Coach Corner
 

 

 

Hello Coaches,

 

This week I would like to touch on the subject of the conduct by our coaches and spectators on the sidelines.  Each week as myself and fellow board members make our way around the various fields we are hearing an alarming amount of yelling from the sidelines and not always in the positive.  Enthusiastic coaches and spectators are great, we don't want that to stop, but the enthusiasm needs to be in the right tone for the game.  I constantly hear coaches and parents yelling out "SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOOOOT!!!" and "PASS, PASS, PAAAAASS!"  This is neither instructive nor helpful to the players on the field.  Trust me they know they need to shoot and pass, and they try, but they can't process the inputs on the field as quickly as we can as adults.  Add in the entire sideline yelling at them to make a pass or take a shot and an already nervous player is bound to fail.  We, as coaches, need to set the example on game day for our spectators.  We train our players during the week, and game day should be for them to play without any additional pressure from the sideline.  Are they going to make mistakes during the match, yes but this is how they learn.   Are they not always going to perform the way you trained them, yes but this is why coaches are there, to make corrections and give them positive instruction during the game.  I know from personnel experience this is hard to do.  I use to be the coach who would pace up and down the sideline telling my players exactly what to do during the game, I was a positive coach, but I was a dictator telling them when to shoot and pass, not letting them be creative and make the mistakes that make them a better player and team.  The past few seasons I've worked very hard to change that approach.  If you watch me with any of my teams this season, you'll see me sitting in my chair at the half line observing the game.  I do still get up out of my chair during the match, but only to make corrections and give instruction to my team:  "Watch #7 she's been cheating up all day", "Drop down into the open space for me", "Nice try on the pass, next time get your head up you had time".  Do we lose games because of mistakes made on the field, yes some times. Do we lose games because of mistakes I make as a coach, yes some times.  Did we learn and become a better team because of these mistakes, yes definitely.

 

What I'm asking of you coaches is you take a few minutes before the game and let your parents and spectators know what you expect from them on the sidelines.  Please inform them that they shouldn't be yelling out instructions to the players.  Remind the parents they need to speak in the past tense:  "Nice shot", "Nice Pass", "Good Hustle", etc.  Also remind your parents that they signed the Kids Zone Parent Pledge at the beginning of the season, and Item #5 specifically states "I will not yell out instructions during the game"

 

All-Stars

Coaches in U10 through U14 please make sure to get your all-star nomination forms turned in by Saturday October 19th (next Saturday).  This is crucial so that I can get the full player nomination list out to all the coaches in the respective divisions before the all-star meetings in early November.  If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me.

 

 

 

   

 

 

U6/U8 Soccer Drill of the Week

 

Circle Keep-Away Passing Game

 Setup

  • With cones, mark off a circle. Have each of the players position themselves just inside the circle, with 2 designated players in the middle holding a yellow penny (alternate colored jersey) in their hands.

 

Instructions   

  • The two players in the middle will act as defenders while the rest of the players around the circle will play keep away from these defenders.
  • Start with the first pass being free, then as the defenders win the ball, they switch places with the player that lost the ball to the defender. In this case, the current defender would just drop their yellow penny and join the attackers. The new defender will grab the yellow penny and hold it in their hand.
  • If the pass goes outside of the circle, the player that made the bad pass, or the player that did not properly trap the ball will take the place of the defender that has been in the middle the longest.
  • If the attacking players are able to put together 10 passes make the defenders do a quick lap around the circle (Lap of shame as we call it) or some other form of quick and fun punishment.
  • The attacking players can move about the circle.

Variations

  

  • Change the size of the circle to fit your players age and skill level. Make the grid smaller to make the game harder for the attackers to keep possession, or make the grid larger to make the game a bit easier for the passers.
  • Make the circle smaller for tighter and quicker passing.
  • Limit the number of touches.
Coaching Points  
  • Clean, crisp passes
  • Good first touch into space or towards the next pass
  • Good communication 
  • Have fun
 

U10/U12 Soccer Drill of the Week

 

Split the Defenders Passing Game

 

Setup 

  • Make a grid approximately 18x18 yards.  Split into three teams of two players per grid.
  • Build multiple grids for the game.

Instructions

 

  • Two teams work together on the outside of the grid while the 2 defenders work on the inside of the grid.  The four players on the outside keep possession and the keep the ball from the defending team in the grid.  The outside team scores a point when the ball is passes between two defenders (SPLIT) and is received by their teammate across the grid. 
  • If a player on the attacking team makes a mistake, he and his partner become the defenders and the team winning the ball comes outside the cones and joins the other attackers. When the defensive team gets split, they have to win the ball 1 extra time. So for example, say the defenders get split 2 times before winning the ball, they must win the ball 3 times before switching with the attackers. 

 

Variations

  • Limit the number of touches per possession
  • Play the same game, but expand the grid 3-5 yards on all sides and have the players play inside the grid instead of outside the grid. 

Coaching Points

  • Make sure the attacking players are moving for their partners and opening up in a space.
  • Make sure balls are passed with good space and on target.
  • Encourage players to communicate verbally and with their body and hands. 

 

    
UKI Coach Training Program
 

Did you know that QH AYSO arranged for a Coach Training Program with UK International Soccer Camps this season?  Do you know what that means for our coaches and our players?

 

This means that we are providing additional training to our coaches so they can better train our players.  It is COACHING TRAINING to help coaches with practice session ideas, answer questions, and provide guidance on the field.  Each training session will be followed up with an email with additional training ideas.   This will be a great experience for both new coaches and the more veteran, experienced coaches, providing both with tools to enhance their practices and game skills/tactics.   

 

Each week the UKI Coach Training has a set schedule with reserved fields for the trainers.  Coaches may sign up to bring their team (or any number of their players) to an age appropriate session and take advantage of this additional resource by visiting our website and clicking on the "Sign Up - UKI Training Request" link.

 

Space is limited to only 2 teams at a time but any coach may come to any session and observe without their team. 


Coaches - don't miss this great opportunity to grow as a coach!

Players - ask your coach when your team will be attending one of the sessions!

 

Crazy Referee
Referee Corner

 

 

GREAT REFEREE COVERAGE CONTINUES!

 

We have reached the halfway point in the season and there are a few teams who have "maxed out" their referee point totals. 
Congratulations to Bio-hazard, Anarchy & Frosty Diamonds, and their referee volunteers for getting there so fast.  In addition, nearly half of our 76 U10-U14 teams(33) have achieved at least 7 referee points; this is the threshold referee point requirement to allow a team to be eligible for post-season play.  I hope that everyone continues to referee at the same pace for the rest of the season.  We have had 96 % of referee and assistant referee slots assigned by Saturday morning; this is the best-sustained referee coverage I have ever seen after five weeks of games! I hope that this trend will continue.  Five years ago, before we had a referee points system, it was rare to ever have three qualified referees on a game, and not totally uncommon to have to postpone a game, because no referee could be found. Fortunately this is no longer the case. For those of you who might be wondering, there are still over 500 referee points out there to be awarded; this is more than enough for every single U10, U12 and U14 team to get 10 referee points.  It will be a shame for any competitive team to miss the playoffs just because they could not get the required 7 referee points.  However, this is the system we must have in order to motivate enough volunteers to make Safe, Fair & Fun soccer possible for over 1800 players in our region.

 

Top Youth U8 Referee Contest

Our U8 Youth Referee contest continues with prizes to be awarded at our annual volunteer appreciation night in December.  Brendan is still in first and we now have 15 youth referees working those games. So far they have taken care of 53 % of the U8 matches.  Please show them respect and treat them well as they are under a lot of pressure, learning to be leaders in front of all those parents.

Test your knowledge of the Laws of the Game - II.

 

Scenario 1) On a very windy afternoon, two U12 Boys teams are playing on Marie Kerr North. As usual, the wind is major factor in the game.The referee has just awarded a goal kick to the blue team.The blue team defender correctly places the ball anywhere in his goal area and kicks it high over everyone's head to a teammate in an off-side position who runs onto the ball and kicks the ball into the red team's goal.What does the referee signal and what is the restart?

 

Scenario 2) It is the second half at the same location and with similar conditions as Scenario 1, except the referee has just awarded a direct free kick to the red team because a blue team player fouled the goalkeeper in the red team goal area. 
A red team defender correctly places the ball anywhere in his goal area and kicks it high over everyone's head to a teammate in an off-side position who runs onto the ball and kicks the ball into the blue team's goal. What does the referee signal and what is the restart?

 

Scenario 3) It is still the second half and it just got windier.The red team goal-keeper has the ball in his hands and attempts to punt it down the field. It goes straight up in the air, never leaves the penalty area, hits the ground and back-spins into his own net.What does the referee signal and what is the restart?

 

Answers to Test your knowledge of the Laws of the Game II.

 

Scenario 1) There are no offside infractions when a player receives the ball directly from a teammate putting the ball into play on a corner kick, a throw-in or a goal kick. Therefore the referee signals a Kick Off for the red team by pointing her outstretched arm(s) to the center circle indicating that the blue team has scored a goal. A brief explanation to the red team coach (who should really take the referee class) may be warranted.

 

Scenario 2) On all free kicks, both direct and indirect, the off-side law is enforced.  In this case, the assistant referee raises his flag when the red team player runs onto the ball and the referee blows her whistle to stop play.  The referee will often run to the spot where the offside infraction took place, point her arm to indicate the direction of the restart and then quickly reposition herself down field for the restart.  Once in position, she raises her hand straight up in the air to indicate the free kick is indirect.  As an aside, right now the red team coach and his sideline are really upset because they just do not understand why the first goal counted for the blue team and this one for the red team didn't.  After all, both restarts looked identical!  Again, an explanation may be warranted, but a recommendation to the red team coach to take the referee class is probably not a very tactful move right now.

 

Scenario 3) The ball is already in play, as play is not stopped when the keeper legally controls the ball with their hands; therefore, there is NO requirement that the ball leave the penalty area before being in play.  The referee signals a Kick Off for the red team by pointing her outstretched arm(s) to the center circle indicating that the blue team has scored a goal.  

 


Region 638 Zero Tolerance Policy

In the past years, Region 638 has witnessed incidents where coaches &/or spectators questioned the calls of referees requiring referees to stop matches to deal with the situation. There have also unfortunately been incidents once a game has ended when coaches &/or spectators confront referees or other volunteers over decisions made during the game. These incidents prompt me to remind everyone that Region 638 has a long standing, zero tolerance policy prohibiting such behavior.

Our zero tolerance policy applies to all Referees and AYSO volunteers and will be enforced as follows:
  1. If a coach or spectator questions the call of a referee, the referee may stop the match, retrieve the game ball, and invite the coach onto the field for a conversation.
  2. During this conversation the coach may be told 3 things:
    • The purpose of the conversation is not to debate a call but to inform the coach that the behavior of the coach/spectator is unacceptable.
    • The coach has 2 choices. He/she can go back to their coaching area and coach per AYSO philosophies or the coach/spectator can leave the playing facility.
    • The coach/spectator will be sent off if the referee has to speak to them again during the match.
  3. If the referee is a youth referee, the youth referee may stop the match, retrieve the game ball, and find a board member to deal with the situation as described above.
  4. Any coach/spectator who is heard verbally abusing a referee will automatically be sent off by the referee (if an adult) or a board member (in the case of a youth referee). Verbal abuse includes foul and abusive language and comments with racial or sexual overtones.
  5. If the unacceptable behavior of the coach/spectator occurs after the game has ended it will still be reported by the referee and will be considered as a send off.
  6. Referees will report any occurrences where a coach/spectator is sent off and there will be an investigation to determine the subsequent penalty. The penalties are at the discretion of the Region and may include suspension from future games.
  7. The Region also reserves the right to investigate instances when abuse of a referee or volunteer is not reported by the referee or volunteer but is subsequently brought to our attention. The penalties are at the discretion of the Region and may include suspension from future games.

U05 Jamboree News

Thank you to all the parents who took the time to help take down the goals, gather equipment and walk it up to the shed for me (the cart was unavailable to me at the time).  I appreciate all your help.  Also, thank you to the parents with the quick reflexes who managed to collect all my papers that went flying everywhere as a result of the wind, I would have never been able to retrieve them all myself!  I am hopeful this next week isn't as crazy as last!

Here are some important reminders for all parents to be aware of:

  • PARENT/PLAYER SIGN IN SHEETS:  It has come to my attention that not all parents have been signing in their child each week they participate because they don't feel like it really matters or needs to be done.  This is NOT the case.  I have always stressed the point for all parents to sign in their child each week so that I can keep track of who is participating on a weekly basis and who will be eligible to become a certified U06 coach for next year.  Another reason for signing in your child is to help catch any incorrect information I might have for you or your child and to inform you of any new information or to answer any questions you might have.So please make sure to sign your child in sometime during each session.
  • PLAYER PICTURES:  All player pictures have arrived and are available to pick up at the sign in desk.  Please make sure to pick up your players pictures and when you do, to put an check mark next to your players name so that I can keep track of who has received them and who still needs to be contacted to do so.  Please be aware that the pictures are in no type of order, just separated by boys and girls.  I apologize for the lack of organization however, without any names listed it is hard for me to hand them out otherwise.  Please be patient while sorting through.
  • SESSION CHANGES:  I am still getting a lot of questions asking why we changed the way we hold our sessions.  The reason for the change is to better utilize field space and to try to prevent any overcrowding due to how many players we have participating in each session.  That is the reason for the split in last names for both the boys and girls.  I hope this clears up any confusion one might have.
Should anyone have any questions or concerns, please contact me via email, shutterfly, or by phone.

 

Sincerely,

Julie Woods

Each week as the games come to an end, our fields and the surrounding areas are littered with TRASH!  We need to show respect for ourselves and our community and not leave our trash behind!   Before you leave to go home and enjoy the rest of your weekend, please make sure that our fields, the parking lot, and the roads where we park are clean!  If you are the last game of the day please make sure to pick up any trash still remaining and also return any AYSO trash cans to the snack bar area or pick up location for your field.

And, PLEASE take large items, such as broken chairs, home with you!!!  


Together we can keep our fields and our community clean!
 
 

No Cleats

 
NO CLEATS
on the
JOE WALKER  OR
 GREGG ANDERSON TRACKS!!!

To all Parents, Coaches, and Players:

Please do not run on these tracks while wearing cleats!  This can cause severe and costly damage to the track which QH AYSO will be responsible for repairing.

 

Thanks for your cooperation!
NO PETS ALLOWED!!! 

No Pets

  

As in previous years, Quartz Hill AYSO will continue this season to observe the No Pets Allowed policy.  Pets are not allowed at any practices or games at any field anytime, with the exception of service animals.  This rule is for the safety of our children, families, and pets.  Please make sure to let anyone know who is coming to support your player of our policy.  Anyone with a pet will be asked to leave the field and the game will be stopped until they have complied. 

 

 

If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact our Safety Director, Josh Duncan at 661-436-0180.

 
Thank you for your cooperation.

 

Lost and Found
Looking for a lost ball, gym bag, or even a set of keys?  Come by the Snack Bar at JW/LP and take a peek at our Lost and Found - your lost item might just be in there!  Any unclaimed items will be donated to a worthy charity at the end of the season!


  Sponsors

Quartz Hill AYSO would like to thank our Sponsors for the 2013 Season!   The donations from our sponsors allow Quartz Hill AYSO to provide soccer scholarships and help to keep our registration fees affordable so that everyone can play. It is clear that without the generous support of businesses and individuals, Quartz Hill AYSO Region 638 could not continue to offer our children such a well-rounded soccer program at such an affordable price.  We thank our wonderful sponsors for their support and ask our players and their families to support these sponsors whenever possible in return!
