In all League and League Cup games last year yellow and red card violations were down, with credit going mostly to the implementation of CLS 'No Victory Without Honor' program. It is a great partnership between CSL and the teams that participated to bring sportsmanship back to the game. The 2013/14 should even be better with the program in the second year.
When you see this flag on the pitch go over to the manager and the coaches and congratulate them on an outstanding job in the No Victory Without Honor program.
Also at check-in give a big thumbs up to the players!

“SoCal Premier U23 First Season Comes to a Close with a Win of the California U23 Championship”
“It was a fantastic inaugural season for the SoCal Premier U23 league. The high level of competition was exactly as we expected.” Said Matt Morse, President of SoCal Premier / CSL-Adults.
Chivas USA won both the league and the California Championship against the NorCal U23 Premier league.
The two top teams from SoCal Premier and NorCal Premier met in San Luis Obispo on Aug 4th to determine the Cal U23 Champion. Corinthians USA Pomona United, also represented SoCal Premier won a tough match against DV8 in the semi-finals to make is it a “all” SoCal Premier final.
Chivas USA won the league with no loses and just one tie. Corinthians USA Pomona United was a very close second with the most goals scored throughout the season. Sports Club Orange County (with the lowest goals against) and Chula Vista Premier FC rounded out the top four.
The feedback from the teams (coaches and managers) was very positive, the level of play continued to push their players to improve their game, the venues were top notch and the level of officiating was at par with the competition level.
A few of the teams will join the CSL-Adult/SoCal Premier division for the fall season now that they have been exposed to high level of competition that is provided.
Next summer you will see the return of the U23 summer league, because of the great success and the “buzz” we anticipate many more teams to participate, including a women’s division.

Command Presence - Look Sharp, Act Sharp, Sharp
Command presence is about communicating with personality and the execution through:
Eyes…the look
Nod of the head
Simply, command presence is about presenting yourself as someone in authority who is trusted and respected. Command presence is conveyed by how you:
All match officials (referees, assistant referees and fourth officials) need to call upon their command presence as they interact with game participants. Match officials must be able to decide upon the most appropriate method to deliver a message and, at the same time, ensure that the message matches the situation and/or player. Every situation may require and/or every player may respond to a different type of message. What works in one situation or with one player may not work in/with another.
Overall, with strong command presence comes an aura of confidence. Confidence can be felt and seen by all game participants. In fact, as a viewer of a game, you can feel the referee’s confidence based upon the way he walks, carries himself and the look in his face (“presence”).
Remember, your verbal communication is not only defined by what words you choose but also how the words are communicated. The tone, volume and inflection of the words are as – if not more – important than the words themselves. At the same time, the most effective form of communication is the non-verbal or the use of body language. As a consequence, referees must work to strengthen their visual body language messages.
Think about it, which has a broader audience: the verbal or the visual (body language)? It is of course, the visual communication that can resonate throughout the field, the sidelines and the stadium.
“Command presence is not about control, it is about connecting. More important, it is not about power, it is about building partnerships.”
“Words have power, but they only have power as long as someone is listening. Once a person decides not to listen, words lose their power.”
“Words should be used as tools of communication and not as a substitute for action.”
"We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way." George S. Patton
