A couple items received from the state. Look them over ..... Issue 1 – Free Kicks Coaches comments: “I was at a game in xxxxx last weekend and the center ref called a direct kick for the opposing team at the top of our 18 and the girl taking the kick, kicked it to a teammate, the ball bounced off of her to one of our team members and we were about to clear when the ref whistled the ball dead for a re-kick. I had no clue what the call was so I asked for clarification after the game and he said it was a direct kick so I said, "and... so why did you call it back to a re-kick". He said again that it was a direct kick, that the ball had to go over the heads of the girls in the wall. “ Issue 2 – 2 Man System 2 Man system should not be used under any circumstances. If one of the crew fails to show up for whatever reason, referees must NOT use the 2 man system and request the assistance of a parent, who will only call ball in and out of bounds. Issue 3 – Referees demanding extra money before they can start the game This is unacceptable. The referee assignor assigned three referees for the game; however, one of the ARs had car trouble and did not show up. Before the referee starts the game, he demanded the AR’s pay since he was going to do both jobs. The team manager did not at first agree, but did not want to “argue” with the referee, so he paid the referee. The leagues will advise the coaches and clubs of the 2 man system issue and not pay the referees any extra because one of the crew members did not show. If any of you have questions regarding the above, please e-mail me at dhcupp@sportslogistics.net or call me at 765-430-5534 cell. Doug Cupp

Received this e-mail about ISL games. We don't have that many around here, but if you ref one you will know the expectations. Per ISL requirements, every center referee is to file an online report for every ISL match. Games with Red cards or ejections issued must be reported within 24 hours. In order for the league to properly manage the games and improve the environment, we must have these reports. Currently, ISL has received a report for approximately 80% of the games. At each ISL game, both teams are to present game cards (rosters). These rosters contain all the information necessary for the referee to properly report the game. Reports are filed on-line at www.indianasoccerleague.org at the REF GAME REPORT link. League and game number required (i.e. ISL240) No password is required. Should any of the referees have a question, they can contact me, Angel Hall or Steve Brink. We would be happy to help you.

If the referee determines the uniforms are too similar and may cause confusion, the offending team must change their jersey to comply with the color requirements. Rule 5 – The Referee All referees participating in Indiana Youth Soccer league games must adhere to and accountable to the united State Soccer Federation Code of Ethics described below: CODE OF ETHICS FOR REFEREES 1. I shall always maintain the utmost respect for the game of soccer. 2. I will conduct myself honorably at all times and maintain the dignity of my position. 3. I shall always honor an assignment I accepted as an important obligation. 4. I will endeavor to attend local meetings and clinics so as best to know the Laws of the Game (league rules) and their proper interpretation. 5. I will always strive to achieve maximum team work with my fellow referees and Assistant Referees. 6. I shall be loyal to my fellow referees and Assistant Referees, and never knowingly promote criticism of them. 7. I shall be in good physical condition so as to be in the right place at the right time. 8. I will manage the players effectively by being courteous and considerate without sacrificing firmness. 9. I shall do my utmost to assist my fellow officials to better themselves and their work. 10. I shall not make statements about any game except to clarify an interpretation of the Laws of the Game (League Rules). 11. I consider it a privilege to be a part of the United States Soccer Federation and I will strive to make my actions reflect credit upon that organization and its affiliates. The “Ethics Check” Questions 1. Is it legal? Will I be violating civil law, league policy or Indiana Youth Soccer policy? 2. Is it balanced? Is it fair to all concerned in the short term as well as in the long term? Does it promote win-win relationships? 3. How will it make me feel about myself? Will it make me proud? Would I feel good if my decision was published in the newspaper? Would I feel good if my family knew about it? 4. Will it be contributing to a better environment? It is recommended that three (3) referees officiate the game. One official must be the center referee and the other two are Assistant Referees. Referees acting on behalf of the league MUST be USSF Certified. If three (3) referees are not available, a USSF Certified referee MUST be in the center. The USSF certified referee MUST use Club Linespersons. No game shall be played without a USSF certified center referee. At no time will a “two man system” (two referees only) be permitted to referee a game. EXCEPTION – U9 and U10 games may be officiated with only one USSF certified referee. Assistant Referees or Club Linesmen are not required. A. There may be up to three (3) IYS carded adults (Coaches, managers, trainers, etc.) on the bench. All adults MUST present their IYS card to the referee prior to the game. No adults; carded or not, will be permitted on the players’ side if there are already three (3) IYS carded adults. If the game starts with only two (2) IYS carded adults on the players’ side and a third IYS carded adult arrives later, the late arrival adult must show their IYS card to the Assistant Referee at the next stoppage. B. If there are no IYS carded adults at the players’ side, the game will not start. The referee must allow for 15 minute delay before abandoning the game. If no IYS carded adults at the players’ side due to a sent-off, the referee must terminate the game immediately. C. A roster must be provided to the referee 15 minutes prior to the start of the match. In addition to the normal information on the roster, the roster must include the players’ full names; players’ pass number and their jersey numbers. D. If the referee observed lightning during the game, the game must be suspended until the danger has passed. The referee must wait for 30 minutes after lightning was last observed prior to recommencing with the game. E. Coaches must remain in their technical area. If a technical area is not lined, the coaches must stay two (2) yards away from the touch line, and one (1) yard extended at each side of the seating area. If there are no designated seating areas, the coaches must have the players’ equipments, chairs, medical supplies, tent, etc., at lease two (2) yards away from the touch line, and ten (10) yards from the half way line.

I know this is a stretch for most people, but read all of this and think about it. A Women's Soccer Club team at a western Illinois university, (a little over 4 hours from Lafayette), is in need of three qualified referees to work games THIS SATURDAY and SUNDAY (9/29 & 9/30). I must verify this before anyone should accept, but I am told they will pay for the following. Gas money to cover some of the trip cost. ($100?) Room and board for Saturday and Sunday. I don't know what this includes. Games fees of about $70 per person per game. Three games Saturday and three Sunday, all back to back. This is a good deal for anyone. But a very long weekend. I will need to verify the facts. No college license is required. I must have three refs to go or we can't make the deal. Give me a call with any questions.

Please update your league rules to reflect the following revision: · Punting and/or Drop Kicks are allowed, however the ball may not land past midfield without touching the ground or another player first. · Throwing, Rolling, and/or putting the ball down on the ground and kicking it beyond midfield line in air is allowed. · In the case of an infraction, an indirect free kick will be awarded. The indirect free kick will be placed at the midfield line at the point of the infraction.

Refs: Tom Bacher and Tony Vega had the winning T-shirt designs. There has been a delay in order to reduce the file sizes, for ease of display. These will be on the web site by Friday.

If you missed the initial announcement, Sports Logistics is doing a t-shirt design contest. Stop eating banana chips, sipping pink lemonade and watching Dr. Phil reruns (idling away your summer) and put your brain to work. You supply the good idea, we do the work. We pay the t-shirt guy, the web site guy, the postman, and all the back office worker "bees". You rake in your reward - $2 per t-shirt. We'll give you a production t-shirt with your design for your appropriate public "modeling". Who? Refs t-shirt design for Refs to wear. What? A t-shirt of any color, color graphic and color text on the front and back. When? Entries are being accepted through 5 PM, Monday, August 1, 2005. Where? Send your design to Doug at d.cupp@insightbb.com or Don at dvmorrison@att.net The winning designs (title, picture and attributes to the designer) will go on sale on the www.sportslogistics.net web site on Monday, August 8, 2005. Orders received by 5 PM, Thursday, August 11 will be delivered via US PS Priority Mail by Tuesday, August 16, 2005. Every week thereafter the orders received by 5 PM Thursday will be mailed for delivery by the next Tuesday.

If you haven't already, put in your availability for fall High School games. I have already started to assign games and positions and I want to include everyone. I can get you games! If you don't have your High School license, DO NOT DELAY in contacting the IHSAA. If you would like assistance, call me at 765-430-5534 (you may have to leave a message) and I will help you. I would like to have all assignments done by the end of this month. Call me if I can help, Doug Cupp 765-430-5534

As you know, we’ve had a good season under challenging and changing circumstances. On some dates there were games uncovered, therefore rescheduled and re-assigned. The IHSAA high school schedule included new schools. The USSF competitive youth included significantly fewer games. Everyone should become certified as soccer referees by both USSF and (if you’re old enough -18 and out of HS) IHSAA. BE SURE TO ATTEND A USSF RE-CERTIFICATION CLINIC. There is no equivalent IHSAA soccer referee re-certification clinic. The only LOCAL re-certification clinic will start at 1:00 PM, Sunday, November 14, 2004 in the LGI Room (front entrance) at Jefferson High School on 1801 South 18th Street in Lafayette. Please attend this clinic even if you are not yet USSF licensed. Should you chose, the local USSF licensing clinic is February 11, 12 & 13, 2005 and this re-certification clinic will help prepare you for the February training. The training presented in the USSF re-certification clinic will be particularly useful for the coming season, which includes high school aged players, and also the next fall IHSAA high school soccer season. For a list of USSF re-certification clinics and USSF grade 8 certification clinics see the web site indianasrc.org. As a USSF Referee, for the USSF re-certification clinic you’ll need a: • $30 check to ISRC; • Count of the games completed; • Black ball point pen and hard writing surface; and • Registration form. (Soccer referees certified only by IHSAA should just attend, listen and learn.) The registration form may be provided: • If you go to your local re-certification clinic –it will be supplied as a partially pre-printed form; • Through the mail for some – again perhaps as a partially pre-printed form; and • If you want to complete the registration form ahead of the re-certification clinic, from the web site http://www.ussoccer.com/referees/content.sps?iType=4169&icustompageid=6693 Get your game count from sportslogistics.net. If you need directions to Jeff HS call Doug Cupp at 430-5534. If you have questions or problems call Jack Foos at 765.362.3083. If you have Halloween candy to share page Don Morrison at 423.8992. Thank you.

Dear AD: Attached is your Soccer Referees as scheduled to date. We are still working to fill the unassigned officiating slots. As you know time is short and we will be in communication with you as frequently as daily until the assignments are complete. As of today, the August 2004 IHSAA soccer referee tests are not graded and therefore the most recent referees are still not available. We expect the shortage of referees to continue. We are in correspondence with four referees, who for various unusual reasons are just now submitting their availability. We need to start the assigning soccer referees for your Fall 2005 season and, if you have it your schedule for 2006. On the other side we have started accepting the referees’ availability for 2005 and will soon be doing so for 2006. Some IHSAA Soccer games have been assigned for 2005 and a few for 2006. Please let us have your schedule of games as currently arranged for both 2005 and 2006. Thank you for your patience and the opportunity to serve your assigning needs. We also offer announcers and concessionaires. Please contact with your additional requirements. Donald V.
