- Never, ever yell at the referees.
- If you're even going to frown at the referees, you should
know the rules.
- If you're going to be a referee, you should know the
rules better than anyone else on the field.
So without further ado, here are the laws of the game. (Tambien en Espaņol) If you're still confused after
reading them, try reading FIFA's Questions and Answers to the Laws of the Game.
Too complicated? Try The
Rules of Soccer: Simplified. Finally, if you're that much
into the rules, shouldn't you consider becoming a referee?
The Rules of AYSO
In addition to playing under FIFA rules, AYSO games are conducted
according to AYSO Rules and Regulations.
AYSO is a
national organization. Redwood City is "Region 1"
of Area 2N
in Section 2
of the United States.
Team banners give your team an identity and add to your team spirit.
On artificial turf fields, such as Bechet or Hoover fields, you cannot use stakes to hold up the banners. Stands that do
not penetrate the field must be used. Banner stands have been purchased for 49er field which is used by U10
and will be available to attach your banner to. See
Zaavy's Banner Stand to see what is being provided.
Other teams have made stands out of PVC pipe.
Team banners are most enjoyed when they are made by the team
itself. However, given that this is Silicon Valley and no
one has any time, commercial banners are also available from:

Most soccer equipment (balls, shinguards, cleats) can be
purchased at any local sporting goods store. Be sure to get
soccer cleats as baseball cleats are not
acceptable.
 The
AYSO Store
is an official supplier to AYSO Regions, players, coaches, and
referees. Part of the proceeds go back into AYSO for our
programs.
Another very comprehensive online store for all kinds of
soccer equipment is Eurosport, which you can find at www.soccer.com.
Referee equipment is available from Refwear.com.

AYSO is the biggest user of Redwood City's playing
fields. We are fortunate that Redwood City, unlike other
peninsula cities, does not charge a usage fee for the fields.
Redwood City is also in the midst of major upgrades to the
playing fields. For more information, please visit the Parks,
Recreation, and Community Services site.
