No Referee for your game?

SYSA and the Seattle Soccer Referees Association work together to ensure a referee is assigned to each game. Occasionally, a game may go unassigned, or a referee may not make it to the game. In this situation, there are rules for your league (whether SYSA Recreational games, District 1 games, Washington State Premier Leagues games, or PDL games) on how to proceed if a referee does not appear. You should know the rules in advance for your league, and how to handle the situation if it happens.

Seattle Youth Soccer Association has rules for its recreational leagues. Rule 5.2 states that "The failure of an assigned referee to appear shall not be the cause for canceling the match. Upon agreement of both coaches, a substitute official may be chosen whose decisions shall be final."

Sample Practice plans

Here you will find 10 weeks’ worth of pre planned training sessions for age groups U6 - U12+.  Each week includes four different activities and is specifically designed to provide training based on the needs of that age-group.  Print your practice plan out from here and bring to the field. If the players find it challenging go back an age group or push them if you think they’re ready for it by moving up an age group.
