AYSO Fall 2019 Season

Welcome Camarillo AYSO Region 68 Fall 2019 Soccer Season! I am excited about another year of world-class youth soccer.

Here are a few of the important things for the Fall 2019 season

• We have redesigned the website for you to use it as an information source for all your referee questions.
• The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has changed and clarified some of our 17 Laws of the game. You can see the changes on the Laws of the Game Tab on this website. (Larry create a hyperlink)
• We have moved some of the fields to better include the younger divisions, check out our new map (Larry create a hyperlink)
• We are encouraging more of the parents refereeing the 6U, 7U and 8U games to get referee training

As a thank you to our returning referees we are holding our Returning Referee BBQ and Class on Sunday, August 11, 2019 at 4:30 p.m. at the Pleasant Valley Fields on the east end. We will provide good food and update you on law changes.

As an additional thank you, when a referee completes five games, you will receive a gift of either a referee hat, referee thermos or referee flags (while supplies last). For those referees that complete 10 games, you can choose a new high-quality referee jersey.

If you have been a Regional Referee and your players are getting older, we encourage you to take the Intermediate Referee Course that will be held over three evenings, September 16, 17 and 19, 2019. This is a chance to increase your skills as your player increases their skills.

If you have any questions or concerns about refereeing this year, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

Looking forward to a great soccer season!

    b. An indirect free kick awarded to the attacking team inside the opposing team’s penalty area, must be taken on the penalty area line parallel to the goal line at the point nearest to where the player touched the ball with his/her head.
