[ayso45-refs] Region 45 policy for goal guarding in U7

[Taylor, Paul]

Hi, I  was referee at a game on Saturday where one of the teams posted a player in front of the goal the whole game like a golie that can't use his hands.  In fact there were times when I noticed that the player was lying on the ground inside the goal acting a little bored.

I suggested to the coach that he should pull the player up a bit since he was rarely involved in the game, but didn't really know what the policy in our region. I was basically ignored and it continued throughout the game.  I was told by a few people that this violated the spirit of the rules but I didn't know of anything concrete so I didn't do anything about it.

Any suggestions on that, or should we even care.

Regards,

Paul
