Mandeville Soccer Club

MSC is proud to announce the formation of the “Juggling Club”.  This program is designed to inject a little excitement and incentive into the art of juggling a soccer ball.  Of course we’re not talking about traditional juggling here,  all juggling must be done by body parts other than the hands or arms.  We want to encourage and challenge our players at every level to make juggling a habit because it helps:

1. Players set and achieve personal goals.
2. Players develop better overall ball control skills.
3. Players learn to use other body parts other than the dominant foot.
4. Players develop quicker reaction speed and ball movement.

Levels:

• Platinum Level - Complete “Around the US” skill challenge for age group and complete 700 consecutive juggles.
• Gold Level - Complete “Around the US” skill challenge for age group and complete 500 consecutive juggles.
• Silver Level - Complete “Around the US” skill challenge or Complete 300 consecutive juggles.
• Bronze Level - For players U10 and above.  Complete 100 consecutive juggles for Premier or 50 consecutive juggles for Rec and D1.
• Junior Level - For players U9 and below.  Complete 25 consecutive juggles.

• Gold Level - Name on Website and Free Practice shirt with accomplishment on back.
• Silver Level - Name on Website
• Bronze Level - Name on Website

Process:

• All “Around the US” Skills Challenge sheets must be signed by your team’s coach.

• When you have complete a consecutive juggling level, please have your coach, manager, or board member send an email to the office indicating how many juggles you have successfully completed.
• Feel free to submit a video of an MSC player in action.  It may just be featured on our site!  For more info on how to submit a video contact Heath Jones

NEW SUBSTITUTION RULES!!

Effective Jan 1, LSA has changed substitution rules. The reason for the change was to comply with Region 3 rules. These rules will be the same as most of the states in the region use, as well as Regionals, RPL, etc.

The new rule: (straight form LSA policy)

Substitutions shall be unlimited, however the 50% play rule shall be followed for Recreational teams. Substitutions may be made with the consent of the referee, at the following times:

1. Prior to a throw-in in your favor.

2. Prior to a goal kick by either team.

3. After a goal by either team.

4. After an injury by either team when the referee stops play.

5. At half time.

6. When the referee stops play to caution a player, only the cautioned player may be substituted prior to the restart of the game.

This rule will be required to be followed for all Premier League games, Premier friendlies, State Cups, and any state sanctioned tournament. With regard to Recreational and Division 1 games, the recently passed substitution policy is mandatory only for D1 State Cup games and Invitational tournaments, unless an exception has been approved by LSA. It is not mandatory for in-house league games, inter-club league games (e.g., Metro League) or friendly games involving D1 and/or Rec. teams.
