Correct. Communicating to your teammate that he should leave the ball for you by saying "Leave it" is potentially misleading, but if the defender...
I don't quite understand. Are you saying that you think that if players didn't play with shin guards, the game would be cleaner, because players...
Except that the laws of the game now state that players must wear shin guards suitable for the level of competition at which they're playing. The...
We have a U17B team in town that creates a lot of trouble. They're a low level travel team that has had so many cards (red and yellow) that the...
I've definitely seen some situations similar to those mentioned, but I can't say I've ever been in the middle of one. My favorite story is one...
Parents don't realize that they don't pay club fees for their kid to play games; they pay club fees for the training and education the kid...
Two years ago. U14B Semi-Final in our State Cup. It was raining for days, the touchlines were essentially marked by mud, and it was a miserable...
I'll be in Portland, Maine for Region 1 Championships, representing PAWest.
I only watched halfway... It got to halftime, and I looked at my dad and said, "I can't watch the second half. The referee is breaking up the flow...
Thanks all! The field was my fault... I took for granted that all the holes were filled and missed out on one. As mentioned, it was just a...
This weekend was our second round of state cup play. After the craziest weather I've ever seen having rained us out of 3 consecutive weeks and...
I'm sure we all know the two arm swing for "play on," or rather advantage. The one arm swing as well as some of the other motions are things that...
Generally, I'm not too harsh in regards to scrutinizing everything. When reading through the names, I have each player turn around and show me...
Quite possibly the most humorously inspirational referee story I've heard in a long time.
OSI has a lot of copycat companies; companies like Law Five, Final Decision, Score, and Olympus have made uniforms complacent with the USSF for...
To what end? They already have a different badge... I'm sure they don't care what uniform they're wearing, to some extent. Why not keep a certain...
I have several sets of the Write-On cards. I like that they're big and easy to navigate with a Sharpie, however I found them to lose their...
Quote for truth.
I've had plenty of experiences at the 15-16 level with that sort of deal: taking control and not having to worry about who is in charge. On the...
I have a couple questions that are sort of bothering me, and I think are certainly bothering other people. Maybe as a group we can work them all...
Yeah, the green for now is just an alternate. The alternates are never mandated, though it's good to have for all of the higher levels that you'll...
I'm close to Glenn... Yellow in the right front shorts pocket, as well as a spare yellow in the right breast pocket. I've had stuff fall out of...
The headbutt did occur outside of his field of vision, as you mentioned, so that definitely deserves kudos to the ARs. That quick set of three...

Hindsight is always 20-20... It's good that it's being spoken out against.
