Quite honestly, not much new to report on National Federation rule changes for 2006-07, but a couple notes to NFHS and SCHSL policy:
***Deadline to report qualifiers is April 27, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. -- no games on/or after April 27.
***JV matches end after regulation time in a TIE -- no overtime is to be played for JV matches.
***Shinguards must meet NOCSAE specifications -- each shinguard should have a NOCSAE approved sticker! (This essentially means we all have to go buy new shinguards with the appropriate sticker -- I'd like the cut the NFHS is getting off this
). All shinguards are to be worn 2" above the ankle and must cover the shin -- not the calf or side of the leg.
***SCHSL's Bruce Hulion will now handle all ejections for all sports -- including soccer. This was a duty formerly conducted by Roger Hazel.
***All other information is available in the SCHSL Handbook and Constitution at
SCHSL.
As for other business at the Summer Clinic:
***Thanks to those coaches that attended the sessions!
***Troy Bennage of Academic Magnet was elected Vice-President of the SCHSSCA and will assume the President's role next summer.
***Coach Eric Terrill, women's head coach at Charleston Southern University, presented a variety of soccer topics (warmup, training drills, recruiting, etc.) to the coaches in attendance. Special thanks to CSU players Karen Knight and Briana Murphy who assisted Coach Terrill.
