in your organized programs, how are your officials calling tripping. In our local Recreation Soccer League all they call is Out of bounds, goal kick, corner kick, hands. That's it, and it is like bully playground soccer out there. The one that pushes or trips first gets the ball. I have spoken with the Rec-director, as well as the refs ( which are just high school B-ball players from his team, yep you guessed it the Rec-director is the High School B-Ball coach )
This is my last year coaching, because my son will be too old next year. But I have already told the Director that I will volunteer to Ref games next year. But would like some opinions on how to call Tripping for such a program. Should the Red, and Yellow cards be incorperated? And how would all that work? Thanks David

Where would someone go to see about starting up a youth League soccer program. Our school district will not add another sports program, they don't think there is enough interest. Thanks for any advice.
