The committee, which met via teleconference last week, supported modifications for protocols for goalkeepers during penalty kicks and where attacking players can stand when the defending team has a wall of three or more players during free kicks. All rules proposals must be approved by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, which is scheduled to discuss soccer recommendations April 20." >> Penalty Kicks: Goalkeepers would be required to have at least part of one foot on or in line with the goal line when the kick is taken. Also, goalkeepers could not be touching the goal posts, crossbar or the net before the kick is taken. >> Free Kicks: Attacking players would be required to be at least 1 yard from a defending team’s wall of three or more players. Attacking players standing very close to, or in, the defensive wall on free kicks often cause management problems and hurt the pace of play of the match. >> Keep Reading from the NCAA 2.

College   "America's smaller colleges and universities, particularly liberal arts colleges, foster a sense of community that is central to their mission. While the current coronavirus crisis presents a challenge to maintaining that sense of community as colleges transition from face-to-face teaching and learning to online education, it is still possible to maintain that sense of community. Here are a few tips for creating community while going remote: Be Personal and Human Emphasize Consistent Communication Embrace the Technology You Are Comfortable Using Prioritize Response and Service Use Whatever Resources You Can, From On- or Off-Campus >> Bottom Line: "We have faced crises before and colleges and universities have consistently been up to the task meeting them. This situation feels different because its duration and impact are so uncertain. However, every college and university is facing this challenge together and the level of sharing and support for each other has truly been unprecedented." >> Keep Reading   SPONSORED MESSAGE Would you like to sponsor this newsletter?
