Game Cards


This applies to all divisions except Kinder.


Game Cards are an essential element to managing the game, and managing our Region.  The information from the Game Card is used to ensure the correct players are on the field at the start of the game.  And, the information entered into the system from the Game Card is used to (1) ensure the players are on the field at least 3/4 of each game, (2) highlight issues with team balances and sportsmanship regarding blowouts, (3) is used in the team balancing next year.  Be sure to accurate with your game cards, and get the data into the system within a day of the game that was played.  




At ALL Palo Alto AYSO games, each team will give the Referee (or an Assistant Referee) an Official AYSO Lineup Form which gives the team name and number, coaches' names, and the name and jersey number of each player.

Before the game: check players in

  • Verify player jersey number when checking uniform, shinguards, jewelry, cleats, etc.
  • Line through (or write "A" in) all quarters if the player will be absent from the game

During the game: record game information
The lineup card has space on it to record which players are not playing each "quarter" and is thus essential to help you monitor and enforce AYSO's "Everyone Plays" policy.  For each player:

  • In the space for each "quarter":
    • Write "A" if the player was absent (e.g., went home before the end of the game)
    • Write "I" if the player was at the game but did not play due to an injury
    • Write "X" if the player sat out (rested)
    • Write "G" or "K" if the player played Goalkeeper
    • Leave blank if the player played a field position
  • In the space for each half:
    • Write the number of Goals Scored by the player
The card does not have much free space on it to keep a record of everything that happens during the game beyond "quarters" played and goals.  In U14 and higher games you will commonly need more space.  You have a few choices:
  • print the "Game Record Package" from WebYouthSoccer (recommended)
  • print a different design game record (e.g., one of the FIFA versions designed by Peter Fletcher)
  • buy preprinted cards from one of the soccer referee stores
  • design your own card and print it
  • use a blank index card and fill it in however you like

Enter Game Card information 
into 
WebYouthSoccer

For games in divisions U7 through U19, the Referee 
must enter the game card information online (preferably, within 24 hours after the game):
  • Log into WebYouthSoccer
  • Click on the  Referee  link on the left.  If you do not see a Referee link, contact our RRA.
  • Click the  Main Page  link on the left
  • Click on  Input Game Cards  (center, bottom of page)
  • Click on the date of the game
  • Click on "26" under Region
  • Click on the name of the field
  • Click on the time of the game
  • For each team, click on "Edit" and enter the stats for each player and the score for the team
The data entered ("quarters" played and goals scored by each player) helps to ensure that AYSO's "Everyone Plays" policy is being observed and will also be used next year in the team formation and balancing process.
