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

[Neil Tuch]

This issue has persisted over several years - maybe we should just be very, very clear to the coaches and all refs that at this level there should be no goalies or anyone acting in a similar capacity - both for their development and to improve the overall game experience.

I've encountered the same in several U7 games. I've had only one opposing
team's coach complain about it but have been uncertain if this is the kind
of issue that should be elevated through the game comments section on the
game cards.

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
