5 2018 SEASON REVIEW FIELD CONDITIONS WERE PERHAPS THE WORST EVER SOME DUE TO LACK OF RAIN MANY DUE TO LACK OF FIELD MAINTENANCE (PAINT, CORNER FLAGS, HOLES, ETC.) THANK YOU FOR INCREASING THE NUMBER OF GAME FEEDBACK REPORTS (~2,100 IN 2017 TO ~2,800 IN 2018) STILL ANALYZING DATA FROM THE SEASON, EXPECT MORE DETAILS AT AGM ANNUAL REFEREE REPORT COACHING/ADULT BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS GAME ANALYSIS MODEL/LEADERSHIP CLUB AWARDS (MUST PAY BILLS NLT OCTOBER 10 TH TO REMAIN ELIGIBLE)

7 OBSERVATIONS FROM 10+ YEARS ON BOARD CLUB LEADERS AND COACHES SET THE TONE FOR ALL ASPECTS OF TEAM PERFORMANCE IF WE KEEP BLAMING THE OFFICIATING FOR PROBLEMS WE LL NEVER GET BETTER REFS TELLING YOUR CLUB COACHES TO LIMIT SCORING MIGHT REDUCE YOUR FINES SINCE OPPONENTS WON'T GET AS UPSET CLUBS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIELD CONDITIONS REGARDLESS OF WHO OWNS OR MAINTAINS THE FIELDS WINNING HAS BECOME TOO IMPORTANT IS SPORTSMANSHIP AN OLD-FASHIONED IDEA?? MOST COACHES AND CLUB OFFICIALS DON T UNDERSTAND PROPER SOCCER OFFICIATING SOCCER OFFICIATING IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER SPORT BECAUSE SOCCER IS UNLIKE OTHER

8 REFEREE/COACH OBSERVATIONS U PREMATCH MEETING, CENTER TELLS ARS WHAT HE WANTS FROM THEM BASED ON: CENTER S DESIRES AR S EXPERIENCE MATCH EXPECTATIONS REFS ARE RESPONSIBLE TO KNOW AND ENFORCE GAME RULES NOT RDYSL LEAGUE ADMINISTRATIVE RULES IF COACHES AND SPECTATORS KEEP DRIVING REFEREES TO QUIT, WE LL NEVER IMPROVE ON THE QUALITY OF REFEREES 3 MAN GAMES IF ONE REF NO SHOWS WE DO NOT USE 2 MAN SYSTEM, THAT IS A NYS HIGH SCHOOL ABERRATION TO SAVE MONEY TOO FEW COACHES ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PLAYERS ON FIELD BEHAVIOR. COACHES EXPECT THE REFEREE TO MAINTAIN MATCH CONTROL WHILE THE COACH SCREAMS AT THE REFEREE TOO OFTEN THE COACHES AGREE ON A SPECIAL SITUATION FOR TONIGHT S MATCH, E.G. PLAYING QUARTERS AND BULLY A YOUNG OR INEXPERIENCED REFEREE TO GO ALONG CONFUSION ON ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY?? SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING/READING BUT OUR COMMENTS TO THE REF WEREN T THAT BAD

9 THINGS TO IMPROVE UPON FOR THE GOOD OF THE GAME COACHES MUST UNDERSTAND THEIR ROLE IN PLAYER SAFETY COACHES NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT IN SOCCER, THEY DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEMAND CONVERSATION WITH REFEREES NOR ASK FOR EXPLANATIONS FOR CALLS COACHES MUST STOP TALKING TO ARS THINKING THEY ARE AN AVENUE TO THE CENTER ZERO TOLERANCE MEANS ZERO COMMENTS. PERIOD.

10 HOW GOOD IS TONIGHT S REFEREE? WRITE DOWN A SCORE (0-100) YOU D BE THRILLED TO SEE YOUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT RECEIVE ON THEIR REPORT CARDS IN A CHALLENGING COURSE (MATH, SCIENCE, ENGLISH, ETC.)

11 HOW GOOD IS TONIGHT S REFEREE? IT IS A STATISTICAL FACT THAT IN AN AVERAGE YOUTH GAME THE CENTER REFEREE MUST MAKE 10 DECISIONS EACH AND EVERY MINUTE REGARDING ON-FIELD PLAY INCLUDES CALLS AND NO CALLS, FOULS, BALL IN BOUNDS/OUT OF BOUNDS, GOAL KICK OR CORNER ADDITIONALLY THEY ARE TRYING TO PICK UP ON INAPPROPRIATE ON FIELD CONDUCT, BEING YELLED AT BY COACHES FOR SUBSTITUTIONS, HAVING FANS OH AND AH THEIR CALLS, LISTEN TO PLAYERS COMPLAIN, WATCH FOR ON FIELD INJURIES, AND MORE THEY ALSO HAVE TO DEAL WITH POOR FIELD CONDITIONS, E.G. NO CORNER FLAGS, POOR LINES, HOLES THEY THEMSELVES OR PLAYERS MAY STEP IN THIS MEANS IN A 90 MINUTE MATCH, THE REFEREE MAKES ABOUT 900 DECISIONS FOR FIELD PLAY AND HAS HUNDREDS OF ADDITIONAL INPUTS

12 HOW GOOD IS TONIGHT S REFEREE? Age Group Match in Minutes Decisions % Right Number of Bad Calls Against Each Team U U U U U U U U U

13 HOW GOOD IS TONIGHT S REFEREE? Age Group Match in Minutes Decisions % Right Number of Bad Calls on Each Team U U U U U U U U

14 WHICH IS/ARE USEFUL? ACTUAL GAME FEEDBACK REPORT COMMENTS INEXPERIENCE, QUESTIONABLE CALLS GU12 D4 INCONSISTENT CALLS GU10 D4 EXCELLENT REF HE WAS FAIR AND ON TOP OF THE GAME!! GU9 D3 THE REFEREE WAS INCONSISTENT BU12 D3 CREW DID A DECENT JOB. CENTER WAS IN GOOD POSITION ALL GAME JUST NEEDS TO BE MORE SURE OF HIMSELF ON FOULS AND ADVANTAGE. GU17 D3 THE REFEREE DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB. HE WAS PROFESSIONAL, IMPARTIAL, AND MAINTAINED EXCELLENT CONTROL OF THE GAME. HE ALLOWED FOR PLAY ON ADVANTAGES WHILE ALSO ENSURING FAIRNESS AND EQUALITY. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM FOR OUR FUTURE GAMES. BU12-1 VERY SLOW ON THE CALLS. ONE AR WAS JUST NOT CAPIBLE. BU14 D1 THE REFEREE WAS INATTENTIVE AND MADE MANY INCORRECT CALLS. GU12 D4 INCONSISTENT CALLS WOULD CALL SOMETHINGS LET OTHERS GO BU13 D3

18 HOW DO WE REDUCE DIRECT PARENT CONTACT WITH RDYSL VOLUNTEERS? RULES/PROCEDURES DISCUSSION WITH PRESIDENTS HOW CAN WE RECRUIT RDYSL BOARD MEMBERS? GREATER UTILIZATION OF LATITUDE TO NOT HAVE 7 TEAMS IN DIVISION 1 (6 FOR U18/19) HOW US SOCCER HANDLES GENDER IDENTIFICATION CONCERNS U % PARTICIPATION RULE REWRITE TO 50% OF GAME OR SEASON? ENFORCEMENT? DIVISION FORMATION -- PLAYING UP IS NOT AUTOMATIC AND SOME TEAMS CLAIMED THEY THOUGHT IT WAS ADD NEW FINE FOR COACHES APPROACHING ARS FOR ANY REASON ADDED DRUGS (NY MARIJUANA LAW) AND E-CIGS/VAPING TO THINGS NOT ALLOWED AT MATCHES
