AYSO Summary of the 2008 Changes To the Laws of the Game
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.

Area 11-L is proud to sponsor the Area 11-L Training Conference at El Toro High School in Lake Forest, CA.  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.
