This Month in History:


8 December 2004 - The Curtains Close On Two Careers

On 8 December 2004, Mia Hamm and Julie Foudy ended their national team careers with a 5-0 victory over Mexico.


Played before a crowd of 15,549 in Carson, California, the match was the last of a 10-game "Fan Celebration Tour" scheduled in honor of the team's victory in the 2004 Women's World Cup. It was the 271st appearance for Foudy, who had captained the team since 1991 (she was a co-captain from 1991 to 2000), and the 275th appearance for Hamm, a number exceeded only by teammate Kristine Lilly (currently at 352 caps and counting). Hamm, however, retired as the national team's all-time leading goal-scorer with a total of 158.


Though Hamm did not add to her tally against Mexico, she provided assists for the first two goals, scored by Aly Wagner and Abby Wambach. They each completed a brace as the hosts went up 4-0 by the break before winning 5-0.


Their retirement, along with that of teammate Joy Fawcett, who was unable to play due to injury, ended a dominant period for US football in which the women's national team won two World Cups and two Olympic gold medals.

HALF FIELD 5V5


This practice develops attacking and defending in big spaces.


Set up

Using a full size pitch.

Each team has a goalkeeper, four defenders and one midfielder in the defensive half of the pitch.

Each team has two midfielders and three forwards in the attacking half of the pitch.

To start, the coach passes into the blue forwards who attack to score in the red team’s goal. If the ball is regained by the red team, they are ”free” to build up unopposed to pass to their forwards inside the blue’s half.

If the ball leaves the pitch or a goal is scored, the new ball is played by the coach into the opposite half of the pitch.

All players are locked in – so cannot join the other half of the pitch.


Rules

Progress by making the defenders play out against live possession (opposed) when regaining the ball

Progress by relaxing the rules on being locked into the half.

Now one or both full backs can go to join their team’s attack.

This will create an overload when attacking, but the teams will need to pay close attention to the balance

and shape behind the attack (inside their own half).

Three Jar Allowance for Kids


The Three Jar System is a popular way to begin teaching children how to

budget. With this system, you give your child three clear jars, each representing a different fund: spending, saving, and giving. The child will then divide their money into the jars with your guidance. Budgeting their money in

this way teaches children to actively plan for their current and future wants.


Encourage your child to stick to their budget. If they fall short in one category,

the goal is to help the child modify their behavior or budget instead of pulling

from another jar. For example, if your child would like to spend more money than they have in the spending jar, they should re-prioritize their wants, earn more money, or rethink their budget instead of pulling from the saving or giving jars.


The Saving Jar

The Saving Jar teaches kids to set and work toward goals. This shouldn’t be

money put away for a nebulous purpose. It should be specific. Does your child

want to save up for a new game? Or perhaps a certain toy? Help your child determine what they want and then, every time they go to separate their money into their jars, remind them that the more money they’re willing to give up now, the sooner they can reach this goal. It could help to create a general “rule” with your child, like 30% of their money

should always go to savings or for every $2 in the spending jar, one should go to saving-however you and your child decide to prioritize and divide the money is fine. The goal is to impart the importance of saving and begin building the habit.


The Spending Jar

The Spending Jar is all about what kids want to buy now. This is how they finance little things like candy bars or trinkets at the grocery store. This budget can also include budgeting for bigger things like clothing, school supplies, or even food if you decide to want your child to pay for some of those things themselves. Just remember that you need to give them an avenue to earn the

money to cover whatever you expect them to pay for.


The Giving Jar

The Giving Jar encourages children to think about others. Help them choose a cause that’s important to them, perhaps a charity that supports an animal they like or a Secret Santa fund for a family in your community. The giving jar can also go toward gifts for other people- a birthday gift for a friend, a thank you present for a teacher, etc. When it comes to donating the money they have saved, do your best to find a way to show them the impact of their generosity. Even a little goes a long way.

Referee Review

Place your Referee Kit Order Here Use Password HEARTLAND

Referee Corner: The Fall Referee education series was on the Referee Toolbox. What did they share? 


Law 5 states that each match is controlled by a Referee who has full authority to enforce the Laws of the Game in connection with the match.

It further states that decisions will be made to the best of the Referee’s ability according to the Laws of the Game and the ‘spirit of the game’ and will be based on the opinion of the Referee, who has the discretion to take appropriate action with the framework of the Laws of the Game.


And, decisions of the Referee regarding facts connected with play, including whether or not a goal is scored and the result of the match, are final. 


Certification and re-certification focus on the Laws of the Game. What is a foul? What are the appropriate restarts (Direct, Indirect, Dropped ball, etc.). What makes a foul careless, reckless, or endangering the safety of an opponent? There are many decisions officials make during a match. Making decisions, however, is just part of being an effective official. This Fall the Director of Referee Development led a continuing education series that dealt with the how as well as the what of being a soccer Referee.


The topics of the Referee toolbox:


  • Use of the Whistle: A major challenge for new Referees is confidence. This shows itself most vividly with the use of the whistle. New Referees do not blow the whistle loud enough. When we ask them how loud their whistle should be we get many answers. The correct answer should be loud enough to stop the play. As the Referees become more skilled and confident we ask them to change the tone to indicate the severity of the foul (louder for cautions, send offs and Penalty Kicks). As players, they understand the importance of whistle tone. As Referees, we want them to keep their player hats on.
  • Presence: The mantras are that “proximity controls player actions” and “presence lends conviction.” Again, confidence is at play. Is the Referee close enough to both see the play and to sell the call? Are the Referees working hard to be in this effective position? It is amazing when you ask the young Referees to respond to how they would react if a Referee called a foul from distance in matches where they are the players. Their response is that they would challenge decisions from distance. The Director of Referee Development highlighted the importance of presence in addition to understanding fouls and restarts. It is an important part of the Referee’s toolbox.
  • Non-verbal communication: For those who remember the famous “Colina stare” there is little to add to the importance of non-verbal communications. How you stand and how you show confidence is very apparent without even saying a word.
  • Verbal communications: When you do have to talk to a player, it is very important to understand the ramifications of both what you say and how you say it. Soccer is a very passionate sport. When players are being talked to, they will naturally defend themselves. Knowing how to change behavior with words is another important part of the Referee’s toolbox. The Director of Referee Development stressed that you praise them for good play and warn them for unfair play.


We will get back to explaining the intricacies of the Laws in the next edition of the Midfielder. Building the Referee pool is much more than reviewing and discussing the Laws of the Game. It is how to develop the skills that will help the players and the coaches accept your decisions and change their behavior. These are the skills that make Referees valuable employees and employers as adults.


Thank you Gordie Wetmore, the KSYS Director of Referee Development, for providing a curriculum this past Fall that helps our Referees become more effective in their job and better contributing members of society.


We have posted our next group of Entry Level Clinics at http://www.KansasReferee.org . Check out the schedule and consider joining the Kansas Referee family. Being a Referee keeps you close to the game we all love, helps you appreciate the role of the Referee in delivering FAIR and SAFE matches, and makes you an even more effective contributing member of society. 

It is the time to look back on 2024 and to look forward to 2025…


Yes, the Heartland soccer season for 2024 is into the winter season. Some will be playing in the Winter league and others will be playing Futsal. Now is a good time to look back at 2024 and reflect on what was accomplished during the 2024 season. It is also a time to give thanks for the accomplishments and the losses of the past year.


A record number of teams and matches were played at Heartland in 2024. For the Fall season (including tournaments) the number of matches played was 8,412. Heartland provided the opportunity for competition across all age groups.




  • Under 9 - 10:   622 matches
  • Under 11 - 12:  4,378 matches
  • Under 13 and above:  3,412 matches


When you look back at a season, there are three things that most of us will remember:

  • The fields: This is one of the advantages Heartland offers to its members and guest teams. The facilities are world class. Team representatives consistently reference the facilities as one of the reasons they come back.
  • The competition: During one of the end-of-season tournaments, 3 out of 4 of the matches on Fields 7 and 9 which were being played at the same time (on Sunday/Finals afternoon) were determined by Penalty Kick Shootouts. This is real competition.
  • The Refereeing: The first challenge is to staff each match with three officials. While Heartland does not always achieve this, it does a remarkable job for most matches. When you have three officials assigned, the next challenge is to have the officials work to deliver a FAIR and SAFE match. Whether or not the officials delivered an effective performance is sometimes a subjective opinion. Heartland and the Kansas Youth Soccer Association have invested in mentoring to provide in-game assistance to your officials.


Here are comments from an out-of-town coach from the HIT Boys Tournament

“I just wanted to compliment you on a wonderful tournament. The competition in our division was fair, the venues were great, and the tournament was well organized. I believe during one of our games, it was a little physical and the opposing coach was getting agitated and either the field marshal or another Sr. Ref. noticed this and came in to help assist and “coach” the head ref. I have never seen this before, but it was a welcome surprise and a good opportunity to learn and grow for the head ref. (Note: this was mentoring in action).


“ In reading your most recent newsletter and your recap. of a few incidents from the Tournament and how Heartland addressed those, learned from those, etc. that helped me, and certainly others, understand Heartlands process. It also tells the story and lets all your customers know that these issues are taken seriously and that you are constantly working to improve your process and the game.” 


Now that we are taking a break from the regular season, I wanted to introduce you to some of the behind-the-scenes people from the officiating teams so you can appreciate their contributions to making your matches SAFE and FAIR.


When you go to the Referee Room at Garmin, you will see portraits of Gordon Crape and Blaine Hougland. These are heroes of the behind-the-scenes contributors to the game of soccer in Kansas from the Referee team. While they are no longer with us, their contributions are present throughout the Referee community. Their commitments to helping the Referees deliver their part to the soccer community live on. The State Referee Committee has an Education Committee chaired by the State Director of Instruction. His team includes volunteers who put together the Certification and Recertification programs that keep your officials current with the changes in the Laws of the Game. It is a huge responsibility and when this group completes their jobs, the Referees learn and get the required certifications from US Soccer. The job was completed again this year in spite of personal challenges. One of the Education Committee lost her mother this year and had to organize services including family members from multiple states. Another member lost his father and then lost his father-in-law. Yes, they are doing their jobs for the game of soccer in the State of Kansas even though they faced tough times.


Another major group of behind-the-scenes contributors are the Field Marshals. In November, one of our tenured Field Marshals (also a Referee) passed away unexpectedly. A sad and serious loss for the behind-the-scenes group. Yes, everyone is grieving again but will continue to do what is necessary to deliver a memorable soccer experience for all who play at Heartland. In good times and not so good times it is all about teamwork and the love of the game and delivering the essentials so that others can play and enjoy the beautiful game we all love.


Giving the youth in the Midwest the opportunity to participate in the beautiful game is what drives each of us to contribute every season. In the Fall season 1,245 officials were paid to do matches at Heartland. These officials work hard to deliver a memorable product for us. Supporting the officials are the behind-the-scenes people. On behalf of all the officials and the people that support these officials, we wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas. 

See you in the Spring.

This month, we’re thrilled to spotlight one of our standout referees, Brynna, who began her journey on the pitch as a referee at just 13 years old. Combining a love for soccer with the desire to start working, she found the perfect balance in reffing, earning while staying connected to the sport she enjoys most.


When asked about Brynna's favorite part of officiating, she highlighted the sense of community. Beyond the game, refereeing has taught her valuable life lessons, such as how to handle adversity—a skill that will serve them on and off the field.


Currently playing for KC Fusion 08 Red and De Soto High School, Brynna has been passionate about soccer since the age of 4. Her goals as a referee include officiating higher-level matches, like State Cup games, and potentially stepping into high school reffing.

Outside of soccer, Brynna is preparing to join their school’s yearbook staff, enjoys hitting the gym, and spends free time exploring hobbies like art, reading, photography, and video games. A recent favorite read? The Great Gatsby, with its timeless lessons about ambition and self-discovery.


Her love for action and horror movies (shoutout to Twisters!) and enthusiasm for cheering on the Chiefs show their passion for all things exciting and competitive.


We’re proud to have dedicated and driven young referees like Brynna in our soccer family. Her commitment to the game and the community inspires us all!
