MOSSL Tryouts
Mid‐Ohio Select Soccer League
How To Choose A Select Team
HOW TO CHOOSE A SELECT SOCCER TEAM
Whether this is your first time in select soccer or an old hat at it, we welcome you to Mid-Ohio Select Soccer League.
MOSSL is composed of 32 member soccer organizations from throughout Central Ohio. Our member leagues extend
from Mt. Vernon in the north, to Chillicothe in the south and from Zanesville in the east to Marysville in the west.
The league is administrated by an Executive Board, the members of which are elected by the Board of Directors of
MOSSL.
The Board of Directors consists of one member from each of the member leagues. The MOSSL Board of Directors
consists of persons from all walks of life who bring years of experience in soccer administration, coaching, refereeing
and soccer parenting.
All of the Executive Committee members and MOSSL Directors are here to assist you and your child in any way
possible as you and your family progress along the path of select soccer.
In the fall season of 2013 , we had 360 girls and boys teams from the U-8 to U-14 age groups. In the spring 2014
season, the league expanded to include the high school age players, U-15 to U-19, for a total of 421 teams.
An additional 630 teams participated in MOSSL’s sister organization, the Buckeye Premier Youth Soccer League,
the state wide premier league.
For the vast majority of you, select soccer will become a wonderful experience. MOSSL demands a strong
commitment from its member organizations and coaches. In addition, we expect your child to make the commitment to
their team for the entire league year, fall and spring.
There are many factors that should enter into your decision in choosing select soccer as an avenue for your child to
pursue, such as time, cost, training, etc. Our purpose with this letter is to attempt to provide some insight into some of
these areas.
TIME COMMITMENT
First, find out what will be expected in terms of;


Practice (how many days per week)
Indoor soccer (Winter months)


Camps
Fundraising


Tournaments (How many, when and where)
# of Games Per Week
Consider any other commitments that may be a potential for interference. If you have other commitments, such as religious
obligations or other sports or activities, make sure you and the coach agree ahead of time to resolve those conflicts.

MOSSL Tryouts
Mid‐Ohio Select Soccer League
How To Choose A Select Team
TRANSPORTATION
Find out where the team practices, plays and where any other team related activities may take place. Everything is not
always as black and white as it might seem.
LEVEL OF COMPETITION
Find out what level the coach wants to play the team at and honestly evaluate how your child fits into the picture. Your child
will be playing the game, so choose a level where they will have the most fun playing, considering their proper skill level.
Children get better by playing, not by sitting. MOSSL usually offers 2 - 5 levels of competition in each age group for U-14
and younger depending on the number of teams registered in an age group. The “A” division being the highest and
descending from that point to the “E” division. Remember that you can have a negative impact on the development of your
child by trying to press them into a situation higher than their capabilities.
COACHES AND TRAINERS
Your child will be spending a lot of time with these individuals. Find out about their experience and background. Be sure
you and your child are compatible with their coaching style and demeanor. Like all of us, each coach may have a different
emotional level. Find someone who you feel will provide the role model that you want your child to have.
TRYOUTS
Tryouts are held in a two to three week period following the Spring season ending league tournament for a particular age
group. You should attend the tryouts for the teams you desire. Coaches may not deter, by any means, players from attending
whatever tryouts the player desires. Tryouts after the Spring season may not be held until after the established time
according to information found in MOSSL Bylaw 8.1. After tryouts, weigh your options and make your decision. Coaches
need responses in a timely manner however; they cannot place unreasonable demands on you to join their team or club. The
first time that a coach may offer your child a position on the team that they tried out for is 2:00 PM on the Sunday following
the first day that tryouts are permitted. See M.O.S.S.L. Bylaws 8.0 TRYOUTS and 9.0 RECRUITING for additional
information.
TRANSFERS
What if you feel you have made a mistake and wish to change teams? MOSSL considers players carded to a team
committed to that team for both fall and spring seasons. Players are considered to be rostered to a team when the player's
registration materials are completed by the parent or the guardian. Transfers will only be considered when all necessary and
completed paperwork is received in the M.O.S.S.L. office according to M.O.S.S.L. Bylaws 10.1 through 10.1.5. If the
M.O.S.S.L. office receives all of the necessary and completed paperwork by the designated cut-off dates, as listed in
M.O.S.S.L. Bylaws 10.1, 10.1.1.1. and 10.1.1.2, transfers will be approved unless the M.O.S.S.L. Bylaw on recruiting has
been violated or the number of players on the player’s current team would fall below the minimum requirements according to
M.O.S.S.L. Bylaws. See M.O.S.S.L. Bylaw 10.0 TRANSFERS and CHANGING TEAMS.
Good luck and MOSSL wishes you and your child the best during your soccer experience.

Championship may have an unlimited number of transfers.
10.2 It is the spirit and intent of these Administrative Bylaws that during the tryout process, between the Spring and Fall
seasons, players should be given wide latitude to select or be selected by teams or coaches that best suit that player’s
development. Once that decision is reached by a player and his/her family, persons other that the coach of the team selected
must respect that decision and not attempt to change the decision that the player has made.
Coaches must understand that once a player has been selected for a particular team, the coach has made a commitment to that
player for the entire seasonal year.
Likewise, once a player has made a commitment to play for a particular team, the player should be prepared to be a member of
the team for the entire seasonal year.

Ohio South Hazardous Weather Condition Guidelines
Mid‐Ohio Select Soccer League
OHIO SOUTH YOUTH SOCCER ASSOCIATION
SECTION 17.0 GUIDELINES FOR LIGHTNING AND HAZARDOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS
The protection of Ohio South members and participants is of paramount importance. Every member should recognize the
danger presented by lightning, tornados and other hazardous weather. The following items represent generally accepted
principles regarding the dangers involved with lightning and tornados.
LIGHTNING:
•All thunderstorms produce lightning and are dangerous.
•Lightning often strikes as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. You are in danger from lightning if you can hear
thunder. You are in danger if you can see lightning.
•Lightning injuries can lead to permanent disabilities or death. Look for dark cloud bases and increasing wind.
•Lightning can travel sideways for up to 10 miles and strike when skies are blue.
•Soccer fields are a dangerous place to be during a lightning storm. When lightning is seen or thunder is heard, or
when dark threatening clouds are observed, quickly suspend the game and/or practice and move to a safe location.
•Avoid standing in an open area, near soccer goals, under a tent, near trees or in water. The safest place during a
thunderstorm with or without visible lightning is in a car, but not a convertible.
TORNADOS:
•Watch for rapidly darkening skies.
•The sound of an approaching tornado is often described as that of an approaching train.
•The funnel of a tornado does not have to touch down to cause extensive damage and injuries.
•Tornados can produce winds of 300 miles per hour or more.
•Most people who are hurt during a tornado are hurt when they are struck by flying debris.
•Seek safety in a solid structure, preferably in a basement or in an interior room. If no building is available, lay
down in a ditch.
GAME SUSPENSION REQUIREMENTS:
In any of the circumstances outlined below occurs, the referee should immediately suspend the game.
1. If thunder is heard, the game should be suspended and the fields cleared. Everyone should immediately go to a
safe shelter.
2. If lightning is seen, the game should be suspended and the fields cleared. Everyone should immediately go to a
safe shelter.
3. If a thunderstorm is heard or seen coming or your hair stands on end, the game should be suspended and the fields
cleared. Everyone should immediately go to a safe shelter. Do not wait until it rains.
If the game official does not immediately suspend the game when any one of the points above have occurred, the
head coach from each team can agree that one of the four criteria listed above have occurred they are to withdraw
their teams from the field. If this action is taken, then both coaches must submit a written report to their league
outlining the circumstances, the facts concerning the weather conditions at that time, the fact that the two coaches
were in agreement and the name of the officials at the game.
If an official and one of the coaches do not reach the conclusion to suspend the game and any one of the four points
listed above are believed to have occurred, the coach that supported the suspension of the game is to send a written
report to their league outlining the facts and the names of the officials.
No one should retake the field or re-start the game until all of the lightning and thunder or other hazardous weather
has left the area. Specifically, no one should retake the filed for a minimum of 30 minutes after the last lightning is
seen or thunder is heard, or the dangerously high winds have passed.
Each league should establish their own procedures for replaying of any games suspended due to lightning or
tornados.

Zero Tolerance
OHIO SOUTH YOUTH SOCCER ASSOCIATION
16.0 Zero Tolerance Policy Against Abuse
The Ohio South Youth Soccer Association is committed to providing a safe environment for
its members and participants, and to preventing abusive conduct in any form. Every
member of this organization is responsible for protecting our participants and ensuring
their safety and well being while involved in sponsored activities.
To this end, we have established the following guidelines of behavior and procedures for
our staff, volunteers and participants. All members of this organization, as well as parents,
spectators and other invitees are expected to observe and adhere to these guidelines.
1. Abuse of any kind is not permitted within our organization. This means we do not
tolerate physical, sexual, emotional or verbal abuse or misconduct from our players,
coaches, officials, volunteers, parents or spectators.
2. Physical and sexual abuse, including, but not limited to, striking, hitting, kicking, biting,
indecent or wanton gesturing, lewd remarks, indecent exposure, unwanted physical
contact, any form of sexual contact or inappropriate touching, are strictly prohibited within
our organization.
3. Emotional abuse or verbal abuse is also prohibited. These include, but are not limited to
such forms of abuse as: yelling, insulting, threatening, mocking, demeaning behavior, or
making abusive statements in regard to a person's race, gender, religion,
nationality/ethnicity, sex or age.
4. We are committed to providing a safe environment for our players, participants and
staff. We do so by appointing all coaches, officials and volunteers and anyone else
affiliated with our organization as protection advocates. Every member of this organization
is responsible for reporting any cases of questionable conduct or alleged mistreatment
toward our members by any coach, official, volunteer, player, parent, sibling or spectator.
5. Buddy System: We recommend that every activity sponsored by our program put a
Buddy System in place. Each youth participant should be assigned a buddy during
sponsored activities. No child should go anywhere -to the bathrooms, locker rooms, or
other location without his or her buddy.
6. To further protect our youth participants, as well as our coaches, officials and
volunteers, we strongly advise that no adult person allow him/herself to be alone with a
child or with any group of children during sponsored activities. In particular, we
recommend that coaches or other adult members of this organization:
Do not drive alone with a child participant in the car.

55
2014 • 2015
Mid‐Ohio Select Soccer League
Zero Tolerance
Do not take a child alone to the locker room, bathrooms or any other any other private room.
Provide one-on-one training or individual coaching with the assistance of another adult or the
child's Buddy.
If you must have a private conversation with a youth participant, do it within view of others, in
the gym or on the field, instead of in a private office.
Coaches and other adult members of this organization should not socialize individually with
the participants outside of sponsored activities
6. Supervision/Chaperone ratio: We recommend that for any sponsored activity, the ratio of
adults to youth participants be 1:8, one (or more) adults for every eight children, with a
minimum of two adults for every activity.
7. When traveling overnight with youth participants, children should be paired up with other
children of same gender and similar age group, with chaperones in separate but nearby
rooms.
8. We want to empower our children to trust their feelings and let them know that their
concerns, fears and hopes are important by listening to them. Open communication between
children and parents, or between children and other adults in the organization may help early
warning signs of abuse to surface.
9. We encourage parents to become as active as possible in sponsored activities, games,
practices and other events. The more the parents are involved, the less likely it is for abusive
situations to develop.
10. We will respond quickly to any and all allegations of abuse within this organization. This
information will be communicated to the authorities for investigation and will be reviewed by
the organization's directors. The alleged offender will be notified of such allegations promptly.
11. Any person accused of sexual or physical abuse may be asked to resign voluntarily or
may be suspended by the board until the matter is resolved. Regardless of criminal or civil
guilt in the alleged abuse, the continued presence of the person could be detrimental to the
reputation of the organization and could be harmful to the participants. A person who is
accused but later cleared of charges, may apply to be reinstated within the organization.
Reinstatement is not a right, and no guarantee is made that he or she will be reinstated to
his/her former position.
12. We promote good sportsmanship throughout the organization and encourage qualities of
mutual respect, courtesy and tolerance in all participants, coaches, officials and volunteers.
We advocate building strong self-images among the youth participants. Children with a strong
self-image may be less likely targets for abuse; similarly, they may be less likely to abuse or
bully others around them

The Kids 's Inner-City Developmental Soccer League was founded in 1994 with the
formation of one team of nine and ten year old children from the Godman Guild, a
Columbus central city settlement house. The team played at the Northern Columbus
Athletic Association as a courtesy of the association. Uniforms were donated by Soccer
Central and transportation was provided by The Godman Guild. The children and families
involved, had a great time and did learn the fundamentals of the game.
After the first season it was determined that these children needed a league of their own
which would allow them to play with other children who had had limited soccer
experience. That was how the "developmental" concept of the league originated.
Discussions began with several other inner city organizations needing a soccer program and
surprisingly in the spring of 1995 all seven inner city Columbus settlement houses
participated in the newly formed league which played at Joyce Park near St. Stephens
Community Center, one of our early partners. Two years later, the City of Columbus
Recreation and Parks Department secured Saunders Park in Columbus for the exclusive use
of the K.I.D.S.'s league. In addition, several Columbus Recreation and Parks Department
Community Centers have joined the program throughout the past several years.
There have been as many as 700 children in the program during each season. There is
absolutely no cost to the children or the community partners to participate in the program.
All equipment, goals, referees, balls, field lining and maintenance are provided free of
charge. There is no restriction on race, creed, sex, religion or national origin to participate
in the program. The program has always strived to give empowerment for the operation of
the program in the hands of the participants. The program is now operated from within the
community. Dozens of KIDS' players have gone on to play soccer for their high school
teams. Many of the original players have been trained as referees and now give back to the
program.
The Kid's Inner-City Developmental Soccer League with donations of time by the
volunteers, grants and donations from M.O.S.S.L., continues to operate on a very tight
budget. The Early Bird Spring Soccer Invitational and Starburst Soccer Spectacular
tournaments attempts to be part of long term funding for the Kid's Inner-City
Developmental Soccer League. .
