Zero Tolerance Policy for Referee Abuse
The development of youth referees is as important to soccer as the development of youth players. Verbal abuse directed towards game officials has become a significant issue over the past few years and the drop-out rate for young referees is alarming. Please take the time to download and read these GTYSC policies and notes. These two handouts were distributed to all house league parents. The first is our policy on referee abuse; the second is a note primarily for team officials regarding referee authority.   Click on "referee info." on the left.

To All Travel Coaches - Exhibition Games
If you are planning an exhibition game (regardless of the opponent, two Grimsby teams for instance), you must advise the NSA at least 24 hours in advance. This is an OSA and insurance requirement. If an exhibition game is not sanctioned by the NSA neither the players, coaches nor club are covered by insurance. Games played out of the Niagara District require a travel permit as well from the NSA. The NSA office is at 94 Dunkirk Rd., Unit 6 in St. Catharines - telephone 905-984-8411; fax 905-984-8422. To email the NSA, click here.
