Shoes: Soccer vs Other Sports
Thu, 08/06/2009 - 22:41 | snapjag
There have been a number of parents that have purchased shoes that are not soccer approved. We thought we would post what is approved to help make sure you get the right equipment so your child can play.
It is against the rules to play with cleats that are not soccer approved. So, what is the difference between Soccer shoes and other sports cleats, like football or baseball? Aren't they all the same?
Essential Equipment
Thu, 08/06/2009 - 22:35 | snapjag
Equipment is essential to any job, activity, or sport. The tools make it possible to be successful or a failure at what you do. Soccer equipment is simple, yet if you don't have right type, the game won't be as fun. Someone, either you, or someone else, will get hurt.

Ever want to be more informed about the rules of Soccer? What is offsides? What does the referee look for in good sportsmanship? What is the exepectation of the referee, the coach, the players, or the spectators? We want to bring everyone together to all be on the same page about the rules and expectations.
Substitution Rule Changes
Wed, 07/29/2009 - 16:26 | snapjag
The league rules regarding substitutions have been updated to match rules being implemented in the competition league (Razzia).
Our current league Laws of the Game indicate that a substitution can occur on a stoppage of play and only for the team that has possession of the ball. The league will now allow a substitution by both teams on a stoppage of play. Not just for the team that has possession.
Substitutions will still ONLY be allowed on the following stoppages:

Website Update
Mon, 07/27/2009 - 01:09 | snapjag
We have recently updated the website and desired to provide an advancement in presenting League and Division information in a more organized way. At the top of each page, we have placed a link to each division blog. Within each blog, you will find information that relates directly to that division. We hope this will allow you to get to the details much faster and it will help us to organize the information better and it doesn't get overlooked.
Offsides
Sun, 07/26/2009 - 23:02 | snapjag
What is offsides? What are the rules pertaining to offsides? How can it be used as a strategy? Often time, this rule is mistaken more or has had more controversy than any other rule. In fact, a player is not offsides in and of itself. A player is only offsides when certain conditions occur and the referee feels that the play is unfair. This should peak an interest in learning more about the rule.
