Good Evening,

I am so happy to see the weather was able to hold off until the last set of games this past weekend. Only a select few of the matches were suspended and will be rescheduled and multiple others concluded with the score they had due to thunderstorm policies.

We are looking for feedback on our newsletters. Use the form below to take a minute and let us know what you think.

Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

Yours in partnership,

We had a total of 18 Sportsmanship Feedback submissions from coaches this past weekend. 17 of the reports were positive and 1 of them was negative for our Sportsmanship Review Committee (SRC) to assess.

We had more than 35 Referee Feedback submissions from the coaches this past weekend. The NVYSL Referee Director reviews the feedback then sends to local assignors.

We had a total of 2 actionable referee reports for the SRC.

The SRC has assessed the 3 negative reports obtained from the website and referees, and has taken the following actions:
Letters Sent: 3
Hearings: 0

• Abide by zero tolerance policy for coaches, spectators, and players. DO NOT engage with the referees.
  
• Do not address players/spectators of opposing team.
• Remember to show that we respect and appreciate the game and one another when, win or lose, we end a match with a gracious handshake.

There are currently no reports of any field closures/updates.

All across NVYSL have risen some referee pool concerns. A lot of our referees are high-schoolers and due to MIAA scheduling games on Saturdays, it decreases the amount of referees we have. Remember to keep in contact with your referee assignor to make sure you have a referee for the match, if not, reach out to your opposing coach, and NVYSL grade director for possible solutions.

Did you know it is very easy to communicate with the opposing coaches on our website? Head to the NVYSL schedule, find your team, and click the mail button next to the coaches name who you are trying to contact.
