Registration Software Training
Florida Youth Soccer will soon be changing its registration software and procedures to Got Soccer. The new software will integrate player and coach/volunteer registration, team formation, league scheduling, referee assigning and red card reporting. A webinar is being set up to train registrars and affiliate representatives as well as affiliated leagues and referee assignors on the use of this new software. When the webinar is available, information will be emailed to all affiliates and posted here.
Two $1,000 scholarships will be awarded based on community service and giving back to the game of soccer to honor the memory of William J. "Billy" Goaziou. The scholarships are awarded annually through the US Youth Soccer Foundation to one male and one female recipient. Students eligible for this year’s scholarships are those planning to attend a post-secondary education institute for the first time in the fall of 2010.

The FYSA Executive Committee has approved the implementation of procedures to be followed in the application of FYSA Rule 502.5. As all should be aware, FYSA currently is tracking red card and other ejection offenses received in tournament, league and State/Region Cup play that may qualify as underlying actions for the imposition of FYSA Rule 502.5.
502.5 Any player or coach who receives a second red card/ejection during a seasonal year or a third within two seasonal years for either violent conduct (major infraction), foul and/or abusive language directed, spitting, or referee abuse, after notification from FYSA to the player, coach and affiliate Agent of Record within seven (7) days, may be suspended for thirteen (13) games or six (6) months, whichever is longer. Multiple offenses relating to the same red card/ejection will qualify under this rule. The action may be appealed to the FYSA Protest and Appeals Committee.

It is a major goal of FYSA to provide a safe environment for our children to enjoy the game of soccer. To this end, FYSA has in place a risk management policy, Kid’s Safe, for the protection of its players. FYSA’s risk management policy requires that every adult member that has contact with or access to our players and/or their confidential data must be cleared through a national background check. This action is for the protection of not only FYSA and its affiliate members but ultimately our most precious resource, the children entrusted to us.
As such, FYSA requires that every affiliate register any and all adult members in order for an annual criminal background check to be conducted.
The official Florida Youth Soccer Association website, www.fysa.com, is a valuable opportunity for advertisers to reach over 100,000 registered players and their parents and over 15,000 coaches and volunteers.
