Opening Day Letter from Presidio's President Bob Turner.

Welcome to the Presidio Soccer League and SDDA Fall 2019 season!

We want to thank you for being part of Presidio and San Diego Developmental Academy. Without you there wouldn't be a Presidio. We look forward to a great season for your teams and players but we know that some of what we ask of you of is a little overwhelming, so we are trying to communicate as much information as possible to make your job as simple as possible.

Please read the read through the links and Administrator Guide, this should give you access to all the information you need to be successful. You can also email me or your circuit director if run across any issues. I will be sending regular updates to keep you informed.

We have been reporting suspected head injuries for the last 4 years, but because of Law AB 2007 the procedures are even more important and must be adhered to. Referees are required to report all suspected head injuries on the match report. Team Managers must also report suspected head injuries through the online system and to their Club Administrator(s) immediately. The Club will pull the player card until the player has been medically released per the protocol and cleared by Presidio.  

The number of referee abuse/assault issues have been getting worse every year and have continued into this tournament season. The Presidio Member Clubs recognized the problem and the potential confusion with the ever-changing rule changes and implemented a new Parent/Sideline Ejection Rule.

Parent/Sideline Ejection Rule 2019: Starting this fall 2019 Season Presidio Soccer League has instituted a Parent/Sideline Ejection Rule, the rule is as written;

If a parent is ejected from a game, he or she must leave the field area immediately (be out of sight and sound) and will automatically be suspended for a minimum of 2 additional games.

In addition, the entire sideline will also be suspended for the team’s next game, due to the parent being ejected from the game.

The only individuals that are allowed on the sideline other than the team’s players will be the coach and team manager, unless the team manager was the offending party.

If the manager was the offending party the club will appoint another pre-determined administrator or parent to act as the team manager for the game, prior to next game.

There is no excuse and for those of you that are new to Presidio you need to understand and make sure your parents and players understand that referee abuse of any kind will be dealt with severely, any such behavior will not be tolerated. So please respect the referees, players and the game. Most importantly we have zero tolerance for abuse of a youth referee of any kind.
