Inclement Weather and Field Closures

Last modified: April 8, 2013

In case of inclement weather, the best source of information is our Email Alert system. When we close fields, we send an Email Alert and post the announcement on our home page.

To subscribe to the Email Alert system, click on the link in the upper right of our home page.

We post decisions about field closures as early as possible, and we certainly try to have decisions on practice nights by 4:00pm and on game days by 7:30am. Sometimes the announcement may come later, especially on game days.

In the event that a cancellation has not been announced, you can assume the field is open. Nevertheless, a coach’s primary concern is the safety of his players, and another important concern is preserving the field, so, a coach should cancel practice if conditions are detrimental to the players or the field. Referees are responsible for this decision at games.

Please do not contact board members or coaches to find out if practices or games are cancelled. If you are subscribed to Email Alerts, Facebook and Twitter, you will be the first to know.

Concussions – Region 13 Adopts AYSO National Policy

Last modified: April 8, 2013

The AYSO Safe Haven and Safety Director programs have been promoting since 2009 the recommendations provided by the U.S. Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) Heads Up program for concussion awareness and safety. Since then, 35 states plus the District of Columbia have passed concussion legislation, most of which came onto the books within the last year. Other states have similar laws pending.

In response to increasing concerns about the potential risks associated with concussions and to these new state laws, the AYSO National Board of Directors launched a Concussion Task Force to develop recommendations for AYSO Regions and families. The NBOD has approved its recommendations:

  • Use of the AYSO/CDC Concussion Information Sheet to inform all parents and players about the signs and symptoms of concussion and the associated risks. Find the Information Sheet at: http://www.ayso.org/resources/safety.aspx
  • ALL coaches, referees, and Section, Area and Region Board Members are to take the free online Concussion Awareness Training.

  • Go to http://www.aysotraining.org/

    1. Enter your AYSO ID and last name.
    2. Under the “AYSO’S SAFE HAVEN”, Click on “START NOW”
    3. Under “Safe Haven”, click on “CDC Concussion Awareness Training”

     After you complete the course, double check that the certification is reflected on your eAYSO record. To do so, log in to your account at www.eayso.org and click on “View certification.

  • Any player suspected by the coach, referee or parent to have a concussion must be removed from further participation for at least the remainder of the day, and
  • Parents should be encouraged to seek professional medical treatment at the time of injury and secure medical clearance before being allowed to return to play. In all cases, AYSO will require the parent to sign a new Participation Release Form which includes a concussion waiver confirming that the player has been given the appropriate clearance to return to play.

Here are a few of the helpful Steps/Measures to remember relating to concussion awareness and safety issues:

  • Coaches are required to complete an AYSO Incident Report whenever a concussion has been suspected and turn it into the Safety Director.
  • The Safety Director must forward a copy of the AYSO Incident Report to insurance@ayso.org and make sure the injured player’s parents are informed about AYSO’s Soccer Accident Insurance.
  • Coaches must require a signed Participation Release Form from the parent/guardian before a player having a concussion or suspected of having a concussion is allowed to return to play. Parents should always be encouraged to seek appropriate medical care and medical clearance. The signed Medical Release is also mandatory before return to play.
  • The signed Participation Release and any Medical Release must be given to the Safety Director and forwarded to insurance@ayso.org.

Please direct any questions to Region 13 Safety Director Dan Jeffries at dan.jeffries@ymail.com  or Regional Commissioner Steve Bickel at rc@ayso13.org.

Regards,

Steve Bickel
Regional Commissioner

Sideline Etiquette

Last modified: April 8, 2013

AYSO strives to create a healthy environment for our children and our community. One of the ways we do this is by maintaining a high standard of conduct at our games:

  • Negative comments and complaints about officiating are prohibited.
  • In Region 13, the home team always occupies the north or west sideline. This rule applies regardless of sun, shade or other conditions.
    • Spectators must sit on their team's sideline.
    • No spectators are allowed behind the goal line.
  • Coaches must remain in "the technical area" (on the sideline, within 10 yards of the halfway line). Since the technical area is not painted on Region 13 fields, coaches must go no further from the halfway line than the edge of the center circle.
    • Exceptions: U6, U7, and U8 coaches are allowed along the entire sideline.
  • Only coaches may “coach” (i.e., instruct and direct the players). Others on the sideline should cheer and encourage, but should never coach.
  • Coach participation in matches is limited to comments that are positive, instructional, or encouraging.
  • A coach should never speak to opposing players except to compliment them on their play.
  • Coaches are not entitled to question the referee's calls or ask for explanations during a match.
  • Coaches are not permitted on the field unless specifically invited by the referee (e.g., even if there is an injury, the coach must be invited by the referee before entering the field).
    • Exceptions:
      • U7 Coaches are permitted on the field for September games.
      • U6 Coaches are permitted on the field throughout the season.
  • Alcohol and tobacco products are prohibited at AYSO games and practices, and in the immediate vicinity of AYSO fields.
  • AYSO games (and practices) require a certified, currently registered AYSO coach.
  • AYSO scheduled games require a certified, currently registered AYSO referee. If there is no referee, there can be no game, but the teams may still scrimmage.
