Notes from Select Season coordinator

posted Jan 31, 2012 5:52 PM by Davis AYSO Webmaster

1/31/12
Just a few notes to start your week off right:
  • Tournaments: All tournaments except the PHMSA Soccerfest now have their registration info posted on their websites, and deadlines rapidly approaching. All are open except for Soccerfest (which has no info up other than tourney dates) and Davis World Cup (whose registration info should be posted on or about 5 Feb). Make sure to sign up early, and to take into account turn-around time for those that require Regional checks. And please follow the Regional check info that was sent out previously - contact your Divisional Coordinator if you need it again.
  • Extra Games: I am attaching to this email a list of those games that have been scheduled to take place in Davis for the rest of the regular Select season.  For people who would like to schedule additional extra games, here is the method/rules I propose using for the remainder of the season:
    • Regularly scheduled games supersede all reservations.  However, regular games can bump an extra game if the primary field is unplayable.
    • Games that are scheduled outside Davis cannot bump an extra game scheduled in Davis. 
    • All coaches have Wednesday until 5:00 pm to request a reservation via email to me.
    • After approval, I will then forward the request on to the RefScheduler for ref self-assignment. However, I cannot ensure that refs will be available, so make sure you have a few in reserve between your two teams.
    • If there is room on the regular field you play on (Valley Oak, Nugget), you MAY request that field, but there are no assurances. To be safe, I would suggest requesting your appropriate back-up field.
    • Coaches cannot reserve more than 2 weekends in any one month.
    • In the e-mail subject line you can just write, “1/15/11 U12B  DAV 01 vs. Pleasant Hill 02 2:00 Northstar East”. 
    • Unless you hear from me “confirmed”, do not assume you have the field for that game!
  • Yellow/Red Card: All of the Davis teams have been great so far this season related to receiving cautions and send-offs. Let's keep up that trend!
  • Rosters: As of today, the rosters are locked. As a reminder, there can be no changes in your roster after today without approval by the Area 2C/2D Select Coordinator, which will usually NOT be allowed unless there is an injury to a player.
    • Some reminders from the Select Coaches Manual: After the Select Tournament you can make additions to your roster for specific tournaments with the permission of the Select Coordinator. Players who drop from your team cannot play for another AYSO team. For tournaments you may be required to add players from the Select wait list. If a Select team wishes to add a player to fill a vacancy in the roster for a tournament the coach must have prior permission from the Select Committee prior to contacting replacement players. Players added to the team after the Select Tournament must be taken from the select reserve list or “wait list”, and they must have participated in at least half of the games in the prior Fall season.
      If a player is to be added, the other coaches in the same division must be notified prior to the player being contacted. If multiple teams wish to add players then the Select Committee will arbitrate the selection of players.
  • No Games on 11 Feb: Due to the Section Conference taking place on the weekend of 11-12 Feb, there will be no games that period. This includes "Friendlies" between teams. Please respect this Area rule and have a great soccer-free weekend!
Thanks all!

End-of-season message from Referee Administrator

posted Nov 27, 2011 12:24 PM by Davis AYSO Webmaster


Thanks to all of you for the great season that just concluded. The referee corps did a great job all season. At the Volunteer Awards Dinner the Region recognized four referees with the Referee Service Award:

Ralph Aldredge
Christi Postelwaite
Cary Thompson
Rene Tsang

These four referees moved up the referee ranks, refereed an extra number of games, and volunteered for numerous jobs.

The Region also recognized Kalani Ratnisiri with the Youth Service Award. Kalani is an intermediate referee and refereed the most games for a youth referee including a number of centers.

Finally, Michael Karoly was recognized as Volunteer of the Year. Michael was the Regional Director of Referee Instruction the last three years, a Member of the Board, and completed a renovation of the deck at the Andy Alexander AYSO Headquarter.

Congratulations to all of the Referees who were recognized by the Region.

I want to thank the referee administration team Michael Karoly, Director of Referee Instruction; Steve Judd, incoming Director of Referee Instruction; Mike Coder, Director of Referee Assessment; Amul Purohit, Director of Scheduling and the technical guru behind refscheduler; and Doug Nelson, Director of Referee Recruitment. Michael Karoly deserves a special thanks for all of the hours he has invested in organizing and teaching the referee training classes.

Select Season
The Select Season starts January 7. Please watch ref scheduler for sign ups. The Select games are very competitive and we really need full teams of referees.

Select Season In Service
There will be an in service meeting on January 6, 7-9 pm, at the Andy Alexander AYSO Headquarters. Pizza will be provided along with raffles for equipment. RSVP to Steve Judd at "refinstruction AT davisayso.org".

Congratulations to upgraded referees
  • National Referee (AYSO's highest level): Ralph Aldredge, Dan Jones, Paul Schrupp
  • Advanced Referee: Ian Longue
  • Intermediate Referee: Matt Wood, Jie Zheng

Training Classes
An Intermediate Referee course will be offered in January as follows (must attend all three dates):

Tuesday 1/10/12, 6-10 pm
Thursday 1/12/12, 6-10 pm
Sunday 1/15/12, 1-4 pm

RSVP at eayso.org. After logging on, click on: Signup > Course.

Watch the AYSO referee training page for a Basic course. We ask you to recruit new volunteers to the Basic course.

Section Tournament Games
The Section Tournament is scheduled for December 10-11, 2011 in Foster City. Teams from all over Northern California and Nevada will compete for Section Titles in divisions U10 through U14. We are looking for at least four referees to form an Area 2D team. Referees should be qualified to referee the age appropriate games at a high level. Each team of four referees will referee four games. Last year Cary Thompson from Region 218 refereed the U-14 championship. RSVP to "refereeadmin AT davisayso.org" if you are interested in participating.

That's it for the regular season. I have had a great time getting to know you on the pitch and look forward to the Select Season.
