Information

Who needs training?

Anyone who is going to referee a game this season. This includes the U6/U8 coaches/refs, the U10 and U12 center refs, and anyone who will be assisting (line refs or AR's).

When is training?

It depends on what level you are going to ref. See the above class schedule or the calendar for training dates and times.

Who is responsible for providing referees for each game?

This depends, again, on the age division.
a) U6 division: The team may supply a referee. Otherwise both coaches will jointly referee the game.

b) U8 division: Each team is responsible for providing a referee when they are the home team. The referee can be anyone who has gone through the Referee Class.

b) U10 division: The home team will be responsible for providing a center referee for their own game. Each team is responsible for providing an assistant ref for their own game.

c) U12 through U19 divisions: We will attempt to schedule a center and 2 assistant referees for each game. However, of there are no assistant refs, each team shall provide an assistant for the game.

Please note that ALL referees can do assistant referee duties in the upper divisions.

REFEREES CODE:
Always remember that the game is for the players. Player safety and fair play come first.
Study and learn the laws of the Game and understand the "spirit" of the Laws. Help fellow referees do the same.
Encourage and enforce the AYSO Philosophies of "Everyone Plays," "Positive Coaching" and "Good Sportsmanship."
Respect other referees' decisions and do not publicly criticize another official.
Wear the proper uniform and keep it in good condition.
Maintain good physical condition so you can keep up with the action.
Stay calm when confronted with emotional reactions from players, coaches and parents.
Honor accepted game assignments. In an emergency, find a replacement.
Support good sportsmanship with a kind word to players, coaches and parents of both teams when deserved.
Always be fair and impartial, avoiding conflicts of interest. Decisions based on personal bias are dishonest and unacceptable.
