New Substitution Rule U15 +
Old news but any new input?
Effective July 1, 2009
Effective July 1, 2009
[b][b]VI. CLASSIC LEAGUE PLAY N. Substitutions. 1. Number of Substitutions and Re-entry a. U11-U14. The FIFA Rules that (a) limit the number of potential substitutes; or, (b) prohibit a player from returning to the game after he has been substituted for, do not apply for age groups U11-U14, and up to 7 potential substitutes (5 in U11 through U13, 7 in U14) may be designated. Players that have been substituted for may return to the game as an additional substitute for any player on the field at the times set forth below b. U15-U19. The Classic League limits the number of substitutions in all Classic League Challenge and League games to seven (7) per half, with no re-entry for field players during the half in which they were substituted. Goalkeepers are allowed one (1) re-entry in each half of play, provided the substitution is within the limit of seven (7) total substitutions for that half; and, the goalkeeper re-enters in the goalkeeper position. 2. Timing of Substitutions. ยท a. U11-U14. With the permission of the referee, substitutions are allowed: (a) at a throw-in by the team in possession; (b) at a throw-in by the team not in possession so long as the team in possession is also making a substitution; (c) by either team at a goal kick; (d) by either team after a goal is scored; (e) by either team when the referee has stopped play due to an injury; (f) at the beginning of the second half of play; and, (g) when a caution (yellow card) is given (that player may be substituted for). b. U15-U19. Substitutions are allowed with the permission of the referee at all stoppages of play |

Re: New Substitution Rule U15 +
Whats new to say. It sucked when they put it in, it will suck when it is enforced. Do we get a fourth official to track subs? or are we just going to waste time waiting for refs to record substitutions ? What was supposedly to get more toime for subs "because they can't be resubbed by starters" will kill play time and subsequent development of most bench players. STUPID rule. Too much subbing at the end of the match ? Very simple, rule 2a " with permission of the referee". If the coach plays that game then the ref simply tells him at the next request to sub to make all you have now because this is the last one I am allowing.

Re: New Substitution Rule U15 +
The Classic League is trying to prepare its players for a higher level of competition. They are mirroring rules used by many other competitions around the country. Soccer, at the top level, is a game meant to be played with limited subs. For those who want to play soccer with more frequent subs, there are many more developmental leagues at a lower level of competition that allow free substitutions. It is a choice that more players/families will make once they become more familiar with the implications on how much time players get in games.
The following competitions play this same rule:
USYSA National Championship tournament
USYSA National League
USSF Super-Y League
NCAA plays the same rule with a modification that players may re-enter once in second half.
The ODP Regional and National Championships and USSF Academy competitions allow 7 subs with no re-entry for the game.
Most of these competitions use player cards handed to the AR each half when players sub in so that play entry onto the field is tracked. Cards are returned to the coach for use in the second half. I have not seen any indication of how the Classic League intends to implement this rule.

Re: New Substitution Rule U15 +
Classic is a very good league but it is not any of the ones you quote. At U15 there are many developing players that will blow by the studs of the U15, 16 and 17 days when they mature. Ex. Michael Jordan got cut from JV basketball. These younger in age group or late developers should not have to go to Plano or Arlington because they are not able to go a full game. When kids are in growth spurts many times their knees or feet won't take that kind of pounding.Your talking about 14 year old kids. Implement it at u17 and up when the players are juniors and seniors, not when most are just going into freshmen year. Plus give it a year or two of clubs not being able to get more than 14 or 15 players signed. Who is going to pay the huge amounts that is select in NT to play in a league that is actively limiting development of bench players. We will see if the clubs that pushed this like eating the dues of 3 or 4 unfilled slots.

Re: New Substitution Rule U15 +
I'm not sure this helps the big clubs, or at least the top teams. They make money by keeping their rosters at the maximum allowed levels.
Players who do not get as much playing time because of this rule may decide to drop down a level of play and find a team where they can get more playing time.
If this happens it might reduce the number of times that you will see a DII or DIII team with 7 subs on the bench.

Re: New Substitution Rule U15 +
Then implement this rule in D1 only. According to the elitists, that is the only place where players exist who will advance. Let the other division continue to work on development and enjoy playing competitively. This rule hurts players more than it helps. The only players who will have an advantage are the bottom of the starting line up, as they will get a bit more playing time.south wrote:I'm not sure this helps the big clubs, or at least the top teams.

This will also create more contention between the parents of the bench players and the coach. Why in the hell would I pay to have my son ride the pine.

Re: New Substitution Rule U15 +
It was not a railroad job. Horst sent out the proposal at least 3 weeks in advance of the coaches' meeting.
DOCs had plenty of time to discuss with their coaches. I know that the club I was affiliated with did this.
All coaches were invited. Many chose not to attend. The proposal was discussed and voted on and accepted by the coaches. It was then forwarded to the Classic League as a proposal. Then the league board, with all of the factions involved there, decided to adopt this as a new league rule.
So, whether we like the rule or not, it was adopted with full openness within the coaches' committee and the league.
If parents don't like it, they should pass on their concerns to the coaches or to the league itself so that the rule can be reviewed after the season.

Most coaches love the new rule. They just tell the parents they hate it!

Re: New Substitution Rule U15 +
Not according to many of the coaches as well as referees I have spoken to. How are injuries handled? Having the ability to put in extra defenders or extra strikers on set pieces will be difficult. Why have a rule in place without consequences? Playing time doesn't concern me but it will lead to higher turnover within teams.south wrote:It was not a railroad job.

As far as how it was done? How many coaches were at the meeting? What was the count? Horst wanted this and his typical fashion got what he wanted. The board did approve this but in the last 20 years have they ever not approved a rule that came out of the coaches committee? This was more important then reevaluating the clubs keeping their byes with 0 returning players??

Re: New Substitution Rule U15 +
Honestly, I'm not sure I understand why there would be so much uproar about this. With an 18 player roster, seven subs per half means that everyone could play in each half, if that's what the coach wanted to do. He just can't keep them rotating them in and out like there was a revolving door at the bench. If the kids get winded after 15 minutes, then the problem is conditioning. And I don't agree with the freedom to bring players in for set pieces either.
Our team has been more-or-less following the U15+ substitution rules for years, and generally everyone plays, and we're not even at U15 yet.

As far as how it was done? How many coaches were at the meeting? What was the count? Horst wanted this and his typical fashion got what he wanted. The board did approve this but in the last 20 years have they ever not approved a rule that came out of the coaches committee? This was more important then reevaluating the clubs keeping their byes with 0 returning players??

Re: New Substitution Rule U15 +
Huh? The refs had no say in this...nor do they even know how it is going to be implemented, as the league hasn't told them yet. There has been talk on procedures, but nothing announced. [/quote]happyfeet wrote:

If no procedures have been announced, why are you worried about it? This isn't a bad rule. I don't know if it's a needed rule, but it's not a bad rule. Without seeing any details, the only reason I can think of that people would be upset is if their kids playing time might be affected. That may be true. If it is, maybe they should consider dropping down a division.... or two.Unless they are coaches as well....exactly waiting any day now
Then, maybe with less game time, they work harder in practice to gain more playing time. Competition among teammates is actually more important for development than games.

Re: New Substitution Rule U15 +
As a referee this has been discussed and the annual Classic League referee meeting. We were given directions on how this will be handled. It will be a pretty simple process and will not add more time to a normal sub.

So what will be the process and more important, what if someone does re-enter a game?scref wrote:As a referee this has been discussed and the annual Classic League referee meeting.

Re: New Substitution Rule U15 +
The process will be the coaches are to have cards for the players that will be handed to AR1 (the AR that is on the side of the coaches) and will be kept till half time, if the player doesn't have a card they can not enter the game. At half time the cards will be returned to coach.
It is up to the referee to make sure that a player does not re-enter the game in the same half. The only exception is if the keeper gets hurt and must come off the field a keeper can be subbed for him that doesn't count against the 7 subs (or number of players) for the half. If the injured keeper re-enters the game they must do so as the keeper of it will be considered a sub.
Make sense?
