This is not a new rule but many of you do not enforce this rule that has been in effect for the past few seasons. SLIDE TACKLING FROM BEHIND (180 degrees) IS PROHIBITED. Slide tackling from behind is not permitted under any circumstance, even if the player makes no contact with the opposing player or gets all ball. Please make sure to warn the players before the game in the pre-game meeting. For a slide tackle from behind and making no contact with a player is an automatic yellow card, no questions asked. If a slide tackle takes place and there is contact with the opposing player it is an automatic red card. SAY states this clearly in the rule book and I expect you to enforce it. You have red and yellow cards for a reason.
If you need pinnies for color situations...they are at the concession stand at Phillips Park
Lightning - if you see lightning get off the field, thunder..its up to the referee
I am not sure whether the lightning prediction system is up and working again, but you need to wait 30 minutes for lightning.
