Referees We have a tremendous shortage of referees Michigan has the referees we had before COVID The number one reason for referee retirement, especially among younger referees is coach/parent abuse. Treat Referees with respect Referees are as young as 13 and are learning their role as well Referees have been coached to issue yellow/red cards as needed Without an assistant who has passed all certifications, a red card for a coach effectively ends the game with a forfeit. Please don t get one Fundamentally, we need referees for a game and cannot play without them Consider signing up to become a referee Youth 13+ are also eligible
Rescheduling Rescheduling procedure (based on numerous factors, this will be very hard to accomplish this Spring for the refereed age groups) Rescheduling is not an easy process. Please DO NOT reschedule if you are missing a player(s) but have enough to play the game. We have a shortage of referees. If your age group does not need a referee, rescheduling is much easier Reschedule Link: http://www.midlandsoccerclub.com/_files/headquarters/coaching- information/recreation- 1/Procedures%20for%20Rescheduling%20Games.pdf
Rules Changes (none new this season) Coaches need to remain near the bench/center of the field Parents should sit on the same side as their team, but give room and space to the player bench Coin toss - winning team now chooses either: Kickoff Choose which goal to attack Substitutions - players are to leave at the closest touchline / goal line Drop Ball - now uncontested - for one player only, all others 5 yards away. Wall - if defending team has 3 or more in the wall, attacking team needs to be 1 yard away PK - GK now has to have at least one foot on line when ball is touched (was 2) Goal Kick, does not have to leave Penalty Area (PA) to be played. Opponents remain outside PA until ball is in play (U10 is still Build out Line) What are the regular rules? http://www.midlandsoccerclub.com/_files/programs/recreational- soccer/General%20MSC%20Recreational%20Playing%20Rules.pdf Age specific rules are also available on recreation website

FAQ What color jersey? Home = White Away = Green Can I swap a player or draft from another team if the player also desires it? NO any issues or concerns with player assignments need to be modified through the Rec Director. In ages where score is kept, playing with an ineligible player is an immediate forfeit. Can we do high fives and/or team tunnels after the game? Please engage as you are comfortable. Covid still exists but there are no mandated restrictions due to COVID on physical contact When Can I start Practice? Practices can start Monday! Fields are closed for the Mother s Day tournament Thursday-Sunday You are welcome to practice outside the MSC complex as soon as you have your roster
FAQ (cotd) Timeouts? There are NO timeouts in outdoor soccer Timeous are used in futsal at one per half Pictures!

With weekday games and reschedules there WILL be times that a game is scheduled over your practice field.
