Can someone point me to the rules on shingaurds this year. Also, what are the rules on playing with casts. I've seen different refs say bubble wrap, foam, and some say you have to have wear a custom made pad. Any web links would be appreciated

Farragut or Bearden

Middle Tennessee Fire @ Wilson Central Friday March 6. JV 5:00 V 7:00

I know HS switched to Select as the official ball, but which one are you using and why? Brilliant Super? Royale? Super IMS? Does Middle School have an official ball? If yes, is it Select also? Thanks,

Do any teams have 8th graders that play Varistiy or JV? Is there a 4 year rule? If so does it apply if they play only JV?

Who is coming back for Tullahoma? And who are the Freshman? Who are their impact players?

Who did Independence lose from last year and who do they have returning? I like Independence but am curious what vaulted them to number 1? Any specifics.

Last year the refs kept mentioning next year that all players had to have longer shin gaurds. Does anyone know the exact details on the new shingaurd rule? Also, I think it may be the same rule that travel soccer has had for a few years. Travel doesn't enforce the rule. Will the TSSAA refs enforce the new shin gaurd rule?

What does Stratford have? Are they big? fast? Any college prospects?

I just don't understand how most of the states in the U.S. play soccer in the fall but Tennessee can't, won't or just doesn't want to? Why? For Travel players they could do some better tournaments. For High School they could do more regional games.

Why does Tennessee play boys high school soccer in the Spring? Most other states play in the Fall. Is it something we can change? It seems like there would be more regional high school games if we played on the same Fall schedule.

When do most coaches start scheduling for boys Soccer in the Spring?

Is there a list somewhere online of boys High School Soccer tournaments Spring 2009? Thanks,

Middle Tennessee Fire Homeshcool- 2 Brentwood Academy-1

The Middle Tennessee Fire plays Brentwood Acad. this Tuesday. Any thoughts on the outcome?

On a related note. How do you guys keeps stats. Shots on goal. Are you just counting shots on frame or are you counting anything within 3 or 4 ft of goal? What is the technical definition for shots?

The Middle Tennessee Fire plays Hume-Fogg this Friday 4-11-08 @ West End Middle 7:30 kickoff. This should be a good game. Any thoughts.

Does anyone know anything about Wilson Central? Did they lose a lot of seniors? Who are their key players? Thanks

Does anyone know who is in this tournament and anything about them?

Do you know who scored the goals?

The Middle Tennessee Fire is not part of the TSSAA but they are allowed to play TSSAA teams.

Any input on good summer team camps? Preferably in Middle Tennessee.

Back to one of the original questions. Does anybody know when most other states play boys soccer? Spring or Fall? From what I've seen most other states have Boys H.S. in the fall and Girls H.S. in the Spring. Football seems the most logical explanation. But other states play better football than Tennessee H.S. right?

Does anyone have experience with a good BBk tournament scheduling software. Preferably cheap or free. Thanks
