to attend – the event is open to all individual Under12 players.

meet 4-5 other players to create a team.
- Teams compete in mini-games with each individual
player earning points based on team results.
- After each mini-game, players are
assigned to a new team to continue
the competition.
- Players will play 4-5 mini-games in
each two hour timeframe.
Originally established in the
Netherlands, the tournament format is
designed to emphasize the enjoyment
for players and limit adult involvement.
The players are in charge! They decide
on positions, formation, goalkeepers,
substitutions, etc.

U12 & U14 FIELD MARSHALL PROGRAM
Background:
o
o
o
Referee retention issues seem to have been an increasing issue over the past few years in Saskatoon. This referee shortage is caused by many reasons, but the most
worrisome is the abuse from team officials and spectators towards the youth referees, especially during the outdoor season. The abuse can come in many forms but
in particular, it is the verbal abuse which is personal, provocative and public in regards to the referee’s on-field performance that cause for the most young referees
to quit. It is a possibility they will make a mistake every game but we have to encourage them to learn and improve rather than to insult/degrade their refereeing.
This unacceptable behavior towards our youth and new officials must be addressed as a priority particularly if soccer is to have an adequate supply of referees.
A similar program was started by Calgary Youth Soccer in Outdoor 2008 and within one season they saw improvements in the retention of youth referees.
Specifics:
o
o
o
o
The Field Marshall Program is intended to assign one individual from each team to speak up on behalf of the referee among their fellow
parents/spectators. The program starts in Outdoor 2014 and will pilot at U12 and U14 level.
All teams participating in the U12 & U14 SYSI league play must designate an individual at each game (home and away) to act as a Field
Marshall.
The individual acting as the Field Marshall (FM) must be named on the team’s game sheet. Teams will be fined if they do not list their FM on
the game sheet (U12, U14).
The Field Marshall is to wear an arm band/vest/bib as identification.
Responsibilities of Field Marshall:
o
o
o
o
o
o
o
Position yourself in the middle of your team’s half of the spectators’ seating area.
Monitor the behavior of your teams’ parents.
The Field Marshall is expected to act on behalf of the referee by reminding parents to keep their comments to themselves and refrain from
vocalizing their complaints during the game.
Quickly diffuse potential problems before they arise by either being visible or calmly speaking with the individual(s) involved.
Deal with, and act on, inappropriate comments, gestures and/or general unsporting behavior directed at referees, players or any other individual
by your teams’ spectators but please avoid getting into a confrontation. If someone is still hostile after being asked to calm down, please gather
as much information but do not put yourself in a dangerous position. The Field Marshall will not interfere with the coach but can gather
information should he/she deems it necessary.
The FM are not expected to put themselves in a situation which may compromise their safety and instead are asked to contact SYSI at
oc@saskatoonyouthsoccer.ca and fill a Game Misconduct/Incident report form located on SYSI website. When dealing with this type of issues,
the Game Misconduct Report of the FM will be used to make a decision as a third choice (main two being the game sheet and Game Misconduct
Report and/or Incident Report filled by the referee). If only the FM will submit a Game Misconduct/Incident Report, that form will be filled for
future reoccurrences.
The Field Marshall is expected to support the referee when requested by the official to do so should a situation require this.
Fines:
o
o
o
The administration of warning letters and enforcing fines will be the responsibility of the SYS Office. The warning letter would be sent to the
team contact as well and the zone. Any further offense will result in an invoice to the zone responsible for that team. It will be the zones
responsibility to pay the fine ~ this is the same process used for invoicing for team forfeit fees.
The fine for not participating in the Field Marshall Program will be as follows:
a) First Offense: Warning Letter
b) Second offense: $ 50
c) Third Offense : $ 75
d) Fourth Offense : $100
Any team found to be consistently not participating in the program shall be subject to further disciplinary action.
Zone Discipline:
o
o
Based on any official report, SYSI will forward the zones the appropriate documents and each zone will investigate the incident and act
accordingly. If the issue has not been dealt with on a satisfactory manner by the zone, SYSI’s Discipline Committee will decide on a resolution.
The number of games suspensions should follow the same format as the Ejections paragraph in the SYSI Rules and Regulations (more specific
to the Abusive Language/Indecent Gesture paragraph).
Referee Feedback: Any questions/comments/complaints/compliments in regards to the officiating should be directed to Referee Assignor or
Program Coordinator (who will forward those e-mails to Saskatoon & District Soccer Referees Association).
Guideline for scheduling:
o
o
Scheduling the FM is at the discretion of the team manager/coach and could be one of the following options (but not limited to):
a) 1 game per parent/game in alphabetical order (but not necessarily) at the first team meeting;
b) 2 or 3 parents that want to share the duties decided at the team meeting;
c) Or one parent assigned on the spot right before the game.
SYSI recommends that the assigning of the FM be done in advance in collaboration with the parents and if a parent will not be able to make it to
the assigned game, he can always find a replacement. FM are not to be assistant coaches (but they will sign the game sheet in one of the
Assistant Coaches position.

I will do my best to be a true team player.

I will ensure that all athletes get equal instruction, support and *playing time*. (Check with your zone’s philosophy on equal
or fair playing time).

have fun and must be encouraged to have confidence in themselves.

judged by professional standards.
I will respect the officials’ decisions and I will encourage participants to do the same.
I will never ridicule an athlete for making a mistake during a competition. I will give positive comments that motivate and
encourage continued effort.
I will condemn the use of violence in any form and will express my disapproval in an appropriate manner to coaches and
league officials.
I will show respect for my team’s opponents, because without them there would be no game.

FAIR PLAY IT’S YOUR CALL!!

THE GAME BELONGS TO THE KIDS
What does this mean?
“Game Belongs to the Kids” Campaign main objective is to create awareness and help bring back the fun in the sport of
soccer. The core idea is to remind everyone involved with the game why we are there: to let the kids have fun. We want to
encourage everyone to think foremost of the players and let them enjoy the game. The game means a lot to them as it is;
they will give it their best and have the most fun provided that they don’t feel additional undue pressure to “win”.
Reports from other associations that have tried this idea have been very positive. The kids overwhelmingly said the game
was more fun; they liked playing and not being yelled at. Coaches/parents admitted to having a difficult time initially
remembering the silent part, but also reported being pleased with the results, particularly the happy kids. Kids surveyed
were happier because they had fun. Most of them were happy to see a progress in their game and did not mention wins or
losses.
Goals:
1. Develop our players' thinking and creative ability to make decisions on the field without constant sideline
intervention.
2. Improve the players' ability to communicate with each other on the field by reducing the un-necessary outside
noise level.
3. Support all of our referees by eliminating all sideline dissension and intervention.
4. Bring back the fun in the soccer game and make sure our players improve at a rate that they have chosen to.
It is recommended that all youth teams participate in the “Game Belongs to the Kids” Campaign by following
these guidelines:
1. Spectators/Parents can encourage the players. Please do that by all means as long as there is no negative
connotation towards the other team/players. You know your kids better. Many times, they succumb to the
pressure from the stands/sideline and not perform their best. They don’t like a high pitch scream or to be told
where they need to be, how they need to pass. Any loud, potential negative comments that can be heard by
players, referees, or opponents are un-necessary and should be avoided.
2. Coaches should try to be quiet and "let them play," giving only normal coaching instruction before the game, at
the half, after the game, and to players on the sideline before or after substitutions.
3. Coaches should try to address the referee only to request player substitutions (if applicable) or in case of an
prolonged injury not noticed.
4. When the games are over, ask your kids if they liked it
the game. Explain to them the positive aspects of this
game and ask them if they had fun.
We are not asking anybody not to be competitive. We are not
asking anybody to not try their hardest. The game will still be
about the two teams trying to better each other on the field. They
will be experiencing the highs and lows of the competition. This
is our players game; we (adults) are there to facilitate it. Our main
objective plain and simple is to make sure they have fun.
Underneath that, we have to foster the desire to play and help
them on their chosen path of development. Their individual and
team progress is more important than the “perceived” success of
qualifying for the playoffs, winning the championship etc.
SYSI’s intention is not to enforce this Campaign on anybody. We
cannot and we will not be supervising each game making sure
that you are adhering to it. It will be YOU that will make it
successful and ultimately OUR kids will enjoy and reap the
multitude of benefits the sport of soccer brings. This is their
game!
