Recreation Coaches,

I currently have two coaching education sessions scheduled for February, but I need to know how many coaches are planning to attend.  On the right hand side of the recreation blog there is a poll question.  Please take a moment and indicate whether you will be attending any of the sessions.  Also, you can email me at bryanf@caslemail.com .  If I do not get at least 12 coaches for a particular session, I will need to cancel and reschedule.

I have updated the links in the rules and policies section as it relates to the 4v4 and 6v6 playing formats.  If you are the coach in the U7 through U10 age groups, please read and be familiar with the rules for your particular playing format.

One new and final change of note relates to the 4v4 rules and is reflected in the document posted on the recreation blog and on the CASL website.

• All fouls that occur in the 4v4 playing format will be indirect, so no more direct kicks.  Much of the reason for this final change is that all fouls in the 6v6 playing format are indirect, so it makes the most sense to get coaches and players conditioned to only indirect kicks starting at 4v4.
