Romp Guidelines

Picture
It is the coaches responsibility to fill out methods used to avoid a ROMP when reporting game scores
Guidelines for the Prevention of Running up Game Scores

The responsibility for prevention of running up scores falls directly on the coaches. Each coach should discuss these guidelines with their counterpart 5 minutes prior to the start of the match. Any coach guilty of allowing his/her team to run up scores should be reported to the commissioner. The commissioner will contact the coach and the reporter and ensure that the policy is understood. Any repeat or continued offense of the policy will be reported to the home club for disciplinary action. The people of the LARS committee represent all clubs in the county and we all expect coaches to conduct themselves and keep their players acting as "Good Sports" at all times.
WHEN TO DISCUSS AND INSTITUTE RESTRICTIONS

A simple guideline is that no team should have more than a 4 goal lead before instituting restrictions on play. Restrictions should be done in a subtle manner so as to not embarrass other coaches or players.  Coaches should do their best to keep from beating a team by more than 5-7 goals.  T
he goal is to provide a learning environment where soccer is still fun for everyone…..If a coach is not capable of accomplishing this then they need to look at themselves and ask serious questions about why they are out there.

This is where the recreational soccer kids learn the game and are taught life lessons like teamwork and sportsmanship
USE THE BELOW METHODS DISCRETELY

Opportunities for a team down by 5 goals


• The team down by 5 goals may add a player for the remainder of the game. This can be done without a stoppage in play with the referee's approval. This does not change the responsibility of the coach of the leading team to institute the below restrictions.

Some simple restrictions for the team with the 5 goal lead

• Pull a player off the play short to help the situation
• Players must complete 5 to 7 passes before a cross for one time shot
• Move players to positions they are unaccustomed to - front line becomes back line
• Have players pass and shoot with their "off" foot
• Have players target one or two team mates for scoring (someone who hasn't scored yet this season)
• Players must score on "crossed balls" only with one touch into goal.
• Players must bring ball inside penalty area then back to Center circle and attack again before being able to shoot.
• You can pull a player off and play short to help the situation.

Any coaches having questions about this policy or what they can do that's for the good of the player to remedy any issues regarding youth soccer may contact their club administrators or use the Contact Form on this website to contact the LARS Commissioner.
