Idaho Youth Soccer Sideline Rule
The Idaho Youth Soccer Association has a new sideline rule. Spectators are expected to sit on the same side of the field as their team. The team bench is placed on the half of the field where the assistant referee officiates. The spectators sit on the opposite side of the centerline. The team bench and spectators should not obstruct the area at the center of the field to allow for appropriate substitution of players during the game. The opposing team and spectators sit on the other side of the field. Teams and spectators should be diagonally located across from each other.
Zero Tolerance Referee Abuse Policy
Referees are a critical part of soccer, but it is important for parents, coaches, players, and spectators to understand that there isn't going to be a perfectly called game. Many games go without referees due to increasing abuse of officials which causes frustrations for everyone.
IYSA has adopted a Zero Tolerance policy in regards to spectators' interaction with referees. All PVSC teams, competitive or recreation, who have referees officiating games are expected to abide by this policy. The policy states it is not appropriate to tell the referee - call the game, keep the kids safe, call it both ways or to tell them the are a terrible referee or that you are going to file a complaint.
Offenses to this police could lead to AN INDIVIDUAL OR SIDELINE BEING DISMISSED FROM WATCHING GAMES.
