With just two weeks left in our spring season it is time to rally your player especially for the under 8's and above as the small sided soccer tournament starts this weekend. (Tournament is only for Under 8 and above)

Finally please keep in mind the spring soccer tournament is about player development, sportsmanship and having fun. We only have a spring tournament to encourage participation through the end of the spring season. Coaches, I have received a number of comments about very high scoring games, inappropriate sportsmanship, disrespect for the referee and questionable sideline behaviour. Please remind and encourage your players and parents on your team and remember we are all Fullerton Rangers so demoralizing the other team serves no purpose whatsoever. Schedules for the tournament have been updated and are posted on the website under schedule d. www.frysc.org.

Tournament Rules

Rules for games in spring tournament are the same as those for the regular season. Please report your scores by team number to the Field Marshall for your location at the end of the day:

Byerum: Andreas Saucedo: asaucedo@frysc.org
Ford Park: Raymundo Valdez: rvaldez@frysc.org

Tiebreakers

Games ending in a tie will go directly to PK's. Coaches please keep a copy of rules with you because if in doubt of rules referee's may use their discretion (FIFA Rule)

• We will flip a coin to decide order. Home team will call the flip and winner decides if they want to go first or 2nd.
• Each Player on the field will take a PK including the goalkeeper (only those on the field at the end will be involved with PK's).
• If tied after round of five - then we go one round at a time until a winner is decided.
• PK spot will be 10 yards from the end line in the center of the goal.
• Goalkeeper can be changed at anytime as long as the player was onthe field at the end of the game.
• All other FIFA Laws of the Game apply for Penalty Kicks and Procedures to Determine the Winner of the Match.

Thanks again everyone. I will be sending out requests shortly for those interested in coaching again in Fall 2010. Plenty of volunteer positions also exist for anyone wishing to become more involved in our club. If you are interested in being a division commissioner or would like more information on what it entails please let me know.
