THANK YOU FOR COACHING AND MAKING TCYSA POSSIBLE FOR THE KIDS!
President Remarks
I have stepped in as president of TCYSA once again, as our former President resigned and no one else would do it! I always enjoy it, but we need new folks willing to work with TCYSA to provide a great program. If you would like to help guide and support TCYSA by attending board meetings, please speak to your player agent. We have fun at board meetings! They are not deadly boring and we try to be efficient with the agenda.
We need help at the league/board level and each town could use more volunteers at their fields or with administration. Please look for helping parents who may be willing to give some extra time for their kids, to make TCYSA happen.
Coaching is the fun part, I know, but is still a huge time commitment. Find a team manager to help you with administrative details, so you can focus on coaching. A good assistant also makes a big difference. Many people will help if you set up the activity, demonstrate how it works, and ask them to run it with one group, while you work with the other group.
Thanks for all you do!Sally Marx, Interim President of TCYSA
2TCYSA 2019
Welcome to another fall TCYSA soccer season!Here are a few rule reminders.
Concussions:Any player at any time who sustains a head injury must leave the practice field or game. If there are any signs of concussion, they may not re-enter play or practice. The child must be seen by a doctor and may not return to practice or games without a doctor’s note clearing him or her to play. This is national policy now, not just TCYSA.General:1. TCYSA plays quarters: U8-10 minutes; U10-12 minutes; U12–15 minutes; both teams may sub in players on any stoppage.2. Mercy Rule – if one team gets up by 4 goals, the other team shall add another field player. To maximize playing time for as many TCYSA players as possible, if the team that is down has no players to add, the opposing team may give them a player. This is a Rec league and adding is preferred to removing a player from the team that is up. The change in field player numbers continues until there is only a one-goal deficit.3. U10 – Only and Newish Rules, brought about by concussion policy. We will provide a hand-out of TCYSA-specific rules to give to your game referee before each game.
a. No heading - this is a national USSF standard now.b. Goalkeeper distribution: GK may NOT punt or drop kick, Only a roll or throw from hand is OK. Per FIFA rules, the ball is always in play as soon as it 100% clears the penalty box line. The other team may challenge the ball as soon as it is in play (usually seconds after it leaves GK hands.)c. Defenders MUST retreat to halfway line for a goal kick or GK distribution, with this exception: at goal keeper’s discretion, s/he may choose to make a quick release or kick, without waiting for the other team to assemble at the halfway line.d. The other team may attack the ball (come off the halfway line, if they got that far, or turn and pressure from wherever they are) as soon as the ball is in play. Teach your kids to back-peddle (run backwards, looking at the ball, or keep looking over their shoulder if they turn their backs to the GK.)
4. # of players on field – U8 – 4 vs 4(Candor, NV, SVE, Tioga/Nichols) U8 - 5 vs 5 (Apalachin, Owego), U10 – 7 vs 7, U12 – 9 vs 9.

Attention!Important Items to Remember!
Give equal playing time to all players, regardless of skill or practice attendance. Promote good sportsmanship. Keep a positive attitude, positive tone of voice, and use encouraging words.
Respect the referee’s decisions without comment - and have players and parents do so as well.
Come and play with however many players you have. It is a commitment and responsibility to show up! If one team is short players, the other team must “play down,” or loan players to the short-handed team to even the numbers.
If a game must be rescheduled due to weather, flooding, etc., contact your area Player Agent ASAP. The referee needs to be contacted, too, through the Player Agent.
Contact the opposing team’s coach EARLY IN THE WEEK to confirm game time, location, shirt colors. If the opposing team’s color is similar to yours, have one-team wear pinnies (bring them along just in case!) Be sure you have a shirt or pinney color for your goalkeeper that is DIFFERENT from the colors of either team.
NO JEWELRY! Players cannot wear earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc. SHIN GUARDS are to be worn at all times and covered by socks.
SUBSTITUTIONS: on any stoppage with the permission of the referee.
If thunder is heard or lightning seen, immediately stop practice or the game and seek safe shelter in vehicles until the danger is well past.
TCYSA IS NON-COMPETITIVE! No scores or standings are kept. Keep it FUN, POSITIVE, and EQUAL for all! We discourage trophies, too, since this is a non- competitive league.

Game Day Tips for Coaches1. ALWAYS confirm time, location and shirt color (for adequate contrast) with opposite coach.
This will maximize the chances the other team will arrive in the right spot at the right time so you can play. For out of town coaches, start trying to call on Monday.If you are traveling out of town, YOU contact the other coach to make sure you agree on what field, time, and how to get to that field. We’ve had 6/7 teams travel 35 minutes only to find the other team disbanded, because our coach didn’t bother to call. Don’t do that to your players and families. If you can’t contact the coach by Wednesday, call your player agent. They can get a message through.
2. Home games:- arrive at field at least 20 minutes early- welcome visiting coach and introduce yourself- point out the bathroom or port-a-john- bring only 3 balls, no personal balls - they only get lost; assign a parent to collect and guard balls during game
3. Away games:- it’s good to go as a caravan; confirm who will meet and where- if someone is going to the game but not in the caravan, have them tell you so you don’t wait endlessly for them- know who to expect at the meeting place. There are almost always enough drivers- xerox maps for all drivers who don’t have GPS- plan to leave early if unfamiliar with the area you are driving to. - if you’re not sure where you’re going, ask your Player Agent.
4. Getting focused on game day- warm ups, stretching BEFORE hard kicks- do a kick and run drill in the last 1-2 minutes- run, pass and shoot is a good warm-up
5. Plan in advance who is playing which quarters. Write each kids’ name on a small slip of paper and pick who is going to be OUT each quarter, then arrange the others - start with a strong defense, put your best players back, your good runners (or weakest) in the middle, strong scorers up front. You can always rearrange them, but you know who is in/out that quarter.
6. Organize: Pick 2-3 captains for each game. Record this on your paper saying who plays which quarters. Rotate every kid into the captain spot over the season. Keep your record because they will forget and insist they have never been captain.
7. Record: After the game, record how many quarters each kid played. They all get roughly equal playing time over the course of the season. You need to do this to keep yourself honest. This is rec league and we play them equally, even if it means we lose.
8. Improve: During the game you will see what they need to work on. Use those notes to yourself to plan your practices.
14TCYSA 2019
General Team Management Tips Emphasize the positive. Comment on everything they do right. Try to structure
practice drills and games so they are win/win. Divide into two very even groups or match evenly in pairs by ability. Try to end your exercise on a tie. Young kids trying real hard are not good losers. Manipulate the time limit so their practice drill/games come out as a tie, at least some of the time.
Don’t get too competitive within your team or you will have fights and tears. Especially at the younger age groups.
Participation is the goal, getting every kid involved, no waiting in long lines. Try to structure everything so all kids are immediately involved. The first 10-15 minutes should be “fun games” that late kids can easily join in, that also work as warm-ups.
Use your helping parents. Get an exercise going, then send half your players with an assistant to do the same thing at a distance. OR have 2 or 3 stations with different activities at each. Kids rotate and adults stay put.
If you want them to listen, run them hard for 10 minutes. Take a brief water break or catch your breath break. Talk then. They only listen for 1-3 minutes. Their ball needs to be still while you are talking.
If you see something they need to learn but don’t know how teach it, call your Player Agent. We can help.
Insist that they show respect at all times. That means they do not talk while you are talking. I pretty much discipline only for lapses of respect - to me or a team mate. Use time out if you have to.
We have game hand-outs, booklets and web sites we can share. Please ask for help if you need some advice on how to handle a situation or teach a skill. – TCYSA board.
15TCYSA 2019
Sample Team Rules
1. On time for practice, both players and coaches.
2. On time for a game: this means 15 minutes early to warm up and get focused.
3. NO put-downs of teammates!! Say only encouraging words like, “Good try” or “You’ll get it next time.”
4. Show respect for yourself, coach, teammates, and officials.
5. If you can’t make a practice, please call/text coach to get the announcements.
6. If you can’t make a game or you will be late to a game, please let coach know IN ADVANCE, if possible.
Sample Parent Rules1. The referee is ALWAYS RIGHT (even when he’s wrong.) No one argues with or
questions his call. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR FOUL LANGUAGE!
2. Yell only positive things or DO NOT YELL AT ALL! Please don’t yell playing directions to players. Let the coach do that. Too many voices yelling directions is very confusing to players.
3. For away games, if carpooling for caravanning, players and drivers shall meet at a previously agreed upon location and time and go as a team. If you plan to drive but NOT with the team OR if your child will not play that away game, please let coach know IN ADVANCE, so everyone does not wait and wait for you.
4. Soccer is a team sport. Parents are also an important part of the team, as your support is crucial to your child’s success. Your young player needs help to keep track of his ball, shin guards, team shirt, water bottle, etc. Please plan on staying for the practice if you can. Team helpers are always welcome.
5. If you can’t stay, please arrive 15 minutes before practice is over, GET OUT OF THE CAR, and be present to hear the announcements and get hand-outs. This is VERY IMPORTANT. Same for post-game announcements on Saturdays.

Developmental Notes about Kinders – What I learned in previous years!
1. These kids have been working their entire life to learn how to share and take turns. The soccer ideas of “steal the ball from someone” or “try to keep it as long as you can” are counter to all this training. You may have some tears and complaints that “They’re not sharing! They won’t let me have a turn with the ball….”Suggestion: don’t play too many aggressive games where you pit
kids against one another for possession of the ball. Competition at this age doesn’t go over well, as they don’t lose well. What works is everyone working on the same thing at the same time, such as dribbling around from goal to goal and shooting ball thru, or from cone to cone and shooting to hit the cone and knock it over. Or tag-type games where when you’re tagged you also become it and get to keep playing. Or general games, like all players trying to creep up on the monster to steal balls without waking him up…
2. Kinders may get attached to “their” ball, especially if it has some identifying color, mark, or their name. Any game where they run to a new ball or someone gets their ball may cause tears.Suggestion: Begin by explaining that in this game they will
trade balls for a SHORT while. At the end, they will get their own ball back. Make sure the next game they can keep their own ball.
3. Kinders do not understand boundary lines. If they are playing hard, lines are invisible and meaningless. If the ball goes “out of bounds” they take no notice and just keep going after it until an adult stops them. Their playing field, in their minds, is the entire open space around them.Suggestion: play lots of open games (Eg, tag) and do not require
much staying inside of lines. IF you do some things inside a box or circle, use MANY discs to mark your lines clearly AND station parents all around like a “bungee fence” to direct them back into the playing space. If you mark off a space, be sure to do lots of other “open space” games to counteract possible frustrations. Also, games that have one line only – to approach or cross, are easier for them to grasp.
4. Don’t even bother to try and play more than a 2v2 game. Make wide cone-goals. I found that if I played a 3v3, they mowed one another down as they charged around like raging bulls. The whole idea of a rectangle with a goal at both ends makes no sense to
17TCYSA 2019
them.Suggestion: If you want to try a tiny game, make it two kids and
one parent per team. Have the parents make gentle passes to them, show them which way to run, and how to defend the goal by getting ahead of the one with the ball. Group like-levels of athleticism together, so they all have an even chance to get to the ball. Even better, put a goal on each side and let anyone score anywhere. Or divide them in half and have one person for each goal to defend it for 3 minutes, then switch attackers and defenders.
1. Kinders can barely score a goal when they stand right in front of it with no defender present. So, design games that have lots of rewarding moments. They won’t get many from scoring in the traditional sense.
This is a delightful age, but has its unique level of maturity. Work with where they are in their development, not against it. My Kinders ended up loving soccer last year, which was rewarding and fun for all of us. It was a learning experience for me, too!
Parents are most apt to hang out at this age, so recruit them to help and look for future coaches in their midst. If your group is small, work with them as one unit and do at least 4 to 5 different activities in your hour together. If it’s big, wonderful! Set up stations and do different things at each one. Have a parent run each station. Alternate running and restful stations. Have the kids rotate thru and parent- helpers stay put.
The easiest way to set up the stations is to have them planned. Take everyone to the first one, demonstrate and get it going. Leave a parent and group there. Take the rest and repeat at station #2. Their attention span is limited. 5 minutes of running will tire them out.
More restful activities, if it’s one they like, can go for up to 10 minutes. Change stations until everyone has done everything. Then, set up 2 or 3 more and repeat.
Observe which stations the kids really like. The next time you do stations, an experienced parent who helped the time before can set that one up and get it going while you work on something new.
My second year doing Kindersoccer I took a different approach that worked well. I announced that Kindersoccer was family “together time”
18TCYSA 2019
A parent/child activity and set many large group activities up where the player and parent worked together as a pair. We started with very easy things - parent throws ball out and child runs to it and dribbles back. They loved that! Add variations: dribble back and then kick ball to parent when close, or kick thru parent’s legs. Over time I moved to using parent-partner activities mostly for warm-ups as people arrived, but it was a good way to work with them.
Don’t worry about making mistakes in planning. Kids will cry and that’s normal. Usually, they bounce right back if Mom or Dad is supportive but not TOO sympathetic. Learn from your kids. Observe what they enjoy, how long they can last at an activity, what works and what doesn’t. In general, if you are warm and friendly and encouraging, they will do fine. If they don’t, they may not be ready for this kind of activity. That’s ok, too. Let them watch and try as much as they feel comfortable doing.
I had 3-year-old siblings plunging in and joining the crew while some older kids just couldn’t handle the ball-hogging aspects of trying to keep or get possession. Try to maximize a positive experience for everyone and yourself. Keep it to an hour or less and don’t forget to have fun!

Can use corner flags to mark height of goal if neededOr – a bare bones field has just an outline or parts of an outline if you’re on a field lined for an older age group. Small orange discs can be use to outline the field, mark a half way line and mark a distance out for goal kicks. U8 Travel Soccer often did this when I had a U8 team. (Sally)

Law 13 Free Kicks All free kicks are Indirect, opponents 5 yards off the ball; 2nd touch rule will be enforced. (Kicking player may not touch ball after kicking until someone else touches it – teammate or opponent.)

goal box, including on the line. Defenders may be in the goal box; attackers must be outside the goal box and 5 yards off the ball. Ball must clear the box to be in play. No one touches the ball until it does clear.
Law 17 Corner Kick Like all free kicks in 4v4, this is Indirect. Opponents must be 5 yards away. Instruct kicking player to “pass to a teammate!” to avoid 2nd touch.
In general – if the two coaches agree on any modifications and explain them to the kids, it’s OK!
The idea is to have fun, learn some soccer, and get fit! Be sure you have these rules with you in case of a question.
TCYSA asks opposing coaches/players to shake hands after each game and have your team captains thank the official for refereeing their game.
