2 GENERAL RULES OF PLAY ALL LEVELS AND AGES EXCEPTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO FIFA LAWS Except as otherwise noted in these rules, FIFA Laws will govern the play of all games in STYSA Competitions for youth play AGE GROUPS All South Texas Youth Soccer Association play must be between teams of the same age groups. Age groups are determined by the player s age as of midnight, July 31, of the year in which the player could be registered with STYSA for fall season play.the immediately preceding Registration Period. [RC Note: The CURRENT STYSA Rule 6.0 refers to midnight of July 31, of the year in which the player could be registered with STYSA for Fall season play. This does not match CURRENT STYSA Rule , which refers to previous Seasonal Year. Both the current and proposed changes seem to offer confusion. The Rules Committee suggestion uses immediately preceding Registration Period, defined in Rule as August 1 July 31. The Rules Committee suggested change should be reviewed with the STYSA Registrar and others knowledgeable about registration to determine if it is suitable. This also appears in Rules Change Proposal #1, Rule ] The age groups are as follows: Under 19 years of age Under 18 years of age Under 17 years of age Under 16 years of age Under 15 years of age Under 14 years of age Under 13 years of age Under 12 years of age Under 11 years of age Under 10 years of age Under 9 years of age Under 8 years of age Under 7 years of age Under 6 years of age Under 5 years of age Under 4 years of age [RC Comment: The age groups are specified in the revised Rule under Rules Change Proposal #1. As that rule governs team formation in more detail, the duplicate statement here could be deleted. ] [RC Comment: In any event, the Executive Committee and Governing Board must avoid inconsistency between this Rule 6.0 and Rule 3.3.1, as they cover the same issues. If either proposal is not adopted, then a corrective amendment of the other proposal is needed, to coordinate the two rules as actually in effect.] Any coach or assistant coach who is responsible for knowingly playing an ineligible player will be subject to suspension from participation in any STYSA sanctioned program. Age groups can be combined at the discretion of the association/club as needed (exe.g.,. U10-12) or include brackets to combine age groups. [RC Note: This edit corrects the cross-reference usage. The actual proposed rule as stated here should be clarified by the proponent, as the include brackets clause seems to duplicate the combine age groups clause. Is there a difference intended, and if so, what is it?] - 2 -
3 6.1. SPECIAL RULES OF PLAY Under-4 through Under-19 Age Groups EXCEPTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO FIFA LAWS Age Group a. A player with his / her parent s and coach s permission, and in compliance with the local association playing rules, may play in an older age group; however. [RC Note: This however usage does not fit grammatically with the new sentence in the following part b.] b. Except as provided herein, no player may play in a younger age group thant the age group for which he/she is eligible. For Division III players only, if a medical condition exists (substantiated in writing by a licensed physician with no family relationship to player, that will prohibit or severely hinder a player from playing in his/her own age group, the player may seek special approval from his/her Local Association / Club Board and Member Association to allow the player to play down in a younger age group. All requests must be submitted to and approved by the STYSA Executive Committee prior to the player s first game. c. Age groups Under-12 and younger shall be permitted to play with a number of players fewer than that specified in the FIFA Laws of the Game. [RC comment: The committee did not understand why the medical condition play-down option of part b here applies only to Division III and not to Division IV, which could well have similar situations. Could that medical condition option apply in both Division III and Division IV?] Law I.

If permitted not prohibited by the rules of by the competition, coaches can agree, prior to the game, to adjust the environment as needed so that a forfeit can be avoided or game can be played even if a forfeit does occur. Playing a game pursuant to such an agreement does not alter a forfeiture that otherwise would occur. This can be accomplished by borrowing eligible players from the other team and adjusting both teams to make the teams even

8 If deemed necessary, competition officials, coaches and/or referees may adjust the length of games due to weather conditions (i.e. water breaks) or may adjust based on the nature of the competition Law VI. Player Equipment a. All players will wear shin guards which are commercially produced and specifically designed to provide protection to the shins. b. No player will be allowed to play with a hard cast (padded or otherwise), nor will any player be allowed to play with any brace (knee or otherwise) that contains exposed metal or hard plastics, unless it is wrapped with a minimum of ½ inch high-density foam wrapping or the manufacturer s recommended protective coating. c. Bandannas of any style may not be worn during any game. Players may not wear a bandanna either on their heads, legs or arms. Exceptions may be made at the local level for medical reasons. d. The Players Equipment: Conform to FIFA. Non-uniform clothing is allowed based on weather conditions, but uniforms must still distinguish teams Law VII. Referees The referee s judgment decisions shall be final in all matters concerning the rules governing the playing of the game, the playability of the field and the appropriateness of the uniforms. At the completion of the match, the referee shall have each coach sign the game report and submit the game report to the competition representative. For rrules pertaining to the number of players on the field to avoid forfeit will be determined by the national, state and local competition. Also see Law I, Rule [RC Note: Edited to add a rule reference.] Unless an agreement can be made prior to the match (see Law I, ). It shall be the duty of the referee to declare a forfeit in the event that a team has less than the required minimum number of players on the field ready to play within 15 minutes after the game was scheduled to start. If neither team has the required number, it shall be a double forfeit and shall be scored as a loss for both teams. In the event that the referee rules that the field is not playable, or that the uniforms are inappropriate, then he should note these facts on the game report and have each coach sign it. [RC Note: Delete the text on forfeiture declared by referee. The Committee understands that a referee does not determine a forfeit. That is governed by the rules of competition. The referee would only note facts on the referee s report. This deletion also coordinates with the agreement to play change proposed in Rule The Rules Committee received input on referee authority under FIFA laws, which included the following: Per FIFA Laws of the game (Law 5) the Referee only has the authority to stop, suspend or abandon a match. (Law 7) Any abandoned match is to be replay unless determined otherwise by a competition authority. The referee can only determine if the game is played due to number of starting or continuing players. The situation/conditions that resulted in that have to be evaluated by the competition authority before a decision can be made regarding forfeiture. The Executive Committee should consult as needed for coordination with FIFA and other Laws.] - 7 -
9 A game card will be completed by the referee for all play within STYSA. This card will, at a minimum, contain the following: ** Association, age group, division, game location, date, game time ** Team names and final score ** Cautions (yellow cards) or ejections (red cards) issued, by team with player / name ** Any protest noted and brief basis for those protests ** Prior to each STYSA sanctioned match, each team shall present to the referee the Adult Participation Pass for each Coach and other Eligible Adult who is present. The referee shall record as part of the game card each Adult Participation Pass that is so presented, by marking on the roster next to the name of each Coach (over age 17) or other Eligible Adult who is listed on the roster and is identified on an Adult Participation Pass and by recording on the game card the name of each Coach (over age 17) or other Eligible Adult for whom an Adult Participation Pass is presented but is not on the roster. These game cards are to be retained through the end of the District or STYSA Tournaments. Disputes must be noted on the referee s game report and a complete description of the incident shall be submitted to the appropriate Disciplinary and Protest Representative Law VIII- Fouls and Misconduct The FIFA Law with respect to the charging of the goalkeeper shall not apply in youth play. There shall be no charging of the goalkeeper, fairly or unfairly, in STYSA sanctioned competition. Any such act will be considered as dangerous play at the least and punished accordingly. Rules Committee Recommendation: With the corrections and recommendations of the Committee, we think Rules Change Proposal #2 as so revised is in an appropriate form for further consideration by the Executive Committee and the Governing Board. The policy questions raised by the changes are for decision by the Executive Committee and Governing Board. See Rules Committee Report dated May 21, 2015, for more information. Executive Committee Recommendation: Recommend passage as amended.

Player Equipment e. All players will wear shin guards which are commercially produced and specifically designed to provide protection to the shins. f. No player will be allowed to play with a hard cast (padded or otherwise), nor will any player be allowed to play with any brace (knee or otherwise) that contains exposed metal or hard plastics, unless it is wrapped with a minimum of ½ inch high-density foam wrapping or the manufacturer s recommended protective coating. g. Bandannas of any style may not be worn during any game. Players may not wear a bandanna either on their heads, legs or arms. Exceptions may be made at the local level for medical reasons. h. The Players Equipment: Conform to FIFA. Non-uniform clothing is allowed based on weather conditions, but uniforms must still distinguish teams Law V. Referees The referee s judgment decisions shall be final in all matters concerning the rules governing the playing of the game, the playability of the field and the appropriateness of the uniforms. At the completion of the match, the referee shall have each coach sign the game report and submit the game report to the competition representative. For rrules pertaining to the number of players on the field to avoid forfeit will be determined by the national, state and local competition. Also see Law I, Rule [RC Note: Edited to add a rule reference.] Unless an agreement can be made prior to the match (see Law I, ). It shall be the duty of the referee to declare a forfeit in the event that a team has less than the required minimum number of players on the field ready to play within 15 minutes after the game was scheduled to start. If neither team has the required number, it shall be a double forfeit and shall be scored as a loss for both teams. In the event that the referee rules that the field is not playable, or that the uniforms are inappropriate, then he should note these facts on the game report and have each coach sign it. [RC Note: Delete the text on forfeiture declared by referee. The Committee understands that a referee does not determine a forfeit. That is governed by the rules of competition. The referee would only note facts on the referee s report. This deletion also coordinates with the agreement to play change proposed in Rule The Rules Committee received input on referee authority under FIFA laws, which included the following: Per FIFA Laws of the game (Law 5) the Referee only has the authority to stop, suspend or abandon a match. (Law 7) Any abandoned match is to be replay unless determined otherwise by a competition authority. The referee can only determine if the game is played due to number of starting or continuing players. The situation/conditions that resulted in that have to be - 6 -
16 evaluated by the competition authority before a decision can be made regarding forfeiture. Executive Committee should consult as needed for coordination with FIFA and other Laws.] The A game card will be completed by the referee for all play within STYSA. This card will, at a minimum, contain the following: ** Association, age group, division, game location, date, game time ** Team names and final score ** Cautions (yellow cards) or ejections (red cards) issued, by team with player / name ** Any protest noted and brief basis for those protests ** Prior to each STYSA sanctioned match, each team shall present to the referee the Adult Participation Pass for each Coach and other Eligible Adult who is present.

These game cards are to be retained through the end of the District or STYSA Tournaments. Disputes must be noted on the referee s game report and a complete description of the incident shall be submitted to the appropriate Disciplinary and Protest Representative Law XII- Fouls and Misconduct The FIFA Law with respect to the charging of the goalkeeper shall not apply in youth play.
