The history of

Heartland Soccer Association


Did you know? HSA was founded in 1977 as the Johnson County Soccer League to promote youth soccer in Johnson County, Kansas. Starting with 600 players initially split geographically according to school districts, the league’s growth led to the establishment of the Kansas Premier Soccer League (KPSL) a few years later. In 1995, KPSL joined Johnson County Soccer as a member club, unifying to become Heartland Soccer Association. Today, we stand as a nonprofit and educational youth soccer association, having grown to be the largest and most competitive youth soccer league in the United States.

4 Tips for Using Peer-to-Peer Payment Apps


Whether you are splitting the bill at a restaurant with friends, paying back your parents, or buying snacks at a sporting event, it is hard to beat the convenience of peer-to-peer (P2P) payment apps like Venmo, Zelle, Google Pay, Cash App, and PayPal.


With these apps, you don’t have to worry about finding an ATM or carrying a bunch of cash at all times. Instead, P2P apps are typically linked to your bank account and let you send or receive money instantly. 

Win-win, right? Well, yes and no. There is no denying the speed and convenience of P2P apps. But they aren’t risk-free, so make sure you’re aware of potential pitfalls before you hit Send.


Here are 4 tips for using Peer-to-Peer Payment Apps:


1. Once It’s Sent, It’s Gone

When you use peer-to-peer payments, all you need is someone’s username, email address, or phone number. You don’t know their account details, and they don’t know yours. Transfers are typically free and lightning-quick.


Before you fire off money, make sure you’re sending it to someone you know and trust. Because once that money is gone, it’s typically gone for good. There is little to no fraud protection with most P2P apps, unlike the protections that exist with traditional credit cards and bank accounts.


Exercise major caution before using peer-to-peer payments with people you don’t know and remember it’s best to stick with friends and family.



2. Check Twice, Send Once

Even if you’re sending payment to someone you know IRL, it’s still easy to mess up-are they HenrySmith21 or HenrySmith22? Double-check you’ve got the right person before you send a payment. You could send a small amount, like $1, to verify before following up with a larger payment. Or, if you’re sending payment for the first time, some apps, like Venmo, ask for the last four-digits of a person’s phone number.


Be extra careful with requested payments. P2P apps are an easy target for scammers. It may be obvious to not send money to people you don’t know, but double-or triple-check before paying requested amounts even from people you know. Scammers can easily impersonate someone from your social feed by changing their username and profile picture. Reach out to them outside the app to confirm that the request is legit.


3. Know Your Fees

There is no cost to send or receive money with many P2P apps, but most have fees for added services. For instance, most offer free balance transfer to your linked bank account within one to three days, but include a surcharge for instant transfer.

P2P apps usually draw from the balance in your account or your linked bank account. But if you use a credit card to make P2P payments instead, you will be hit with a transaction fee, too. 


Some P2P apps have rolled out “buy now, pay later” offers that let you pay for purchases over a set amount of weeks or months, often without interest. But even if these offers have no interest, there are usually penalties and interest for late payments, just like loans or credit cards. 


4. Use Common Sense

With any payments that include social posts-like emoji-filled Venmo notes-act maturely and be smart about what you post. Even posts set to private can be used in legal disputes.


Make sure your P2P apps have password or other protections, like Face ID, so someone can’t pick up or “borrow” your phone to use the app to siphon money from your account. 

It is best to keep your running balance fairly low. Peer-to-peer apps aren’t a great place to store or save money. Do not view them as a replacement for traditional bank or credit union accounts. Think of them instead as convenient supplement, and be careful about how and when you use them.

This Month in History:

21 June 1970 - Brazil Literally Wins The World Cup

On 21 June 1970, Brazil became the first team to win three World Cup trophies, beating Italy 4-

1 in that year's Final. In that match, Pelé became the first (and to date only) player to win three

trophies and Brazil manager Mário Zagallo became the first person to win trophies as a player

and coach.


Playing before a crowd of 107,412 at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Pelé opened the scoring with a powerful 18th-minute header. Italy found a first-half equalizer in the 37th minute thanks to confusion between Brazilian keeper Félix and defender Hércules Brito. As the keeper rushed forward to stop the Italian attack, Brito charged in and knocked the ball away, allowing

Italian forward Roberto Boninsegna to slot it into an open net.

Level at 1-1 at the break, the second half belonged to Brazil. Gérson put them up 2-1 with a low driving shot from outside the box in the 66th minute. Five minutes later, a long pass found Pelé in the box and he headed the ball down into the path of the charging Jairzinho, who bundled it into the net. The scoring ended in the 86th minute as a precise Brazilian build-up involving eight different players resulted in a Pelé pass to captain Carlos Alberto, who blasted the ball home

from about 10 yards out. It was a brilliant example of Brazil's now famous style of play.

With their third World Cup title, Brazil were allowed to keep the trophy. Unfortunately, it was

stolen in 1983 and has never been recovered.

Congratulations to all of our league champions! We are so proud of all your hard work and accomplishments during the spring season. We can't wait to see what you bring to the field in the fall!

List of Division Champions!

Dear All,

 

Please know that if you are utilizing guest players for Heartland league, you must submit the physical guest player forms to the referee when checking in.

The guest player card must be present and they have to be added to the line-up card.

 

Here are the rules…..

 

3.4 GUEST, MULTIPLE ROSTER PLAYERS & CLUB PASSES A maximum of three guest players are allowed per team per game, except for U15 Divisions. Those divisions will have a 5-guest player limit during their gender specific high school seasons. Boys will have a 5-player limit in the Fall only and girls in the Spring only. Teams may not exceed the maximum number of players allowed on the game day roster by adding guest players. Players may only play for one team within a subdivision, i.e., they may not dual roster or guest play with another team in the same sub division. Players may guest play or dual roster “up”, but not “down” within their age group. For example, a U14 Division 2 primary rostered player may guest play with a Division 1 team, but not with a Division 3 team. That player may NOT play in any division lower than Division 2 in his/her own age group. A player primary rostered to a team that is older than his/her actual age group may guest or dual roster with a team playing in highest division of his/her actual age group. For example, an actual U14 player who is primary rostered to a U15 team may play as a guest or dual roster player with a U14 Division 1 team. Once a player has played a game for their primary roster team, they are not permitted to change their primary status and play for a lower division team within the league for that season. They are also not permitted to play for a second team within that division during that season.



Players can only double roster or guest play up to 2 divisions within an age group. E.G. A U10 D4 primary rostered player, can only guest play or be secondary rostered to a U10 D2 team and no higher. Players can guest play or be secondary rostered up to the next age group without limitations. All guest player forms must be taken to the game and submitted to the referee. Failure to do so will result in the player being excluded from the game and possibly a forfeit.

 

Thanks,

Heartland Staff

Three Jar Allowance for Kids


The Three Jar System is a popular way to begin teaching children how to budget. With this system, you give your child three clear jars, each representing a different fund: spending, saving, and giving. The child will then divide their money into the jars with your guidance. Budgeting their money in this way teaches children to actively plan for their current and future wants. Encourage your child to stick to their budget. If they fall short in one category, the goal is to help the child modify their behavior or budget instead of pulling from another jar. For example, if your child would like to spend more money than they have in the spending jar, they should re-prioritize their wants, earn more money, or rethink their budget instead of pulling from the saving or giving jars. 


The Saving Jar

The Saving Jar teaches kids to set and work toward goals. This shouldn’t be money put away for a nebulous purpose. It should be specific. Does your child want to save up for a new game? Or perhaps a certain toy? Help your child determine what they want and then, every time they go to separate their money into their jars, remind them that the more money they’re willing to give up now, the sooner they can reach this goal. 


It could help to create a general “rule” with your child, like 30% of their money should always go to savings or for every $2 in the spending jar, one should go to saving-however you and your child decide to prioritize and divide the money is fine. The goal is to impart the importance of saving and begin building the habit. 


The Spending Jar

The Spending Jar is all about what kids want to buy now. This is how they finance little things like candy bars or trinkets at the grocery store. This budget can also include budgeting for bigger things like clothing, school supplies, or even food if you decide to want your child to pay for some of those things themselves. Just remember that you need to give them an avenue to earn the money to cover whatever you expect them to pay for. 


The Giving Jar

The Giving Jar encourages children to think about others. Help them choose a cause that’s important to them, perhaps a charity that supports an animal they like or a Secret Santa fund for a family in your community. The giving jar can also go toward gifts for other people- a birthday gift for a friend, a thank you present for a teacher, etc. When it comes to donating the money they have saved, do your best to find a way to show them the impact of their generosity. Even a little goes a long way.

Summer is certainly a time of relaxation and quality family time, but also a great time to organize friendly competitions and soccer activities to keep the whole family active and entertained. Whether it's with teammates or neighborhood friends, consider organizing a game of soccer, a skills challenge, a round of mini-golf, relay races, etc to continue to promote teamwork and good health. 


Don’t forget too that the offseason is a great time for teammates to gather together. It helps build team chemistry, physical conditioning, skill development, and building trust. It’s also a great time for emerging leaders or team captains to step up and try out different leadership roles, ultimately making it a smoother transition to leadership in the fall. 

SET UP

Divide players into teams of eight, including goalkeepers. Mark out a fairly narrow pitch and split it into thirds. 


HOW TO PLAY

Play a normal small-sided game. Both teams set up 3-2-2 in possession and a 1-4-2 out of possession. If the out-of-possession team wins the ball back in their attacking third, a goal scored then counts double. The final third line also acts as an offside line. The pitch is intentionally narrow to force forward passes to provide repetition for the out-of-possession team in trying to prevent these. 


COACHING POINTS

Two center-forwards must block passes through the center

Units should work on spacing, shifting with the play and shape

Fast attacking transition.

NO BS!

Referee Corner: Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct …. 


 This month we will look at Law 12 to better understand the guidance to Referees for calling a foul that restarts with an Indirect Free Kick restart. Law 12 and consider additional disciplinary actions. If you remember from an article earlier in the season the Laws state “if an offense involves contact, it is penalized by a Direct Free Kick.”

Law 12, Section 2 states that an Indirect Free Kick is awarded if a player:

  • Plays in a dangerous manner
  • Playing in a dangerous manner is any action that, while trying to play the ball, threatens injury to someone (including the player themselves) and includes preventing a nearby opponent from playing the ball for fear of injury. 
  • A scissors or bicycle kick is permissible provided that it is not dangerous to an opponent
  • Impedes the progress of an opponent without any contact being made
  • Impeding the progress of an opponent means moving into the opponent’s path to obstruct, block, slow down or force a change of direction when the ball is not within playing distance of either player
  • All players have a right to their position on the field of play; being in the way of an opponent is not the same as moving into the way of an opponent
  • A player may shield the ball by taking a position between an opponent and the ball if the ball is within playing distance and the opponent is not held off with the arms or body. If the ball is within playing distance, the player may be fairly charged by an opponent
  • Is guilty of dissent, using offensive, insulting, or abusive and/or action(s) or other verbal offenses
  • Prevents the goalkeeper from releasing the ball from the hands or kicks or attempts to kick the ball when the goalkeeper in in the process of releasing it
  • Initiates a deliberate trick for the ball to be passes (including from a free kick or goal kick) to the goalkeeper with the head, chest, knee, etc. to circumvent the Law, whether or not the goalkeeper touches the ball with the hands; the goalkeeper is penalized if responsible for initiating the deliberate trick
  • Commits any other offense, not mentioned in the Laws, for which play is stopped to caution or send off a player


An indirect free kick is awarded if a goalkeeper, inside their penalty area, commits any of the following offenses:

  • Controls the ball with the hand/arm for more than six seconds before releasing it
  • Touches the ball with the hand/arm after releasing it and before it has touched another player
  • Touches the ball with the hand/arm, unless the goalkeeper has clearly kicked or attempted to kick the ball to release it into play, after:
  • It has been deliberately kicked to the goalkeeper by a team mate
  • Receiving it directly from a throw-in taken by a team mate


A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball with the hand(s) when:

  • The ball is between the hands or between the hand and any surface (e.g., ground, own body) or by touching it with any part of the hands or arms, except if the ball rebounds from the goalkeeper or the goalkeeper has made a save.
  • Holding the ball in the outstretched open hand
  • Bouncing it on the ground or throwing it in the air


Understanding the Laws of the Game and being able to consistently apply them in a dynamic setting is the job of the Referee team. Determining an Indirect Free Kick foul by the Laws of the Game is an important part of the Referee responsibilities. Here are some questions you should answer to help your understanding the Law 12, Indirect Free Kicks:

  1. What is the difference between Direct Free Kicks and Indirect Free Kicks?
  2. What is the signal that the Referee uses to indicate an Indirect Free Kick?
  3. How long should the Referee hold this signal and why?


New Entry Level classes are being posted on the Kansas Referee.org website. Join us and help the game of soccer expand in Heartland.


The Referee Blog


Like every day, every soccer season ends. “Don’t forget that beautiful sunsets need cloudy skies.”  (Paulo Cohelo). In the Referee world we have had our share of sun and clouds this past season. Clouds do make the sunset more beautiful and offer the promise of the sunrise and a new season in the fall.


Let me share some stories from the Spring 2024 season. These stories explore the sunrise, the heat of the day and the sunset, and have been played many times in many matches across many fields and with many Referees.


Sunrise:  We always talk about the number of new Referees that certify each season to deliver the soccer experience to the teams at the Heartland Soccer Association. This past weekend we again had officials doing their very first matches ever. One thing that is consistent is that the experience of being an official creates a nervous energy in these new officials. As we have said many times, they want to do a respectable job and their biggest fear is that they will miss a call. And, we know, they will. This is how we all learn.


One young Referee’s first assignment ever was as an Assistant Referee on U10 matches. This young Referee has been playing at the Academy level since they were 8 years old. They were eager to get their Referee career started. In the first half an attacker was in an offside position and became actively involved in play after his teammate passed the ball to them. The young Assistant Referee immediately recognized that this was an offside infraction and raised the flag. The Referee blew the whistle and justice was delivered by our young Referee team. A great start for another new Referee.


Another young Referee who has been working matches for 2 years was asked to take the whistle. This Referee has done many matches as an Assistant Referee and is very confident in their ability to deliver in this role. However, this Referee had never been the person with the whistle. They were nervous, but they were willing to take the assignment. The match was relatively uneventful until there was a trip in the Penalty Area.  The Referee recognized the foul and blew the whistle and correctly administered the Penalty Kick. After the match I asked her if she would be willing to take the whistle in future matches. The answer was affirmative. 


Just two positive stories about the sunrises in this, the Spring season of 2024.

Heat of the day:   These are the young Referees who have made it through their first couple of seasons and are taking leadership positions in matches. Many of them are not much bigger than the players. They work hard and manage their matches and their Assistants. You are happy when you see them on your field.


One young Referee was doing matches at a recent tournament. This Referee is in their 4th season. The Assistant Referees were much newer (one in their first weekend and the other in their 2nd year). When I asked the Assistant Referees what they thought of the performance of the center, both responded that they thought he was doing a “great job”! I asked why they said this, and they told me that this young Referee was in an advantageous position to make the calls, was keeping up with play, recognized fouls, and blew the whistle loud enough for the players to hear it. The players, coaches and the fans appreciated the efforts of this Referee. Just as important as managing the match, this young Referee was setting an example of what it takes to deliver an effective performance.


This young Referee’s success is the result of knowledge (they are a player), experience (in their 4th season), and effort. Referees like this stand out. The good news is that there are many young Referees who match this profile, both male and female. 

Sunset:   The Spring season is unique because it includes graduations. Many of the officials you are used to seeing doing your matches are finishing one chapter of their lives and moving to the next chapter, which could mean going to college out of the area. We are thrilled for their accomplishments and will be watching them take the next step towards being a contributing member of our society at the next level. Others will age out and make the decision to hang up their whistles and flags. We are all sad that we will be losing experienced officials. 


The good news is that some of these young adults will stay in the area and will continue to make themselves available for Heartland matches. You will see some of them during holidays when they come back and accept assignments.



The sunset will give way to a new sunrise. There will be new parents and players that will make the decision to become a Referee during the off-season. When the sun comes up on the Fall 2024 season, we will start all over again. There will be more sunrises, heat of the day, and sunset moments. The beautiful game will continue to be played. Coaches will continue to coach new skills and tactics. Players will get better, bigger, and faster. And the Referee pool will continue to grow to be ready for the next season.

Of course, “having a go at Refereeing” is an option. If you want to be involved as a decision maker on the field, please join us, and become a certified Referee. Information on clinics can be found at the Kansas Referee website.
