General tips!

• Err on the side of player safety. If it looks like a foul, call a foul and stop the game.
• Remind parents to keep back from the sidelines to give players a safe space to play.
• Coaches and parents should refrain from running onto the field during play (e.g., tie shoelaces/substitutions) unless summoned the referee (e.g., player injury).

• No parents/coaches/players/spectators are permitted to stand by the goals.
• Try to stay out of the middle of the field as this is typically where most action occurs.
• There should be no more than two coaches on the sidelines with each team –please ask additional spectators to go to the parent side of the field.

• Each team occupies their own space on either side of the half-way line on the same side of the field.

• Blow your whistle loud enough so that the players can hear – use “Freeze” if the players don’t understand the significance of the whistle.

US Youth Soccer Recommendations

• Opposing coaches and players should acknowledge the other team after each game (chear/high-five...).
• Parent, non-playing players and spectators should be there to enjoy and encourage the activity of the youngsters.

• No alcoholic beverages or smoking products are allowed at the playing fields.
