YELLOW CARD RULE HAS BEEN MODIFIED

Through the efforts of the PSCA leadership and many league reps, Mark Byers PIAA Assistant Executive Director and the Soccer Steering Committee the "Yellow Card Rule" has been modified to allow a player receiving the yellow to be substituted.

The rule will look as follows. This is not the Official NFHS rule, but
pretty close.

A five (5) minute playing time sit out following the issuance of a yellow card to a player with the opportunity for that player’s Team to substitute for that player. A cautioned player(s) may return to the field as a substitute, following the five (5) minute playing time sit out period, pursuant to NFHS Soccer Rule 3-4.

The PSCA still has some issues with the sitting of the player. PSCA President Tom Farr did address this in his previous statement.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT CONCERNING
THE PROPOSED "YELLOW CARD RULE"

The PSCA has taken a position on the proposed yellow card rule and we have been in correspondence with the PIAA. Attached (click here) is the letter which PSCA President Tom Farr sent to the PIAA.

In an email reply to that letter, PIAA Assistant Executive Director
Mark E. Byers assures the PSCA th
at this topic will be on the agenda at the next Soccer Steering Committee meeting and also at the next
Board of Directors' agenda.

The 6th Annual Honor and Awards Banquet of the PSCA, held in the banquet room of the Harrisburg/Hershey Holiday Inn on February 2, was a grand success. There were close to 400 people in attendance for the early afternoon affair. Eighty-six of our All State players were there to receive their certificates and a Brine soccer ball. The NSCAA Regional All-America and NSCAA National All-America Boys and Girls were recognized by PSCA Master of Ceremony Robby Robinson. Shane Pruitt, PSCA Player of the Year from Peters Township High School and Sarah Oswald of Emmaus High School were honored as the male and female Player of the Year in Pennsylvania. They each received a beautiful trophy and a Brine sport bag.

The PSCA Coaches of the Year Awards were presented with their plaques. The Gerald Botdorf Service Award was presented to Mike Bullock from the Harrisburg Patriot News for his service to soccer.

The highlight of the banquet was the presentation to soccer legend Walter Bahr of the United States Soccer Federation, Pennsylvania State University, and Frankfort High School. Mr. Bahr earned recognition as the 2008 PSCA Honor Award recipient and PSCA Hall of Fame inductee.
