A memorandum was released on October 4, 2007 by the State Referee Association regarding the interpretation of Law 11-Offside. All coaches and parents are highly advised to read this "new interpretation" to keep themselves educated regarding the game of soccer and to hopefully curb any inappropriate sideline behavior towards the officials.

 

The following message is one which was sent to all soccer clubs which are members of the Virginia Youth Soccer Association (state-governing socccer association). On behalf of the VYSA President, the NUSC Board of Directors, Officers, and Staff would kindly request that all coaches and parents read this important message and please assist us in keeping all children from climbing goals or other potentially dangerous areas at all practice sites and at the Lake Taylor School Campus where matches are played. For Advanced and Select players, keep in mind the same guidelines when away matches are played. Please be assured that the NUSC Staff and Volunteers check the fields regularly for potentially dangerous situations; however, the club welcomes any volunteers or suggestions from the club membership. Thank you for your time in reading this message and assisting us with the safety of the children. To read this important message, please click here.
