Recent Rule Changes in Effect
The following changes will be implemented as recommended by AYSO National.

U8 Free Kicks: ALL free kicks for U8 will now be Direct Free Kicks. This means that any free kick is a scoring opportunity. Make your players aware of this in advance.

U8 Goalkeepers: There will be keepers in U8. Our region recently voted this into effect.

Coach Web Blog
New for EMSL Coaches, a web blog has been established separate from the EMSL web site for you to use as a networking tool with other coaches. We encourage you to begin visiting it and asking questions, making comments, etc. We are all here to do the same job and sharing information or discussing problems we experience can be beneficial for the legue and the players. Do not give this link to players, it is intended for adult coach discussions only.
Visit the link below to get started.

Coach Clinics in Albuquerque
Coaches from EMSL may attend any course offered in Albuquerque. Some of these courses are offered by EMSL, some are not. Click here to go to the training schedule page for Region 104.

Volunteer Forms and Safe Haven
Every coach must complete a volunteer form and attend a Safe Haven training course once every Fall-Spring season. This is for the safety and benefit of the kids. Please try to provide accurate and honest information on your form, and make time to become Safe Haven certified. You can now fill out your volunteer form online at www.eayso.org. You must still bring two copies of the form to the coach's meeting or to your coach training course to have your ID verified.

The Ranking Meeting
Every season coaches are expected to attend a Ranking Meeting. This is the only way the league can balance teams. It is your responsibility to fairly evaluate your players as well as others in your division to insure balanced teams, and fair play, amongst our teams the following season. Always bring your players' registration sheets to the ranking meeting to supply accurate birthdate information.

All Games MUST End ON TIME
Coaches - YOU are responsible for getting parents to the field early when you have first game to set up goals. If you do not get set up on time, your game is the one that will be cut short. Your team ref should be instructed at the ref clinic and by you to end on time, no matter what.

Forms for Coaches
Accident Report forms must be turned in to the Safety Director anytime one of your players is injured before, during or after a game or practice and is not able to return to the playing field that day. Even if they do return to play, it's safer to inform the Safety Director of injuries in case it becomes a more serious injury after the player leaves your sight.

The Kids Zone Parent Pledge is extremely valuable to let all of your parents know at the beginning of the season what is expected of them throughout the season. If you have issues with them later in the season you can refer backto it and the fact that they agreed to it's contents.

Participation Release Form must be signed by a child's doctor before they are allowed to return to practice or play after suffering an injury that required medical attention. The form must be turned in to the Safety Director upon receipt.

Serious Incident Report Form is for reporting a fight or confrontation that takes place at any AYSO function. Do not let such situations go without bringing them to the attention of the Regional Commisioner, Coach Administrator, or Safety Director.
