New Interpretation of Law 11- Offiside

The VYSA Soccer Community is asked to read a memo from the State Referee Administrator Scott Meyer regarding the new interpretation of Law 11 on Offiside. This memo has been prepared so that all of us - parents, players, coaches, referees, and administrators - can be on the "same page" with regard to offside. Please click here for that memo.
