AYSO Area 6D

INTER-REGIONAL PLAY

HANDBOOK

 

Fall 2007

AYSO Area 6-D Inter-Regional Play Rules:

AYSO National and FIFA Rules will be used with the following changes:

1)      U14 games will be 70 minutes (two 35 minute halves).  U19 games will be 80 minutes (two 40 minute halves). 

2)      The Regions recognize that some Regions choose one of two criteria for determining U14 (under 14 or 7th/8th grade) play.  One is to use the birth date as of July 31/August 31/December 31 for the beginning of the Fall season session.  The second is to use grades, and not to use birthdays. The participating Regions acknowledge and agree to these differences

3)      Each Region will field teams that are balanced with the other teams in that Region participating in inter-regional play.

4)      To promote fairness and good sportsmanship, and to ensure that, whenever possible, all players play at least three quarters of each match, each team, except as provided herein (or due to a player's injury or ejection from the match), shall play the match with an equal number of players on the field.  If one or both teams have less than 11 players, each team shall play the match with the appropriate number of players on the field as set forth in the following chart (with the maximum player differential on the field being two, but only as set forth):

5)      To be eligible to play, each player must wear a numbered uniform, shorts and socks in the same color combination of his or her teammates (except the goalkeeper).  The coach must have the player registration/medical release forms for each player.

6)      Substitutions for U14: Approximately mid-way through each half of play, when play has been stopped for a dead ball situation, the referee will stop the match (and clock) briefly to allow for substitutions.  This should take no more than 2 minutes (1 minute if the goalkeeper is not being changed).

7)      In U-16 and U-19 matches free substitution is permitted, provided that:

· Playing time is apportioned so that all players play at least one-half of each match

· Coaches and players abide by the procedures below in order to minimize disruption to the flow of play.

Substitutions will be made in accordance with The Laws of the Game including, specifically, the requirements regarding acknowledgement of the substitution by the referee, that players and substitutes must leave or enter the field at the halfway line and the moment at which substitutes may enter the field.  The exceptions to The Laws of the Game are: 1) a substituted player may re-enter the match and 2) there is no limit to the number of substitutions allowed.

8)      If a player is injured, the coach may (a) play the team short, in which case the injured player may return when ready AND the referee has given approval; or (b) substitute another player for the injured player, in which case the injured player is credited for playing that "quarter" and may not return to the match during that "quarter".  (This is the same as the AYSO National Rule.)

9)      All other aspects of the AYSO "Everyone Plays" rule will apply.

10)  If a match is to be canceled due to weather (including unplayable field conditions), the home team coach is to call the visiting team coach at least two hours before the start of the match with the cancellation notification. It is possible that matches will be canceled at one hosting Region while matches are played at other Regions.

11)  These inter-regional play rules supersede all local Regional rules.

12)  The Referee shall complete a game report for each match.  The preferred game report is the standard USSF game report.  The report shall include all the information on the teams, the match and the players.  The game report will be turned into the Inter-regional Play Coordinator and the local Regional Referee Administrator.

13)  Each team shall provide a roster with player’s names and numbers to the Inter-regional Play Coordinator by the start of the season.  This roster shall be made available to the game referee.  The preferred method is via the standard AYSO line-up card. 

14)  The Referee shall report all misconducts assessed during a match (i.e. yellow/red cards) to the local Regional Referee Administrator (RRA) that day.  The RRA shall advise the Area Director and/or Inter-Regional Play Coordinator of any such misconducts assessed during an Inter-Regional Play match no later than the Monday following such match.  Any player who is sent off (red card) during an Inter-Regional Play match for violent conduct, serious foul play or foul/abusive language shall be immediately suspended for the following match (or longer, as provided below).  Any player who is sent off (red card) during an Inter-Regional Play match due to conduct other than the foregoing (e.g. a second “yellow card") is subject to suspension as provided below.  During the week following such misconduct and prior to the next scheduled match, the AD and IRPC will review the referee report and determine if a hearing is required.

15)  The Referee shall report misbehavior by the coaches during a match (i.e. warnings or being asked to leave the area) to the local Regional Referee Administrator (RRA) that day.  The RRA shall advise the Area Director and/or Inter-Regional Play Coordinator of any such misbehavior during an Inter-Regional Play match no later than the Monday following such match.  Any coach who is asked to leave the area during an Inter-Regional Play match is subject to suspension as provided below.  During the week following such misbehavior and prior to the next scheduled match, the AD and IRPC will review the referee report and determine if a hearing is required

16)  The AD and the IRPC are authorized to investigate any related incidents occurring before, during or after any inter-regional match.  This includes actions on or off the field by players, coaches, parents and spectators.   The AD and IRPC will determine if a hearing board is required to determine if disciplinary actions, up to and including suspensions of any persons, are warranted.  This is independent of any actions taken by the local region.

17)  Hearing Board. If deemed necessary, a hearing board comprised of the Area Director, Inter-Regional Play Coordinator, Area Coach Administrator, Area Referee Administrator and one neutral Regional Commissioner appointed by the Area Director shall review the incident and in the case of a mandatory minimum one match suspension, determine whether to impose a longer suspension period, and in all other cases, determine whether to impose a suspension and if so, for what duration.

18)  Players are not allowed to wear jewelry of any type or construction on the field.  Cloth bracelets and necklaces are jewelry and are not allowed.  Earrings of any type will not be allowed.  There will be no exceptions to this rule.

19)  Headbands are acceptable; however bandanas and “dew” rags are considered ornamental and are not allowed.

20)  The use of tobacco products is not allowed at any AYSO match.  Also, pets (of any species) are not allowed at the fields, so please leave your pets at home or you may be asked to leave the field.

SPORTSMANSHIP:  Let's set a good example.

The purpose of inter-regional play is to provide an opportunity for the children to play soccer in a healthy environment.  It is the responsibility of the coaches to set an example for the players and parents. Sportsmanship is playing by the rules, winning without gloating and losing without complaining.  Let's be good sports!
