The 122nd Annual General Meeting of the
International Football Association Board was held March 8th in
Gleneagles, Scotland. With 2010 FIFA World Cup(TM) qualification
matches underway, the IFAB made minimal revisions.
The only amendment to the substance of the Laws of the Game is
in Law Two, IFAB Decision One. There was also a revision to Law
One (standardizing field of play dimensions for ‘A’
international matches) approved in March but subsequently
suspended at a special IFAB meeting in May; the proposed change
will be reviewed at the Board’s 2009 AGM in Northern Ireland.

provided by Bill Mason, AYSO Law Interpreter, of how this year’s
IFAB actions apply to AYSO.

Area
11-L is proud to sponsor the Area 11-L Training Conference at
El Toro High School
in Lake Forest, CA.
Do you have enough Referee Instructors in your regions?
We believe that every region should have at least 2 Referee
Instructors, and preferably more for larger regions.
The Instructor program Saturday-Sunday January 24-25, 2009 will
include
Referee Instructor, Advanced
Referee Instructor and
Referee Instructor Evaluator.
The Referee
Instructor is the key referee instruction position for each
Region in AYSO. After attending the courses, candidates will
work with experienced mentors to complete their certification.
Volunteers certified as Referee Instructors may lead the U8,
Regional and Intermediate Referee courses. Advanced Referee
Instructors may lead all referee courses up to and including the
Advanced Referee course. The Referee Instructor Evaluator course
will prepare qualified Referee Instructors to evaluate and
participate in certifying other instructors, and provide
positive constructive feedback to them.
Good instructors are passionate about AYSO and articulate when
speaking to groups. Please consider which of your volunteers
should specifically be encouraged to attend these
classes. People typically attend classes because they are asked
to attend, not just because a class is being held. Instructors
are a key to growing AYSO and spreading the AYSO culture.
Quality instruction is the first step to developing quality
refereeing for our kids.
In addition to the Instructor classes, we will also hold
Intermediate Referee,
Advanced Referee
and
National Referee
classes January 16-18, 2009, and
Regional Referee
classes
Saturday January 17 and Saturday January 24, 2009.
