On August 7, 2012 the Jackson City Council
recognized JAWS at their meeting with a plaque. In attendance were Susan, Bob,
Bobby, Alex and Pope.
Here is a copy of the press release.
The Board of Directors of the Jackson Area Wide Soccer Association (JAWS)
recently announced that it will commit to the City of Jackson up to $25,000 to
be used toward the renovation of the fields at Kate Campbell and other
maintenance and improvements to the City of Jackson soccer fields. This
commitment will be the first of an ongoing pledge to provide the City of Jackson
every three years of up to $25,000 for maintenance of soccer fields.
JAWS hopes that this pledge of up to $25,000 will help bring the fields at Kate Campbell Park back up to
standards, and provide a safe field of play; as well as providing additional
funding for maintenance over the next 3 years. JAWS understands the importance
of maintenance and has assisted the City of Jackson in the past with projects
directed solely toward field maintenance.
It
is JAWS’ hope that in the future, donations to the City of Jackson can be used
for the purpose of undertaking new projects (example: lights for North Park, New
Soccer Complex, etc.), developing new programs (example: soccer for South
Jackson, 3v3 tournament, etc.) and continuing to grow soccer in Jackson.

New Rules for U6
Division
These rules have been changed
to teach and develop young
soccer players in a fun
environment.
NO PLAYER
DROP-OFFS on either field are allowed.
There needs to be a parent or guardian at the
field site at all times.
UNDER 6 BOYS & GIRLS
All rules conform to the FIFA laws of the game except as follows:
The 1st half of each session will be
instructional time with Isaac Brooks or assistant (if needed). This will be on
half of field 4A. Each week they will work on different parts of the game
(dribbling, passing, kicking, trapping the ball, etc). The 2nd half
of the session time the players will be divided up to play 3 v 3 games. There
will be coaches to ensure that all players get touches on the ball. The coaches
will need parent volunteers on each field to replace any out of bounds balls.
The coach will be looking for parent volunteers for each session. There will be
no assigned positions and no goalies. At this age the best way for children to
learn soccer is to kick the ball as many times as possible.
1. There are 4
fields of 3 v 3 for each game. Field size is 25 yds. x 20 yds. The center
circle radius is 4 yds.
2. The ball size is #3.
3. 3 v. 3. Boys and girls play on the same
group. Group rosters are a maximum of 24. Each group
needs a minimum of 2 players per field to start
a game. There are no goal keepers.
4. The referee or coach must briefly explain all
infractions to the offending player.
5. The coach should help the players.
6. Games are 3 rotations of 8 minutes each, with
2-minute breaks between quarter
7. On kickoffs if the ball goes directly into
the goal, a goal results.
8. Emphasize fun but do not keep score.
9. There are no offside offenses, but the
referee may warn for cherry picking.
10. All fouls result in a direct free kick. This
means the ball does not need to touch another player before scoring.
11. Opposing players must be at least 4 yards
from the ball during all re-starts (kick-ins, free kicks, goal kicks and corner
kicks.)
12. No throw-ins; instead use kick-ins. A
kick-in is a direct free kick, a goal may be scored on a kick-in.
13. Play goal kicks from in front of the goal
when the ball goes over the end line off the offense.
14. Corner kicks conform to FIFA.
15. There are no penalty kicks or display of
cards for misconduct.
Under
6 Coaches
Coaches will sign up for a practice field. There
will be 4 areas available on for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evening practices.
Each coach will get 4 to 8 volunteer assistants for
each week day practice. There will be 4 different fun games used in practice
like Cat and Mouse, Red light Green light, etc. will be played. One or two
volunteers will assist each game. The players will rotate around to the
different games.
On game days the coach will get volunteers to
assist each 3 V 3 field to make sure all the players on their field get touches
on the ball. The volunteers will also help with substitution and if the ball
goes out of bounds.

FINALLY ~ 501-C3
Jackson Area Wide Soccer has been working for the last three plus years to
achieve tax exempt 501-C3 status. As of 7/15/10, JAWS received the letter of
certification from the IRS granting this status. Thanks to everyone for the
hard work and dedication to finally achieving this tax exempt status.
The Hurricanes Under 10 (U10) boys soccer team, a member of
JAWS (Jackson Area Wide Soccer) won their division at the Columbia TN Kohl’s
America Cup Soccer Tournament November 3 & 4. The Hurricanes finished the
tournament a perfect 5-0, defeating other teams from across Tennessee on the way
to the championship.
Kohl’s sponsored the Columbia, TN soccer tournament held at
Cook Soccer Park. Teams from all recreational divisions were invited to send
teams. Teams from Jackson included the Hurricanes, TN Rush U10, and JSC Wolves
U8.
