𝗦𝗥𝗦𝗔 𝗦𝗢𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗥 𝟭𝟬𝟭: 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗡-𝗨𝗣𝗦 - 𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝟭𝟬𝟭

We taught the soccer rules this week.

Now we have one last Soccer 101 lesson…

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝘀.

Our kids are learning.

Our coaches are volunteering.

Our referees are learning and improving too. Many of them are college players.

And all three deserve a sideline that makes youth soccer a positive place to be.

• Cheer for your player.

• Cheer for their teammates.

• Heck, applaud a great play by the other team!

• Let coaches coach.

• Let players play.

• And let referees referee.

Under SRSA rules, 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹. If you have a concern, please bring it to the
SRSA board 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 rather than confronting a referee during play.

Spectators should stay at least 3 feet back from the field, remain on the opposite side from the player benches, and should not run alongside the field or yell over coaches.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿:

The kid who missed the goal knows they missed it.

The goalie who let one through knows it went through.

The referee who misses a call is human.

The coach giving up their evening and Saturday morning is a volunteer.

At the end of the game, these are still 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲.

Cheer loudly. Be positive. Model good sportsmanship.

And help us make SRSA the kind of place where kids 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸.

SRSA NEEDS A FAVOR!

We’ve acquired two full-size soccer goals for our fields! Now we just need a little help getting them there.

The goals are standard full-size — approximately 24 ft wide × 8 ft tall — so we’re looking for someone with a large truck and trailer who would be willing to help us transport them.

The good news: they only need to travel about 15 miles!

If you have the equipment and would be willing to help us out, please message our page for pickup details.

We’d be incredibly grateful for the help! Thank you for continuing to help us make our fields better for our players. ⚽️🖤

𝗦𝗥𝗦𝗔 𝗦𝗢𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗥 𝟭𝟬𝟭: 𝗗𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗥𝗨𝗟𝗘𝗦

One reason youth soccer can get confusing?

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲!

Here’s your SRSA cheat sheet:

𝟯-𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥-𝗢𝗟𝗗𝗦
• 5 players
• No goalkeeper
• Size 3 ball
• 10-minute halves
• No scorekeeping

𝗨𝟲
• 5 players
• No goalkeeper
• Size 3 ball
• 20-minute halves
• No scorekeeping

𝗨𝟴
• 5 players, including goalkeeper
• Size 3 ball
• 25-minute halves
• No offside
• No penalty kicks
• No scorekeeping

𝟭𝟬𝗨
• 7 players, including goalkeeper
• Size 4 ball
• 35-minute halves
• No heading
• No slide tackling

𝗠𝗜𝗗𝗗𝗟𝗘 𝗦𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗟
• 11 players, including goalkeeper
• Size 5 ball
• 40-minute halves
• No slide tackling
• Heading allowed, with SRSA’s weekly limit

𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛 𝗦𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗟
• 7 players, including goalkeeper
• Size 5 ball
• 40-minute halves
• No slide tackling
• Heading allowed

As players get older, the game gradually starts looking more like traditional soccer. If you're wondering about the no slide tackling rule, it's a safety thing. Unfortunately, our fields still have quite a few rocks and until we can do some resurfacing one day (fingers crossed), slide tackling will be quite painful.
