    Heading rule

    I know I've read the heading rule for u12 on here before. I'm sorry to be redundant. But, I thought the rule allowed heading after Jan. 1st. Is this correct? If yes, then why are the refs still calling a foul at my child's tournament this weekend?

    Tournaments can have their own rules. Also, if the team is not all 05's then they can't head

      This is another blunder by Strickler. Rules are all half ass and put in place with no notice. The guy is a joke

        Does anyone know if the U12 President's Cup and Commissioner's Cup will allow heading or not? I can't seem to find that in their rules.

          Found this.

          FYSA has eliminated heading in matches for player’s age 10-years-old and younger (2006-11u and younger), per the new calendar year registration guidelines. 2005-12U teams will participate in non-heading divisions until December 31, 2016, and then heading divisions shall be permitted Jan 1, 2017.

          The guidelines apply to leagues, tournaments, and other FYSA sanctioned events that include 2006-11u and younger age group teams (2005-12U in 2016) heading will not be permitted.

          Leagues and tournaments shall allow for 2005-12u heading age divisions after January 1, 2017. Leagues and tournaments will be permitted to form 2005/2006-12u non-heading divisions. (see playing up guidelines)

          Teams that opt for 2005-2006-12u non-heading divisions shall only participate in non-heading divisions in league play, tournaments, and all events. Sanctions will be made against teams that do not follow this guideline.

            So, I heard about this from a game this weekend. U9 game - Ball is played into the box toward the goal and right at a defender's head. The defender raises his arms to keep the ball from hitting him in the head/face. The attacking team is awarded a PK. If the no heading rule is in place to protect the player's head, shouldn't the player be able to protect his head. Is he supposed to just move and let the ball go into the goal?

              From the Commissioners Cup (Region B) Rules:

              B. Heading in Non Heading Division 11u and 12u
              1. If a player deliberately heads the ball in a game, an indirect free kick should be awarded to the opposing team from the spot of the offense.
              2. If the deliberate header occurs within the goal area, the indirect free kick should be taken on the goal area line parallel to the goal line at the nearest point to where the infringement occurred

              Nothing in Presidents Cup Rules

                Would be nice if they told the referees that after Jan 1st kids are allowed to head the ball again! Referee kept calling fouls everytime they head the ball and our coach is screaming at the referee telling him they can head the ball now check the rules!

                  Each league or tournament sets own rules as long as they do not violate FYSA rules. FYSA says you can have heading divisions after Jan 1 and encourages heading divisions. Tourneys and leagues can still choose to not allow heading. 10 year olds playing on holder teams cannot participate in heading divisions.

                    Are they an all age appropriate 05 team? Is it an all age appropriate division or are 06's playing up making it a NON-heading bracket?

                      Actually you're making yourself look like a joke. BOD makes the policy/rules, staff implements those rules. If you don't know at this point- the rule was the result of a settlement - so blame the attorneys.
