Last year AYSO instituted a rule prohibiting deliberate heading for players 11 years old and younger (12 years old if your league's age bracket goes from U-10 to U-12, i.e. no U-11). This is an extension of the old rule that prohibited deliberate heading for U-10. The penalty is an indirect free kick for the other side. Kids who play club soccer sometimes have a hard time adjusting, but adjust they do after their goals are disallowed. There are restrictions on heading for older kids as well, although I haven't had to learn them yet since my son will be playing U-11 this fall.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)

hence the moniker "Cordivot"

That's the correct decision, and a brave one to make. Hopefully he stepped away in time to prevent serious issues later.Â

Things that stood out from the roster update:
1. Only three FBs on the roster, but six TEs - Just a few years ago Shaw used to talk about having six FBs on the roster as an indicator of how Stanford is a run-oriented team. Can't help but think they are moving in a direction where they don't want teams to load up on stopping the run as much as in the past.
2. Sione Lund is listed as a RB, NOT a FB, at 6-1 254. This would be the biggest RB Stanford has ever had that I can remember. I don't think there has been enough enthusiasm expressed for Lund as a RB in the Stanford program.
3. Conor Wedington is listed as RB/WR, indicating he's expected to possibly play a CMac-type role in the offense. It remains to be seen how good he can be as a receiver, but based on the RB depth chart, guessing he will be used more as a WR than as a RB over his Stanford career.

Almost certainly, Sarell and Little will be regulars early on and probable starters at some point this year. Their talent is just too exceptional.
In addition, Wedington just may be another of those players whose talent will be too great to redshirt, especially on special teams, punt return and kickoff return.
My 4th candidate to play early is St. Brown who appears to have the genetics and work ethic of a McCaffrey, the hands of an Irwin, the discipline to get open like A-W and the speed to burn defenses.
