A Recap of Changes for 2016-17 • Major initiatives were handed down to all members of US Soccer regarding three primary areas… 1. Concussion & Heading Protocols 2. Birth Year Age Groups 3. Player Development Initiatives
1. HEADING & CONCUSSION INITIATIVE • Players 10 years old and younger are not allowed to head a ball in training or games • 11U and younger age divisions are not allowed to intentionally head a ball in games; result is IFK • 12U & 13U age divisions are allowed to intentionally head a ball in games, and 15-20 headers per player per week in trainings or 30 minutes maximum per week • Any players, in any age division, who are suspected to have sustained a concussion during a match must be removed from the game and are not allowed to return to play until they are cleared by a designated health care professional
2. BIRTH YEAR REGISTRATION • Age divisions for members of US Soccer will be organized according to player birth years • The focus of this initiative is to move away from the team and onto the individual players and their development • The change will help coaches, parents, and clubs understand the Relative Age Effect (RAE) of individual players compared to the group • Will be easier to identify players based on birth month within an age group to help distinguish developmentally appropriate training

PROPOSAL for FEE INCREASE Recreational Fall/Summer Players: $11 per player annually • No increases; Improve services to Recreational level players with the implementation of the Dakota Development League and Regional Tournaments Competitive Fall/Summer Players: $15 per player annually • Fee increase will help cover the cost of coaching education shortfalls for the population of coaches who are most likely to u se it to meet new proposed coaching education requirements Implementation of a development committee to help provide better competitive state environment (NSSL representation, Presiden ts Cup tournament, and ODP identification). Coaches Fee: $10 per coach annually • Allows us to start doing background checks on every coach in three year cycles more consistently than 1/100 randomly like we’ve been doing currently at $26 per check Predicted cost per Recreational Teams would only increase $10 based on Coach’s Registration. Predicted cost for Competitive Teams would increase from $198 to $280; still $73 less than our neighboring states. Referee Background Check Fee: $10 per referee would allow us to do a background check of every referee every 3 years • • Futsal Player Registration: $7 per player annually This fee reflects membership with U.S. Futsal and allows us to participate in hosting State Futsal Championships, and North C entral Regional Championships Qualification by state champions is automatic berth for Regional Championships and possible National Championship qualification Portion of fees will help pay for U.S. Futsal Coaching Education courses to be hosted in South Dakota Assist SRC in Futsal referee training and development by bringing in U.S. Futsal Certified Instructors (Referee Instructor’s Course in October already scheduled) • Festival Only Hosting: $100 per event Recreational Tournament Hosting: $200 per tournament • Select/Competitive Tournament Hosting: $300 per tournament • State starts providing more oversight and helps local associations with checks and balances for hosting
EXPANDING RECREATIONAL PROGRAMMING • Establish the Dakota Developmental League • Four Regional Recreation Tournaments as part of the Recreational State Tournament Series • Initiate a Recreational Player Satellite Camp program for members to utilize in developing local players and possibly as a local fundraising event • Regional Tournaments and Satellite Camps will allow Olympic Development Program coaching staff to identify talent in smaller associations at a local level to invite for the upcoming cycle
EXPANDING COMPETITIVE PROGRAMMING • Implementation of the Northern States Soccer League more consistent competition with less travel; and division champions can move on to Midwest Regional League • State Cup champions will represent South Dakota at the Region II President’s Cup • Qualifying teams will represent South Dakota at the US Youth Midwest Region Championships • US Futsal State Cup provides more opportunities to compete at a sport that SD has high participation in • Revised Dakota Olympic Development Program will help us to involve more kids at every step of the process
Setting Our Sites on 2020 • Moving towards a more professional and efficient SDSSA Staff and Board of Directors • Establishing a true Player Development Pathway from grassroots all the way to senior level playing • Putting an emphasis as a state on educating every traveling coach, and developing a culture of learning SDSSA • Meaningful state competitions at both the recreational and competitive levels that enhances the development of players
