Team Choice Reschedule Summary

• These games are only the games where a team has
  requested a reschedule and do not include weather
  or referee no show.
• From the charts we can see that we are not very
  successful at playing the rescheduled games
  within the required 3 weeks of the original game
  date. There are some recommended changes to the
  Rescheduling Policy.

13
Game Feedback

• In mid July we implemented a feedback
  questionnaire for each game on
• Forgot to include feedback on the team staff but
  will add for next season.
• For the 2007 Season we will use the information
  we gain from the feedback to help us decide where
  we will send Match Monitors. Coaches need to be
  honest in their feedback completion if it is to
  be of any value. Will never be used for
  discipline, only as an indicator of where we may
  have problems.

14
Game Feedback Referees

• Feedback was requested for Arrival Time,
  Appearance, Conduct, Positioning, Control and
  effective usage of Assistant Referees.
• 214 Referees with more than 5 reports
• Arrival 4 Referees identified as consistently
  late
• Appearance not an issue
• Conduct/Position/Control identified 15
  unsatisfactory referees and more that can use
  some help
• ARs used most of the reports indicate the
  referee used their ARs. I suggest that the
  coaches did not take the time to accurately
  comment

teams indicated the field was unsatisfactory.

unsatisfactory assessments by both teams are

Mini Referee Assignment

• Had some challenges this season that we can
  hopefully get fixed for 2007
• Everyone completed the assigning in September so
  all Clubs are prepared to use the system for 2007
• Later in the presentation you will see how the
  referee reporting in Ref Centre is critical to
  the ERSL conducting business

19
Regional Assistant Referee Assignment

• Mixed success
• Inconsistent assignment in Ref Centre so this was
  not used to determine if ARs were assigned
• Game sheets were used instead

20
How We Do Business
21
League Management System

• The ERSL utilizes and League Management System to
  manage the day to day operations of the league.
  Through the web-based system the ERSL conducts
  the following activities
• Game scheduling and rescheduling
• Game sheet creation
• Referee assigning (by Districts and Clubs). The
  ERSL schedules are tied to the Referee assigning
  system
• Game reporting by Coaches
• Game reporting by the Referees and
• Discipline.
• The League Management system enables the ERSL to
  efficiently operate the league with a minimum of
  staff and therefore it is important that everyone
  does their part in quickly and correctly.

ERSL Tools Game Sheet Review

• Referee Game Report Review
• When the game sheet is received from the Referee,
  the ERSL completes the review.
• The information shown below is on the ERSL League
  Management System but it is fed directly from the
  Referees game report on Ref Centre, this is the
  reason Mini Referees are required to complete the
  Ref Centre game report the same as the full field
  Referees assigned by the Districts

New Youth Pyramid for Play

• The RFD and its amendments can be viewed on the
  following web page.http//www.soccer.on.ca/Commit

  e16/35553ae860112b138525718e0043b6a7?OpenDocument
• The current Youth Pyramid For Play structure
  consists of a four level structure based on
  Provincial League, Regional Leagues, District
  Leagues and Club Leagues.
• The new Youth Pyramid For Play structure
  approved, in principle, by the OSA Board on April
  30, 2006 consists of a seven level structure
  based on Level 1 League, Level 2 Leagues, Level 3
  Leagues, Level 4 Leagues, Level 5 Leagues, Level
  6 Leagues and Level 7 Leagues.
• Over the next couple of months the EODSA and SOSA
  will be determining how their District will fit
  into the new pyramid. This may require some
  changes to the Premier and / or Division 1
  divisions. In all likelihood the changes will be
  transparent to the Clubs and teams.
• Decisions should be made for the next LMC meeting
  after the ERSL AGM
