Our Referees are professionals and act accordingly.

  1. Be at the field 30 minutes prior to kickoff.

  2. Have the proper uniform: black shoes, black socks with 3 stripes, black shorts & approved shirt with current badge.  Shirt should be tucked in and socks pulled up.

  3. Have the proper equipment: whistle, watch, flags, coin, cards & scoring book.

  4. Our senior referees will be observing performance as part of our Mentor Program.  Take any feedback in the positive & constructive manner it is meant.  Be willing to learn & improve.

  5. Show up for your commitments.  If you must miss a game, be sure that your sub will fulfill your commitment.
