Questions

CALL IT BOTH WAYS! Did something strange happen in one of your games and you're wondering what the correct application of the Law is?

BOTTOMLINE - The State Director of Instruction (Wally Beaumont) serves as the principal source within the State for interpretations on the Laws of the Game.

Certified Instructors are responsible to maintain and disseminate current knowledge of the Laws of the Game, changes and USSF interpretation (NOT PERSONAL OPINION).
