2021 JUNIOR HANDBOOK GOAL POSTS Metal Junior Posts will be set up and fixed in place by DCC. Seniors can shift these after games if necessary. Permanently placed goalposts should never be moved. These are put in place by the Dunedin City Council, who should be contacted immediately if there are any safety concerns. Any person who shifts posts may be held liable should an accident occur. Guidelines for Affiliated clubs: 1.Check it: Make sure goalposts are in good condition and properly constructed. Clubs should make regular checks of goalposts and also document that these checks have taken place. 2. Secure it: Goalposts of any size must be securely anchored to the ground. Portable goalposts must be pinned or weighted down to prevent them toppling forward, and should be removed from the pitch when not in use and stored securely. 3. Test it: Adults should test the goalposts to make sure they are stable by exerting a downward force on the crossbar, backward and forward force on both upright posts 4. Respect it: Goalposts should only be used for their intended purpose; in particular children should not swing on them PLAYER REGISTRATION All players shall be registered prior to playing in any match. The act of registration is completed by: • Players being entered into the approved online membership database (Comet) as a seasonal player for the Club they wish to play for. • Club Delegates are required to enter teams into the appropriate Competition grade based on the date set by the District Administrator. • Clubs shall then allocate players within the online membership system to a team relevant to their Age Grade. • Football South may require the player’s Birth Certificate if the player’s eligibility is in question. (A photocopy of the Birth Certificate shall be acceptable.) GRADING Players must register in their correct age group based on their date of birth. Clubs should grade players as per the following guidelines. Appropriate age for teams under the jurisdiction of Football South has been determined by Football South in accordance with national practice as follows: Youth Grade minimum born in 2005 FSDL U14 Born 2007/08 FSDL U16 Born 2005/06 15th Grade Born in 2006 14th Grade Born in 2007 13th Grade Born in 2008 12th Grade Born in 2009 11th Grade Born in 2010 10th Grade Born in 2011 9th Grade Born in 2012
2021 JUNIOR HANDBOOK YOUTH GRADE RULES The youth grade is open to any players aged 16-18 years of age. If a player is turning 16years old during the year they are automatically eligible to play in the Youth Grade for that season (i.e. for the 2021 season if a player was born in 2005). Players must be turning 16 in 2021 for boys and 15 in 2021 for girls to compete in senior football. A dispensation will only be considered for National Talent Centre identified players upon application. The player will need to be considered to exceed a significant number of attributes linked to the holistic four corner model of development. Consideration must be provided to all Four Corners of Player Development prior to completion of the dispensation form. Having met the general minimum age restriction (turning 16 years of age for boys during the year) on participation in Senior Football, Youth Grade players may take part in five Senior Football games, and remain playing in the Youth grade. Once they have played their sixth senior game, they will not be eligible to continue playing in the Youth grade. This excludes female players playing in mixed youth grade competitions. It is recommended that females do not play more than 90 minutes in one day. ‘Playing in senior football’ is defined here as being in the starting 11. DISPENSATIONS Football South has identified that there needs to be a more stringent process for dispensations, but cases would be considered on an individual basis depending on evidence provided. Therefore, the below criteria must be met for a dispensation to be approved. Criteria for the 2021 season: The player would have to travel an unreasonable distance to be able to participate in their correct age group. Reasoning – All players should have the opportunity to play so we would consider removing travel as a barrier. The player is performing consistently well beyond their age and needs an additional challenge to ensure they can continue to develop in a safe and appropriate environment. Reasoning – These players have been identified as being talented by NZF in all areas of the four corner model. The player is 12th grade and under and there are extenuating circumstances. Reasoning - For junior grades we need to ensure players are playing where they feel comfortable or to help fill teams. A player has a physical or mental disability. Reasoning – All our players are entitled to a positive playing experience and we will allow any player with a disability to access an appropriate grade to ensure their participation in the game is not lost. In some cases, automatic dispensations are pre-approved. Clubs are responsible for overseeing these players. Below is a list of situations where automatic approval is given: Girls playing down a maximum of 1 grade, either in a mixed boys team or an all girls team (applications for 2 grades). Reasoning – In the NZF Girls Framework it is recommended that girls playing in boys football play
2021 JUNIOR HANDBOOK
down 1 grade to ensure technical development is the focus rather than the physical challenge of
playing boys as they mature through puberty.
Clubs will have allowance for 3 players per grade, if their birthdays fall in October, November or
December to play down 1 grade. An example, if a player is turning 12 in October they will be eligible
to play 11th or 12th grade, but not both.
Reasoning – This allows for Relative Age Effect where players born in the last quarter of the year
might find it more beneficial to play those in the age group below depending on their development.
Process:
All applications made before 5pm Friday will be considered the Monday following. Football
South will be in touch regarding the application after this. Please note clubs should obtain written
permission from the player’s parents before submitting any dispensation application.

DISCIPLINE
Yellow and Red cards may be awarded in Junior Football and are subject to the standard penalties
as determined by NZ Football Regulation 7, however a fine will not be applied. Football South shall
have the power to suspend or expel from any grade or competition, a club team, coach or individual
who wilfully breaches Football South regulations or the NZ Football Code of Conduct. A player may
receive further sanctions as follows;
• Any player having received five specific cautions (Yellow card) during the season shall be stood
down for one playing day.
• Any player sent off the field (Red card) shall be suspended for one playing day.
• Any player guilty of gross misbehaviour may be required to appear before the Football South
Disciplinary Committee who may impose further penalties.2021 JUNIOR HANDBOOK All protests and disputes in connection with the competition shall be dealt with by the Competitions Manager. Playing of Non-Registered Players: Any team found to be playing a non-registered player will lose any points from that game as if that team had defaulted the game. A Player may only be registered with one Club at any given time. Any team playing a player registered with another junior or senior club will lose their points for that game as if that team had defaulted and the game will not be replayed. If a team enters into a play-off, they are not allowed to introduce any new players from within the Club. If a team is found guilty of introducing new players, they will lose their points for that game as if that team had defaulted and the game will not be played. DISPUTES, PROTESTS, APPEALS It is Football South’s policy that in the first instance disputes are discussed between the parties seeking resolution. If the parties are unable to come to a satisfactory solution, then the matter should be referred to their Club Delegate, who will try and resolve the issue between the Clubs of both parties. Football South will become involved if: • The dispute is still unresolved between the Clubs • Or the incident is deemed serious enough to warrant possible disciplinary action. Within seven days a written complaint, protest or incident report, signed by the Club Delegate or Club Secretary will be forwarded to the Football South Competitions Manager. A copy of the written complaint or incident report will be sent to the Club subject to the dispute, protest or appeal for comment to allow a ruling to be made. COMPETITION POINTS (13TH GRADE AND UP) 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss. Leagues will be decided on points – no goal difference will be used. PLAYOFF RULES All Division 1 competitive grades must have a clear winner at the end of the season to determine a grade winner. If teams are on equal points, a playoff will be played to determine a winner. 13th grade and up: • Extra time 10 minutes each way with a straight swap over at halftime • If the two teams are still tied after extra time, the tie will be settled by penalty kicks (best of 5). All penalty takers must have been on the field at the end of extra time. SAFETY Players must: Wear shin guards at all times whilst playing and ensure that they are covered entirely by the player’s socks.
2021 JUNIOR HANDBOOK Not use equipment or wear anything that is dangerous to himself/herself or another player, including any kind of jewellery. (Particular attention is drawn to boot studs). Teams should carry a First Aid kit and we recommend mobile phone access to emergency services. 11+ WARM UP PROGRAMME http://fit4football.co.nz/the-11plus/11plus/ The 11+programme was designed by a panel of international experts in conjunction with FIFA, specifically to reduce the risk of injury in football. It has been developed to work as a warm-up and to be delivered by team coaches. It has been scientifically validated and has been proven to reduce the risk of all injury by 30%, and severe and debilitating injuries by 50%. What to do if you find your team is dominating - challenges and player tasks What to do if you find your team is dominating their opponents and the game looks like it may start to become one sided. Talk to the opposition coach to keep it enjoyable for both teams. Signs to look for: One or more individuals are dominating time in the ball Remedy: Restrict the individual to 2 or 3 touches or give them a point for every pass they complete – set them a points tally to aspire to. Ask them to use just their weak foot. Signs to look for: Players aren’t involved in the game or touching the ball enough Remedy: Those players have to touch the ball before a shot is attempted or they are the designated ‘goal scorers’ Signs to look for: One team is clearly more advanced than their opponents Remedy: Swap players between the two teams or play them in different positions. Challenge them to complete 2-3 passes before attempting to shoot, (increase the completed passes depending on ability and success of the players. Signs to look for: One team regains possession more frequently and is dominant when tackling Remedy: Challenge the players to find ways to regain possession without tackling, eg, interceptions, pressuring opponents to make mistakes without tackling. (You could also ask your players to win the ball back in specific parts of the pitch eg, middle third or defending third, which will allow the opposition time on the ball to bring it forward up the pitch.

(NO exceptions for having more players on field – rotate subs regularly for all players to be actively involved.) • Coaches to coach and encourage players from the side-line. On occasions a coach may have to enter the field to assist a player, if a goal is scored, or play breaks down to support the game. Please keep these times to a minimum. Recommend one coach on each side of field to oversee play when the ball goes out. • Goals cannot be scored directly from inside your own teams half • There are NO Goalkeepers in the games. This includes having players standing in front of the goal playing as if a de factor goalkeeper • There are NO Throw ins at 6th, 7th or 8th grade. If the ball leaves the playing field (from the side) – then a kick in from the side-line is used to recommence play from where the ball went out. Opposition players to retreat a minimum of two metres from the kick in. No goals can be scored directly from this kick in. • There are NO Corners at 6th, 7th or 8th grade. Instead of a corner to recommence play a goal kick is taken – two metres in front of goal. Opposition players to retreat to halfway until the ball is kicked into play, so as to affect a fairer restart of play. • At times players will unintentionally kick the ball behind their own goal line. A goal kick is taken to restart play. If a player deliberately kicks the ball over their own goal line to knowingly seek a goal kick – then the opposition team will receive a side-line kick one metre from the corner. • Small sided games are designed for the enjoyment and development of players. It is not another version of the adult game.

for corners and free kicks2021 JUNIOR HANDBOOK Referees If no official Referee has been appointed, the coach of each team shall referee half a game each, or preferably such person as may be mutually agreed. MATCH DAY RULES SUBSTITUTIONS All Substitutions are rolling unless otherwise stated. OFFSIDE The offside rule applies for 9th grade and above, this can be described as a player being in a position ahead of the ball and in a position of advantage whilst in the oppositions half whilst attacking. In 9th and 10th grade, the offside rule applies, however this is only applied between the retreating line and goal line. In 11th and 12th grade, the offside rule is to be applied from the halfway line. Seagulling is a common term for grades below 10th grade, where an attacking team has an advantage by being ahead of the ball or hovering in and around the opposition goal area. All seagulling should be actively discouraged. The Coach or Referee should be aware of players seagulling and actively encourage them to make short passes from a free kick or goal kick. If a goal is scored from a pass to a player in an offside/ seagull position if this is the first time the player has been in this position, they should be cautioned about seagulling. A free kick should be awarded to the opposition for any subsequent incidents by the same player. GAME START TIME All games should start on time. If a game is late kicking off, playing time should be shortened to enable later games to start on time. BASIC LAWS OF THE GAME: There are common Laws of the Game that apply to Junior competitive grade games. Coaches should be aware of the ‘Laws of the Game’ The FIFA ‘Laws of the Game’ can also be found on FIFA’s official website, www.fifa.com WHO REFEREES THE GAME: If no referee has been appointed, the coach of each team shall referee half a game each, or such person as may be mutually acceptable may referee half or all the game. From 11th grade upwards and only if as a last resort Coaches are required to referee, they shall not coach their players whilst refereeing. If an official referee has been appointed, they will referee the full match. If an official referee has not been appointed both teams shall referee a half each, unless both teams agree to a Club based referee taking control of the full match.
2021 JUNIOR HANDBOOK REFEREE DEVELOPMENT All players, coaches, and supporters want a Referee to officiate in their matches. It helps everyone enjoy the game that much more. Football South expects all competitive grade teams have a minimum of 2 people attend the Referee introductory course and be available to Referee games throughout the season. This is the only way that all competitive games will have qualified Referees. The course covers the basic rules of the game. If you want to complete the course, please contact Lindsey Robinson, Referee Development Officer at lindsey@footballsouth.co.nz CODE OF CONDUCT COACHES CODE • Coaches should observe the following: • Establish a written “code of conduct” which is to be signed by players and parents/ caregivers at the beginning of the season. • Encourage good sportsmanship at all times. • Encourage a good standard of dress from all involved. • Give constructive coaching at all times. • Encourage parents to attend matches and other club functions. • Never strike or attempt to strike your players. • Never use or allow the use of foul abusive language. • Never use unsporting or violent conduct towards an opponent, a colleague, the referee, a linesman or other persons. • Never encourage foul or dangerous play at any time. Coaches are responsible for the conduct of parents and supporters associated with the team. • Working with children - abide by NZF guidelines PLAYERS CODE Football, to be universally enjoyed, has to be played to a standard code of conduct. To avoid bringing the game into disrepute, players are expected to observe the following Decisions: Accept the decision of the match officials without question. On points of fact these are always final. Respect: Treat opponents and officials with the respect you would wish them to accord you.
2021 JUNIOR HANDBOOK Appeals: Avoid appealing for decisions to be given in your favour e.g. throw- ins, corner kicks, apparent infringements by opponents. Fair Play: Play fairly and without danger to opponents. Sportsmanship: Do not indulge in practices of cheating under the guise of ‘gamesmanship’. Discipline: Keep your temper under all circumstances. Disputes: Support the referee immediately should any dispute arise. Honour: To win without honour is a hollow victory. GAME FACILITATORS & PARENTS Remember that you are dealing with young people who are learning the game. The younger the players, the more inexperienced they will be. • Focus should be on the developing players rather than in winning or losing. • Expect limitations in knowledge of the game — after all many adults do not understand the laws. • Educate players in the application of the laws. • Make sure players understand the reason for your decision – both as a Coach and/or Referee. • Teach young players rather than penalize them: for example, get a player to take a throw in again so that it is done correctly. • No coaches or parents behind the goal line. • Ensure all players are wearing shin guards. **As a matter of courtesy, parents, coaches or supporters intending to video any games should seek the consent of the opposition team before commencing. FOOTBALL SOUTH COACH EDUCATION COMMUNITY & ADVANCED PATHWAYS The NZF Coach Education consists of two pathways, “Community” and “Advanced”, allowing coaches to learn knowledge and skills that are specific to their situation, in an appropriate learning environment. Players require very different coaching at different stages in their development and these two pathways aim to provide support at each stage. Beginning coaches can enter the Community pathway at Introduction level or, if they believe that previous playing and coaching experience provides them with a higher base of knowledge, can immediately enter the Advanced pathway.
