[ayso45-refs] AYSO: Referee procedures for Saturday 9/1

[Beau James]

*Coaches *and *Refs*,

Many teams are still working on recruiting team referees. Some of those 
who have volunteered as team referees have not yet taken or not yet 
completed the referee training classes. Some team referees will be away 
for the Labor Day weekend.

For the "practice" games on 9/1, please follow these guidelines as best 
you can.

*U7 and U8*

    The home team's team referee should be the referee for the match. If
    s/he is not available this weekend or is not trained, the visiting
    team's team referee should take over as the referee for the match.
    If neither team has a trained referee, then one of the coaches or
    assistant coaches should act as the referee.

*U10*

    We do not have U10 referee captains to schedule the referees
    (center) this weekend.

    The home team's team referee should be the referee (center) for the
    match. If s/he is not available or is not yet trained, the visiting
    team's team referee should take over as the referee for the match.
    The referee should use any other trained referees present as
    assistant referees. If no other trained referees are available, then
    the referee should ask the coaches to recruit "club linesmen" from
    the spectators.

*U12 and U14*

    The U12/U14 referee captains/schedulers will do their best to assign
    referee coverage for these matches. We should have enough refs
    available this weekend to cover the referee (center) for all
    matches, and ARs for some. The referee will ask the coaches to
    recruit club linesmen when needed.

    Referees, the U12/U14 scheduling is being done this evening
    (Wednesday 8/29). Please check  your email and your assignments in
    WebYouthSoccer as early on Thursday as you can. If you cannot cover
    your assignment(s), decline quickly so that we can try to reshuffle.

    And /please /set your referee preferences correctly!


/*Please */use this week and this weekend to recruit more team 
referees.  You and your teams will have a much better season if there 
are trained 3-ref teams at all U10, U12, and U14 matches.

Remember, we're all volunteers, we're all learning, and we're doing it 
for the kids.

Let's get the season off to a great start on Saturday!

Beau
