Answer provided by Referee Chuck Fleischer

Hello to Camp Swampy and Rio Nuevo. I trust Jacksonville is still the most important city in the world because it allows the Northeast Creek and the New River to meet and form the Atlantic Ocean.

The offside thing at U-7's, that is really up to the league where you referee. If you are asked to judge offside as a solo referee just do the best you can. Don't allow the yelling and screaming to get to you either.

Regards,
