It’s no fun to spend the game on the bench…and that’s no way to learn soccer! Everyone Plays® 1) In our region: No player plays a full game until all players play three-fourths. AYSO Region 1112 - Spring 2017 Coaches Meeting 7 Everyone Plays® • In our region: Play each player at least three quarters of every game, whenever possible. (No player plays 4 quarters if there’s players that didn’t play 3 quarters yet.) Exception: playoffs. • The "Everyone Plays" rule applies to all players, regardless of skill level or age, and regardless of the number of practices they attend. How Coaches Help • Keep track of who’s playing when AND where • Give all players a chance to play all positions at some point during the season – They MAY play the same position throughout the entire game. • The same players should not always sit out the first quarter of each game, so that they do not think of themselves as permanent substitutes. AYSO Region 1112 - Spring 2017 Coaches Meeting 8 Everyone Plays® Substitution • U05-U14: Approximately midway through each half. • At half-time. • For injury. NO substitutions on the fly! Substitution for injury: • If player is injured, the coach may provide a substitute. Injured player may not return until beginning of next “quarter”. Quarter is credited only to injured player. • Coach may choose not to substitute and to “play short” until injured player is ready to return to play the remainder of the “quarter”. (Wait for signal of referee.) AYSO Region 1112 - Spring 2017 Coaches Meeting 9 Balanced Teams Each year we form new teams as evenly as possible – because it is fair and more fun when teams of equal ability play. Balanced Teams AYSO Region 1112 - Spring 2017 Coaches Meeting 10 Open Registration Our program is open to all children between 4 and 19 years of age who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing. Open Registration AYSO Region 1112 - Spring 2017 Coaches Meeting 11 Positive Coaching Encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment by the players and ultimately leads to better-skilled and better- motivated players. Positive Coaching AYSO Region 1112 - Spring 2017 Coaches Meeting 12 Good Sportsmanship We strive to create a safe, fair, fun and positive environment based on mutual respect, rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude, and our program is designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO. Good Sportsmanship AYSO Region 1112 - Spring 2017 Coaches Meeting 13 Good Sportsmanship Positive Coaching & Good Sportsmanship: • No negative commenting on officiating! (No matter whether this is a certified referee or the other coach.) Positive comments are encouraged! • No recruiting players AYSO Region 1112 - Spring 2017 Coaches Meeting 14 Player Development We believe that all players should be able to develop their soccer skills and knowledge to the best of their abilities, both individually and as members of a team, in order to maximize their enjoyment of the game. Player Development AYSO Region 1112 - Spring 2017 Coaches Meeting 15 Player Development How Coaches Help • Attend coaching clinics (mandatory) – A better trained coach contributes to and encourages player development • Sign-up for referee course • Come prepared: make a practice plan for each practice • Recognize, acknowledge and praise Player Development: “Nice pass,” “Great shot,” “Awesome move,” “Good defense,” etc. AYSO Region 1112 - Spring 2017 Coaches Meeting 16 AYSO Region 1112 - Spring 2017 Coaches Meeting 17 WE ARE: AYSO Region 1112 East Central Iowa National Office Local Region www.ayso.org www.ayso-cr.org (319) 804-8384 AYSO Region 1112 - Spring 2017 Coaches Meeting 18 Local AYSO Board Regional Commissioner Henk Rook [email protected] Coach Administrator Mark Lehman [email protected] Asst Coach Administrator Dave Ratzer [email protected] Referee Administrator Gary Cliff [email protected] Child & Volunteer Protection Advocate Beth Tribble [email protected] Treasurer Mary Hagensick [email protected] Safety Director Matthew Wolrab [email protected] Registrar Deb Menken [email protected] Scheduler Henk Rook [email protected] There’s Uniform Coordinator Michele Tiefel [email protected] VIP Administrator Patti [email protected] Room Volunteer Recognition Coordinator Mary Hagensick [email protected] for Playoff Coordinator Patti [email protected] You Webmaster Henk Rook [email protected] Too!

AYSO Region 1112 - Spring 2017 Coaches Meeting 28 Substitution Policy • To ensure that every player gets to play at least 75% of every game AYSO allows a “substitution break” at approximately the mid point of each half. – Every player on the team who did not start the half should be sent in at the break point. – Look for an opportunity when the ball is naturally out of play – a goal; a throw in; a goal kick; … then restart play where things were before the break. • The purpose of this break is to facilitate substitutions. – Coaches should know who is being substituted for who, and be prepared to make the change quickly. – This is not a time for major coaching adjustments, snacks, … NO substitutions during quarters (“on the fly”) AYSO Region 1112 - Spring 2017 Coaches Meeting 29 Heading NO HEADING U12 and below • When players deliberately head the ball, then indirect free kick for opposing team.
