The referee (you) sees the goalkeeper parry the ball in his own penalty area. What is the correct restart, if any?
To “parry” the ball is to handle the ball deliberately, pushing it to a place where the goalkeeper may play it to moreadvantage. By parrying the ball, the goalkeeper has done two things: (1) established possession and (2) given uppossession. The ball is now free for all to play. (Ask a Referee, December 12, 2006). A parry is NOT a deflection.So, in the situation above the keeper has handled the ball illegally. Because the keeper was in his own penalty area itis not a direct free kick. Therefore the correct answer: Indirect Free Kick at the point of the infraction.
Knowing the correct start or restart is a critical part of successful refereeing. Jim and Chris will provide information tohelp us to get ready for the spring season.
Bring your Laws of the Game books and associated instructions (Directives, etc.)

o Jim Kritzberg has been added as a voting member (a role of the current Adult Referee of the Year)and perhaps other functions to be announced.o Cory Dean is now the Washington State Director of Assessment, stepping in for Fred Mabbotto The WASRC was divested by the Washington Youth Soccer earlier during the year and onNovember 17, 2010 the two Association presidents (Tim Busch and Doug Andreassen) grantedpermission for SRC to go independent. On Dec. 2, 2010 the SRC was granted a not-for-profitcorporation status in the State.o As a result of the WASRC now being independent of the Adult and Youth Soccer organizations,they have proposed a new Constitution - to be voted on at a meeting on Feb. 02.

Risk Management Authorization (RMA) from Washington Youth Soccer:
Each referee involved with Youth Soccer MUST have on file a Risk Management # and expirationdate issued by Washington Youth Soccer. This is a criminal background check done via theWashington State Patrol. No matter the age or the role, everyone goes through this process!
This is an automated process whereby your LEGAL NAME (the one you used for your RiskManagement Application) and your BIRTH DATE are matched to the Washington Youth Soccer RiskManagement files.
To make this work you must ensure that your Legal/RMA name (first and last only) are the same aswhat you submitted to the Risk Management Process and that your birth date is correct. This can bedone using Services:Profile. Then the next time you Logon the system will check the State Database.

QUIRKS: If you didn't use your Legal name and can't remember what you did use then you mustcontact WYSA. If you've expired and have never submitted the ONLINE version of the Applicationyou may create a duplicate which will require you to contact Washington Youth Soccer.
