Indoor Laws of the Game for the NWT
The NWT Soccer Association has developed this document for the purposes of ensuring players, coaches, and officials are all familiar with and educated on a single set of rules governing indoor soccer within the NWT. These Laws will apply to Member Leagues and sanctioned tournaments within the NWT as of March 31st, 2013. We would like to ensure this document reflects soccer in the NWT so please provide any comments or feedback to our Head of Referees, Mr. Nick Rivet.
Assessors & Instructors
In an effort to continue developing our northern referees, the NWTSA requires that all certified assessors must complete a total of four (4) assessments within a calendar year to maintain their accrediation. Aseessors will be paid $25.00 per assessment.and must submit these to Lyric at the Sport North office. Instructors must conduct a course jointly with another instructor to become active, then they are eligible to offer courses. Instructor must offer at least once in a two-year time period to maintain their accreditation and will be compensated for their services.
IFAB Decision Concerning Headscarves
July 12, 2012
At its meeting on 5-July, 2012, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) “:agreed to unanimously approve – temporarily during a trial period – the wearing of headscarves. The design, colour and material permitted will be defined and confirmed following the IFAB Annual Business Meeting in Glasgow in October.” This ruling came into effect immediately following the meeting.
The CSA requires that this be upheld. While this directive allows for the wearing of headscarves, until such time as the IFAB issues any further instructions Referees are still reminded that it is their responsibility to ensure that the headscarf is safe and does not pose a danger to the wearer as well as other participants. “Equipment other than the basic equipment must be inspected by the Referee and determined not to be dangerous”, according to Law 4 of the Laws of the Game, page 67.
Further instructions will be communicated following the IFAB’s annual business meeting in October.
