are listed on the Volunteer Board & Staff page.

Except as set forth below, disciplines may be issued only by an AYSO Regional Referee or higher. Persons receiving a disciplinary action shall leave the field of play immediately. 2. Referees will note any discipline given on the back of the game card, that is given to the Referee at the beginning of the game by the coaches, which they must sign and return to the AYSO Region 345 Referee Administrator. 3. The AYSO Region 345 Referee Administrator shall inform any person receiving a discipline that the discipline has been issued and direct them to this document to explain the procedures for appeal. 4. Any person receiving a discipline shall have the right to appeal. Such appeal shall be made in writing and delivered to the AYSO Region 345 Referee Administrator within 48 hours of receiving notification that the discipline has been issued. 5. The AYSO Region 345 Referee Administrator shall investigate the incident by speaking to available participants and available third parties. 6. Prior to the next game to be played, the AYSO Region 345 Referee Administrator shall convene am AYSO Region 345 Disciplinary Committee meeting to consider the appeal and present the findings of the investigation. The AYSO Region 345 Disciplinary Committee shall consist of the AYSO Region 345 Referee Administrator, AYSO Region 345 Coach Administrator, AYSO Region 345 Child & Volunteer Protection Advocate, AYSO Region 345 Assistant Regional Commissioner, and AYSO Region 345 Regional Commissioner.

This includes development of youth whether they are soccer players or soccer referees. All the AYSO guidelines and policies on providing a "Safe, Fair and Fun" environment for players also apply to youth referees. Only "Positive, Instructive, and Encouraging" comments are allowed to be directed at youth players or youth referees. The purpose of this policy is to make clear that verbal abuse of youth referees is as unacceptable as verbal abuse of youth players and to adopt basic standard sanctions for improper conduct. This policy is not intended to imply that youth referees are always "right" and the adult spectator or coach is always "wrong". Just as youth players will make mistakes during play, youth referees will make mistakes in officiating, particularly in the younger divisions where they are learning how to referee. In addition, sometimes youth referees are "in over their head" because of a particularly challenging game, an assignment beyond their experience or comfort level, etc. Card quick law firm Card Haile Shaw Policy on Youth Referee Abuse 1. It is never acceptable to abuse youth referees verbally or otherwise, in any situation. AYSO Region 345 will not tolerate any verbal or other abuse or criticism of a youth referee by any coach or spectator. Abuse includes any verbal or other conduct, which is defined or characterized as abusive conduct under the AYSO National Guidelines. 2. Should such abuse occur, the incident will be reported immediately by the AYSO Regional Referee Administrator who will implement the "Region 345 Disciplinary Sanctions for Youth Referee Abuse." 3. Any AYSO Region 345 Board Member or AYSO certified adult referee shall, if necessary, intervene if any coach, spectator, or other adult is abusing a youth referee, verbally or otherwise and may take immediate appropriate action to include directing the offender to leave the site, and/or to suspend or terminate the game. Handling general dissent is part of the referee's job. If the offensive conduct constitutes dissent rather than abuse and the youth referee appears to be managing the dissent appropriately, no intervention is necessary. However, serious, repetitious dissent to provoke an argument shall be regarded as a type of abuse and is deemed unallowable and will be dealt with according to the AYSO Region 345 Disciplinary Sanctions for Youth Referee Abuse. Card painting card Card Anthony Garcia Card winning smile Card heavenly landscape 4. A Coach may only communicate in a positive way with a youth referee.
