This weekend my son was playing a soccer game and a situation occurred that no one knew, with confidence, the correct rule interpretation. His team was doing a corner kick and the ball was kicked directly into the goal by a player on the other team.

By rule, would that count as an assist for the person that took the corner kick? I would assume that it wouldn’t because if I had to guess an assist can only count when a player on the same team scores.

Just an own goal. You don’t get an assist for it.

Unless Harry Kane is on the team, why does anyone care?

Hells yea, call it an assist. There are no stats like that in youth soccer though. No one even tracks goals, much less assists.

BRSC?

Unfortunately no hot single moms. At least not on our team. We do have a few married ones that drive vans, so I guess that is a true stereotype.

It really isn't a big deal and no one cares about stats for our 8 year old soccer...well other than one mom. I was asking because I am still learning about the sport and I never thought about the situation before. It started a mini discussion among the parents (cool group of parents, but not many have advanced soccer knowledge). I was curious because I am always trying to learn as much as I can about sports and/or activities that my kids are into and I figured here was as good of a place as any to ask.

My son has taken an interest in keeper. He plays half the games there and half as a forward. Watching him play keeper is the most stressed I have been watching either of them play any sport. He seems to really like the position, so of course I'll support him. I might have to buy some self-help stress books...or start drinking.

Anyway thanks for answering.

My son played goalie in U8 as well, it was stressful. He's a U13 now and let me tell you something...welcome to the rabbit hole. It's deeper than you could ever imagine. Crazy stuff. Get him into a good academy for U10.


So many weekends...these are only 1st and 2nds...and this picture is old, there're more now.

It sounds like an own goal from your description, unless the ball was already going into the goal and was deflected.

But why even care about stats like that? Are parents really discussing that on the sideline? Who cares.

Because it wasn’t really a discussion about stats. It was more about discussing a situation in the game. It started out as a joke and then turned into a discussion because, like I said, a lot of us are still learning. Another situation that occurred that I had no idea was a rule was when our other goalie was penalized for scooping up a ball in his box that was kicked to him by one of his teammates. I had no idea he couldn’t do that. Live and learn.

Wow good for him. That is a lot accomplishments.

There is a guy that is affiliated with the area club teams that does free keeper (had to learn that term) lessons for anyone that shows up. He does private lessons too. He seems to really know his business and the kids really seem to dial into what he is saying.

Yep. It has to be an intentional pass with the foot or leg to be illegal. If it's unintentional (referee's discretion) or the teammate uses his chest or head (really anything other than the legs), the keeper can pick it up.
