Hello Everyone,
The end of the Spring 2018 season is here. I hope you have had a great time and the players have finished happy and healthy.
Registration is open for the Fall 2018 season, the last day for registration is June 29th by noon. D
ue to the high number of teams expected we will not be able to take any late sign ups.
Please be sure to have your teams signed up in the correct age group.
Once registration is over, we will immediately begin seeding the teams. To expedite this process, please give us as much info as you can in the comments section. If your team has a new name or coach, please let us know who the old coach was or what the prior name was.
I know the gap between seasons seems to get shorter every year, but we at Heartland want to thank you for playing with us this Spring and hope that you have a fantastic summer with your families.
This obviously is a World Cup Year, so that soccer gap is even shorter. We wish the US were going to be in Russia but we still can't wait to watch some of the best players in the world, showcase their talents. Maybe one day it could be one of you out there!!

This Month in History: June
Pelé's Day in History: June 15th, 1975
Pelé set American television records on his first match after coming back from retirement. Over 10 million viewers tuned in to watch Pelé and the New York Cosmos take the field that sunny Sunday afternoon. In 1975, that was the most to tune in for a soccer game. His contract reportedly made him the world's best paid athlete at the time. Pelé's presence led to unprecedented interest in soccer in the US and catapulted the sport into the mainstream. The Cosmos regularly exceeded capacity crowds at Giants Stadium and large crowds elsewhere around the country when they visited numerous stadiums. The team was even forced to demand more security for Pelé after he was injured by swarming fans. "We had superstars in the United States but nothing at the level of Pele,"John O'Reilly, the Cosmos' media spokesman, told the Guardian. "Everyone wanted to touch him, shake his hand, and get a photo with him." Pelé is arguably one of the greatest players in the history of Soccer.

The Referee Blog
What makes a successful season at Heartland?
The 8:00 AM games were cancelled because of lightning. The 9:15 AM games were played in a light rain. By 11:00 AM the sun peaked through the clouds. The last games of the day were played under threatening skies. The irony - this was a Rain out weekend at Heartland.
Spring soccer in Kansas has weather challenges. While a warm and sunny weekend in May feels wonderful - weather is not how we determine what makes a successful season. This past weekend I asked a coach of an under-10 team how his season went. His response, "
We didn't win very much, but the players kept getting better every weekend!"
This was the best answer of defining what it takes to have a successful season. Some teams win. Some teams lose. In the end the players getting better is the litmus test of what makes a successful season.
The Heartland Referee Development Program measures a successful season the same. Are your Referees doing a better job of executing the basic skills of the job?
What are the basic skills we focus on with your young Referees?
-
Appearance:
We stress that being a Referee at Heartland is a job (they are getting paid). The first and basic requirement is to look like a Referee. We don't always get the results that we expect. I am sure you can point out Referees in your matches that don't have socks or have them pulled up, that don't have Referee shorts or are wearing white shoes. As you look back, I would be willing to predict that this was not the norm. Your Referees looked the part. Why, because they take their job seriously and want to learn and get better.
-
Hustle:
I saw a large number of our Assistant Referees following the ball all the way to the goal line before making decisions on Goals, Goal Kicks or Corner Kicks. That is what we ask them to do. During the Kansas City Invitational tournament there was a play on the goal line where one coach was shouting that the goalie carried the ball into the goal and wanted a goal to be awarded. The Referee looked at the Assistant Referee who was on the goal line. The decision: No goal. They were doing their job. Sometimes you will have a Referee that doesn't want to leave the Center Circle (not what they are taught). What do you do in this situation? Ask your coach to talk to us so that we can correct the situation. If the Referee won't listen, they won't get assigned.
-
Calling fouls:
This is the hardest skill to teach. If the Referee calls a foul what kind of reaction do they get from the sidelines? Sometimes everyone agrees. During the Kansas City Invitational tournament I sat at the midfield in one of the Championship games (Under 9). It was an experience. One side wanted the Referee to let them play. The other side wanted cards for the same conduct. What we teach the Referees is to know the Laws of the Game and to use these Laws to make their decisions. When you have bigger and smaller players making contact, it is not an easy decision to make. We know that our Referees are trying when they blow the whistle. And, yes, we want them to blow the whistle louder (this shows confidence). When you have a Referee that has a strong whistle what does that mean? They have been doing this for a while. These are the Referees you want and the ones we want to provide to you. Remember, everyone must start with their first game.
These are the same skills we expect on the big fields also. More experienced Referees use the same Laws. The players make the difference because they can do more (they get better every weekend over many years).
Think back over the season. Did you see improvements in the  officiating as the season progressed? If you did, it is because the young Referees, like your players committed to work harder to become more effective. No one, players or Referees, is perfect. But success is learning from our mistakes. This we share this season and every season.
Thank you for letting us be your Referees over the past season.

Health Tip:
Youth Sports Injuries
You're in the stands cheering. There's a whistle - and it's your son or daughter on the ground or court surrounded by concerned-looking coaches and teammates. You start breathing again when you see your child stand up, wave to you and seemingly take the blow in stride. No broken bones. No sign of limping. It doesn't look like it was a serious knock ... this time. But you're worried, aren't you?
Each year, approximately 46.6 million U.S. children play a team sport, and sports-related injuries send an estimated 12 million young athletes between the ages of 5 and 22 to the emergency room. The largest number, 37 percent, are from ages 13 to 15.
Orthopedic Injuries
Over 230,000 athletes are treated each year in emergency rooms for soccer-related injuries. Sprains and strains, often around the knee or ankle, are very common. Player collisions can cause a wide range of injuries and overuse injuries such as Achilles tendinitis and shin splints are common complaints as well. Remember, even though your young athlete may play through many of the symptoms and didn't have an initial injury significant enough to rush them to the ER immediately, it can still take several hours for the bruising, swelling and pain of an orthopedic injury to develop.
If the injury is minor, you can treat it at home with Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation (RICE) for the first 48 hours. For pain relief, offer a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like ibuprofen or naproxen. Never give aspirin to anyone under age 20 due to the risk of Reye syndrome, a rare but serious disease that targets the brain and liver.
If an injury occurs, participation should be stopped immediately until the injury is evaluated and treated properly. Overuse injuries can often be treated with a short period of rest. Pushing through pain can be harmful and lead to further downtime. It is recommended that athletes take at least one season off per year from competitive sport to minimize the risk of overuse.
There are ways to decrease your risk of injury.
Never participate in sporting activity if your body is not 100%.
- Maintain good physical condition and always take time to warm up and stretch before activity.
- Following activity also take the time to cool down.
- Most importantly, always remain hydrated.
- Utilize appropriate protective equipment such as shin guards and wear shoes with molded cleats or ribbed soles.
- Screw in cleats are often associated with a higher risk of injury.
- Try to avoid poor field conditions that can increase injury rates.
- Don't hesitate to head to the emergency room if the injury causes severe pain, swelling or numbness or the injured area feels unstable or cannot bear any weight or pressure.

Papa J
ohn's Heartland Referee Spotlight:
Q&A with Nikhil Mathur
When did you start reffing?
I started reffing at the beginning of the fall 2015 season, when I was in 7th grade.
What made you decide to get certified to referee?
I had been around the sport for around 7 years, and I wanted to get more involved. I had also admired the work of my referees, and when my friends told me I could do it too, I jumped at the opportunity.
What is your favorite part about reffing?
I love being able to watch so many games and witness so many amazing moments. I have seen some amazing goals, saves, and moments of sportsmanship as a referee, and I love the game even more now.
What is a life lesson you feel you have learned from reffing?
As a referee, I have never had a perfect game, and I never will. I think that one of the most important things you have to accept as a referee is that you will make mistakes and that people will get upset, but that you have to move on. I have beaten myself up for bad calls in the past, but it doesn't solve anything. You have to learn from your mistakes and always work to improve your game.
What level of referee to you aspire to be?
Ideally, I would like to get my Grade 7 certification before I graduate high school. I don't know if I will be able to pursue refereeing in college and beyond that, so earning my Grade 7 would be a nice way to finish off my time as a youth referee.
Do you play soccer?
I used to play soccer for an independent OPSC club, and I played high school soccer at Blue Valley Northwest my freshman year. However, I have since stopped playing to focus more of my time and effort on advancing as a referee.
I played soccer since around first grade until freshman year of high school.
Do you participate in any sports/activities/clubs/ youth groups/ community service?
I am a Boy Scout and soon-to-be Eagle Scout, which I have participated in for the past five years. I am also involved in various activities in school, such as DECA, which is a business-related club that builds public-speaking and creative thinking abilities. I also participate in my school's theater program as a member of the production crew, usually running lights or sound for our schools' plays and musical productions. I am a member of the school's marching band, which is the activity that I enjoy the most as I love making music and performing at football games. I will serve as Drum Major to the band over the course of the next two years.
What was the last book you read?
The last book I read was
The Martian
, the fictional story of an American astronaut, Mark Watney, who gets left behind by his crew on Mars. He is low on supplies, and the odds are stacked against him, but he manages to pull through and gets rescued in the end. My favorite part of the book is when Mark is finally able to communicate with NASA because it is the first sign of hope that he has.
What is your favorite sports team?
My favorite sports team is Arsenal FC.

The Referee Corner
Match Officials and Youth Soccer Coaches and Parents - Respect for the Game
The thoughts in this article came from an Article published by the Seattle Soccer
Association in 2012. It applies to us at Heartland today.
You love soccer, right? Imagine a game WITHOUT officials. Not a pretty picture. That is why we must work on having
RESPECT
for each other (Referees to the players and players to the officials).
Referees are certified in the classroom and once they take the field they never stop developing their skills as arbiters of what is fair and safe. There has never been a game of soccer where a match official didn't make a mistake. For Referees, like coaches and players, much of the learning experience is based upon looking back at decisions and stepping through the thought process to evaluate how things might have been done differently. This approach is used by both the novice and the expert - MLS referees are assessed and mentored on every game and even under the extremely demanding conditions they work in are able to self-assess throughout a game. Heartland Mentors observe some of our Referees every weekend. Our Monthly Meetings review good and not so good performances and expose best practices. And, we have a formal "Self-evaluation" form too.
Referees are trained to approach the game from a player's and fan's perspective and to intervene to the least degree possible. Based upon the level of play and the attitude of the participants, more experienced officials may well vary the degree to which foul play is tolerated and, with the exception of fouls that are clearly tactical or made without regard for the safety of an opponent, the referee may opt to not call fouls considered to be 'trifling' or to allow play to continue if they
see the fouled team able to keep the advantage in play. These approaches may seem like inconsistency to the spectator and lead to a sense of frustration - 'the ref last week called that every time' is a common remark, but it is key that coaches, players and spectators grasp that match officials are allowed complete discretion in the decisions they take.
As a coach or parent, if you model irresponsible behavior towards game officials, however unwittingly, your players will follow. The consequences of such behavior for you are limited to embarrassment and perhaps expulsion from games if the match officials decide you are behaving irresponsibly, but for your players they are much more far-reaching.
In the context of their day-to-day soccer experience players will lose focus on their game as they start to follow your questioning of the referee's calls. Slowly but surely, they will become demoralized as the idea that officials unfairly influence the outcomes of games becomes ever more firmly seated in their minds. As they become young adults they will start to verbally question official's calls and this will lead to cautions for dissent and then send-offs for foul and abusive language. The fun of playing becomes secondary.
In the context of influencing the athlete's outlook towards authority, and their basic understanding of dealing with conflict, irresponsible behavior towards match officials lays the groundwork for a lifetime of frustration. Players see you question officials and they question their teachers, they see you bullying officials and they figure they'll carry some of that behavior into recess.
In the context of the USSF Referees Program and in our case at Heartland such behavior completely undermines our efforts to grow a body of experienced and knowledgeable match officials. To reach the top levels of officiating is very hard to do and requires that we start educating and mentoring referees from an early age. A frighteningly large percentage of referees (of all ages, but particularly younger referees) quit after a couple of seasons because of the abuse they suffer. This damage to the greater goal is rarely appreciated by participants in youth soccer until they show up for a really important game and there is only one official instead of three, or a new official instead of an experienced one.
I thank you in advance for your collaboration!

The Coaches Corner:
This month's session is from Tactical Practices of the Pros
Diagram 60
2 v 2 to Goal with a Neutral Player
Two games of 2 v 2 are played on the same field with one neutral player available to assist the team in possession. When a team is in possession, they can use the neutral player to assist them in penetrating the defense. Also, look to create openings using combinations and beating a defender 1 v 1.
