US Soccer Memo
The U.S. Soccer Federation Referee Program sent a memo regarding padded goal structures. An issue has recently arisen regarding whether, under the Laws of the Game, the goalposts and/or the crossbar may be padded.  Despite these understandable concerns and good intentions, U.S. Soccer cannot approve the use of padding on goalposts or crossbars in affiliated matches.
