Despite Loss of Handshakes, Sportsmanship Will Continue in Soccer.
The “new normal” post-COVID-19 will include a new “no-no” that cuts at the heart of all sports – the handshake.

The absence of these time-honored ways to express respect for the opponent does not diminish the importance of displaying sportsmanship in youth sports. In fact, experts believe concern for fairness and displays of kindness, respect and graciousness will be more pronounced once sports resume; however, the methods of sharing these feelings will be different.

Take our Poll and share your thoughts on what soccer should replace the handshake with

Our friends at Bainbridge Island Football Club have been so supportive of area NSYSA soccer clubs and families. We encourage you to start sharing BIFC's weekly training program and links to your teams and players.
They even have an app!
It's not a huge time commitment, and it'll give players a structure, guidance and inspiration for their time on the ball.
Much of the ball work can even be done inside on rainy days (if you're brave parents have given the OK...).

Stay Safe. Stay fit. Stay hopeful that we'll be back on the soccer pitch soon!

As the COVID-19 crisis unfolds, our friends at Referee.com continue to share stories from around the country on how officials and especially our soccer referees are being impacted and how we can adapt and overcome this unprecedented situation

Soccer, like many sports have repeated practices or habits that we can rehearse even when we're not working a game. Let's take time to learn and reinforce good habits...practice the practices.

The past few weeks have been filled with worry and confusion due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The school semester has been placed on hold, parents are working from home, soccer seasons paused and social distancing implemented. Our normal daily life has been disrupted and there is not a concrete timeline as to when our regularly scheduled days will return.

The youth soccer community understands that these are not the best of times and the time away from the field can be frustrating. To help appease the absence of soccer from our lives, we decided to brainstorm ways to bring the beautiful game of soccer to you!

Throughout this time, we will regularly update this page with more fun, soccer-related activities you can do from the comfort of your own home. Share this with a teammate, parent, friend, coach and anyone else you can think of to help spread the soccer cheer!

Okay so now that you've been subbed in as ‘coach,’ let's get started!

Forwarded from the President of NSYSA:

"Given current health and travel concerns, we wanted to provide you with an overview of the steps USYS is taking to keep our community safe and informed. We are proactively engaged in ongoing communications with all travel providers, related government agencies, and our soccer community at the national, regional and local level."

Experts share how the ride home from practice or a game should be a sanctuary, giving kids the time and space to digest the game and recover physically and emotionally from a match.
