Preventing ACL injuries with the FIFA 11+ program
Posted: Wednesday June 21st, 2023 Expires: 12/31/2024
FIFA 11+ is an ACL injury prevention program designed to be performed by players prior to training and competitive games. Players and teams can reduce their rate of ACL injury using a series of simple warm-up exercises. Many studies have confirmed the effectiveness of the FIFA 11+ program, showing significantly reduced injury rates of around 45% and decreased time lost to injury by 30% in competitive soccer players. This benefit has not only been observed in adults, but also in children, in whom ACL rupture has serious consequences. |

Amateur Sports Officials Assault Protection Bill
Posted: Monday February 6th, 2023 Expires: 12/31/2024
The Washington State House of Representatives has added to their docket for the upcoming “2023 Regular Session” a bill requesting to add amateur sports officials to the assault protection that many other public-serving professions already receive. Should this bill pass, Washington State will be only the 23rd state in the U.S. with any type of codified protection for amateur sports officials. By adding amateur sports officials to the existing protected groups within RCW 9A.36.031, it would make assaults against amateur sports officials a class C felony. This protection is already afforded to bus drivers, police officers, health care workers, firefighters, judges, court workers. The passage of this bill would continue to send a message to all that Washington State values the protection of amateur sports officials. The crisis we face with unsporting behavior across our state, and country, continues to drive officials away from our avocation, and without officials there would be no games. Please spread the word about this bill. Ask everyone to contact their State Representatives and request that they sign onto this bill. Let’s get HB 1096-2023-24 passed. The more our legislators know how much this means to officials, the more likely we will be to ensure it gets made into law. Find your State Representative: https://leg.wa.gov/house/Pages/default.aspx Direct link to HB-1096-2023-24 information: https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=1096&Initiative=false&Year=2023 RCW 9A.36.031: https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9a.36.031 Direct Link to HB-1096-2023-24: https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2023-24/Pdf/Bills/House%20Bills/1096.pdf?q=20221230104402 |

Summary changes for 2022-2023 by IFAB
Posted: Tuesday May 24th, 2022 Expires: 12/31/2024
FIFA Laws of the Game are the core of rules for Soccer. All 17 Laws can be visited anytime at https://www.theifab.com/ NSYSA utilizes age-level modifications to some of these laws for Small-Sided and Full-Sided Rec. and Comp. play. (e.g. number of players, field size, and size of game balls dependent on age of play). Per IFAB "Any approved changes to the Laws of the Game will become mandatory from 1 July 2022; competitions starting before that date will have the option of implementing them earlier." (Translation: ONLY if you have a summer tourney starting on Thursday, June 30, do you need to worry about '22-'23 modifications to the Laws of the Game possibly changing in the middle of your tournament on July 1!) Once recommendations are received from WYS, NSYSA will approve rules of play for fall Small-Sided and Full-Sided Recreational play. These should come out in advance of teams getting ready for the September 10 kick-off of the Fall 2022 season!

Posted: Sunday October 3rd, 2021 Expires: 12/31/2024
STTM (Soccer To The Maxx) had 34 teams enjoy a wonderful day of soccer. BREMERTON Soccer Club "kicked it" into high gear again. Relining fields to create 4 larger and 4 small-sided fields with a strong club showing of volunteer support including Shannon and Matt Bayne, John Hurley, Brian Burdick and so many others along with covering all of the games with referees! Great Job and Thank You BSC and congratulations on celebrating 50 years as a club. So grreat to see Steve Vonheeder. We were expecting some possible challenges with Covid and did have 2 teams having to withdraw, but fortunately, we were able to replace them with two teams which kept our brackets good! Kids, Coaches and families were all super throughout the day with great positive attitudes which helped the Jamboree be so enjoyable. Big shout out to Jason with North Mason who came out and grilled burgers and dogs for all the referees and volunteers! Thank you Bob and Steve with help on last minutes schedule revisions! It is really nice to have this jamboree for our younger teams and to recognize the bedrock of volunteers who have led the way like Maxine and Tim Burns. Reporting, with thanks - Louie Bond, STTM Director |

Can We Improve the Culture of Sports?
Posted: Saturday July 31st, 2021 Expires: 12/31/2024
As we lace up cleats and blow-up balls for another season of soccer, let's everyone — coaches, referees, players, administrators and parents — undertake the ultimate (personal) responsibility for improving the culture of youth sports. The key lies in the rules. Our kids deserve a healthy culture of mutual respect and camaraderie led by adults able to model the ideals of competition and sportsmanship. Paradigm-shifting change is never easy. For example, when heading was eliminated and the fall-back line was added for U11 and below play, the initial reaction was much wailing and outrage. Yet, because the goal was clear and necessary, the change happened, and it has reduced incidents of serious injury as well as improved the development nature of the small-sided game. Productive change is always possible, especially to address a crisis — like the referee shortage - it starts with EVERYONE doing their part.
Thank you for your continuing cooperation with NSYSA on this journey.
