Summary changes for 2022-2023 by IFAB
Posted: Tuesday May 24th, 2022 Expires: 12/31/2024
![]() | FIFA Laws of the Game are the core of rules for Soccer. All 17 Laws can be visited anytime at https://www.theifab.com/ NSYSA utilizes age-level modifications to some of these laws for Small-Sided and Full-Sided Rec. and Comp. play. (e.g. number of players, field size, and size of game balls dependent on age of play). Per IFAB "Any approved changes to the Laws of the Game will become mandatory from 1 July 2022; competitions starting before that date will have the option of implementing them earlier." (Translation: ONLY if you have a summer tourney starting on Thursday, June 30, do you need to worry about '22-'23 modifications to the Laws of the Game possibly changing in the middle of your tournament on July 1!) Once recommendations are received from WYS, NSYSA will approve rules of play for fall Small-Sided and Full-Sided Recreational play. These should come out in advance of teams getting ready for the September 10 kick-off of the Fall 2022 season!

Can We Improve the Culture of Sports?
Posted: Saturday July 31st, 2021 Expires: 12/31/2024
![]() | As we lace up cleats and blow-up balls for another season of soccer, let's everyone — coaches, referees, players, administrators and parents — undertake the ultimate (personal) responsibility for improving the culture of youth sports. The key lies in the rules. Our kids deserve a healthy culture of mutual respect and camaraderie led by adults able to model the ideals of competition and sportsmanship. Paradigm-shifting change is never easy. For example, when heading was eliminated and the fall-back line was added for U11 and below play, the initial reaction was much wailing and outrage. Yet, because the goal was clear and necessary, the change happened, and it has reduced incidents of serious injury as well as improved the development nature of the small-sided game. Productive change is always possible, especially to address a crisis — like the referee shortage - it starts with EVERYONE doing their part.
Thank you for your continuing cooperation with NSYSA on this journey.
