Indiana Youth Soccer Modified League Playing Rules.
Included within the document are the new referee fees in effect
for the Fall 2008 season.
Goal
Safety
It is the beginning of a new Seasonal
Year for soccer in Indiana. One of the most important items of concern
for the safety of our players has to be Goal Safety. Each Club inspects
and certifies that their goals are all secure and safe for play at the
beginning of each season. This certification can only be considered an
initial effort. Because of field realignment or simple field
maintenance, goals are moved from time to time and must be secured again
before play resumes on the field. The only sure way to be sure the goals
are secure on any field is to constantly check them before our teams
take the field for competition or practice.
With that in mind, I'm requesting that prior to allowing our teams to
take the field of play, someone on each team be designated to physically
check the security of all goals. In addition to the team check, the
referee crew has a responsibility to check goal security as well as
other items concerning field safety before play begins for any match.
With this dual check in place, it is important that any goal found
unsecured be reported to the club and league for the competition or
practice. Only if we all do our part can we insure a safe environment
for our players.
Please take a moment and view the attached T.V. spot on goal safety. It
serves as an example of what could happen if we drop our guard.
