Hello All-

We will now be training on Monday and Wednesday's at Discovery Park from 7-830 pm by the 4th light pole! Just look for where my 02gg are. Thursdays we will be at Highland Jr High. This week we will continue to work on defending with three and move to working with the back 4. The girls have responded well after coming back from the california tournament. I hope they continue to work hard to get better every training session!

Captains letters are due on WEDNESDAY this week. I currently only have two letters turned in and I will only consider the girls who turn their letters in for captain. I will pick two and the team will pick the 3rd. The girls can either email me their letter or give it to me in person tonight or wednesday!

Sean Hurd Heightens Profile at 2012 OlympicsU.S. assistant referee and Jacksonville Beach, Fla., resident Sean Hurd was one of five USA officials to make the trek to the 2012 London Olympics. Like any representative making his or her first appearance at an event of this magnitude, especially in a setting with rich soccer history, Hurd soaked in the grandeur and got down to the business at hand. [Read More] Administration Instruction Assessment Assignment Events Laws of the Game EDUCATION RESOURCES Injuries can occur at all levels of the game so it's important for referees to handle injuries in accordance with the Laws of the Game while making player safety a priority. Watch the video, Managing Injuries, to learn more about U.S. Soccer's recommendations on how to effectively deal with minor and serious injuries. [Watch Video] Each year, the Laws of the Game are updated by FIFA and the International Football Association Board (IFAB). These changes officially went into effect on July 1, 2012. Watch the video, 2012-13 Amendments to the Laws of the Game, to learn more about how officials of all levels should interpret and apply these changes. [Watch Video] Advantage is a powerful and flexible tool that referees can use to manage competitive matches and should be applied in relation to the experience, skill level and strategic awareness of the players involved. Watch the video, Advantage Update, to learn more about the expanded interpretation and application of this critical concept from Law 5. [Watch Video] It's important for officials of all levels to know how to effectively deal with coaches and other team officials who behave poorly during a game. Watch the video segment, Ask, Tell, Dismiss, to learn more about U.S. Soccer's recommended approach for taking action towards team officials who fail to conduct themselves in a responsible manner. [Watch Video] In addition, an overview video for each law has been posted in the Laws of the Game section of ussoccer.com. This content is provided courtesy of FIFA and is intended to help viewers develop a better understanding of the interpretation and application of the Laws of the Game. IDENTIFICATION AND TRAINING In its continued effort to improve the level of professional and international officiating in the United States, U.S. Soccer is launching the Platinum Program to train a select number of high-potential male and female officials to become professional officials. The program is designed to provide 12 officials with up to three years of personalized training in preparation for assignments at the professional and international level. For more information on this elite level development program, please read this week's featured Platinum Program Release.  STATE REFEREE ASSOCIATIONS In addition to the work of the U.S. Soccer Referee Department, there are 55 State Referee Associations whose efforts are an important part of the overall success of the U.S. Soccer Referee Program. These associations are responsible for administering the objectives of U.S. Soccer at the local level. Officials, instructors, assignors and assessors should contact the appropriate administrator within their State Referee Association for assistance with questions and issues related to administration, registration and certification. ADMINISTRATION The use of vanishing spray is prohibited by officials unless approval for use during an affiliated competition is given by U.S. Soccer.  Requests should be made by the appropriate affiliated competition authorities and these will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis provided the following minimum requirements are met: The affiliated competition must provide the vanishing spray at no cost to the officials; The affiliated competition must provide the officials with training on how to use the vanishing spray and monitor its use throughout the competition; The affiliated competition (or associated league of Organization Member) must assume all liability associated with the use of the vanishing spray; and When approved, competitions should make best efforts to use the vanishing spray in all competitive matches and officials should make every reasonable effort to ensure the spray is used consistently during their match. This information can be referenced online in the Refereeing section of the Resource Center.
