6 GUIDELINES 1. Blow the whistle for poor throw-ins under 7. Explain why? (if they lifted a foot or didn't put the ball fully behind their head). Give them an extra try. For Under 9 call the play but do not give them a second chance. 2. There is a 3 goal rule for mini soccer in our Club. A player is only allowed to score 3 goals and anything more is not counted. 3. Always remember to check the game start time and field numbers. Also if you have a sibling playing please ask another referee to switch fields so you aren't refereeing their game. 4. Check your uniform over and make sure you have your cards with you too. 5. Check player s equipment (shin pads are a requirement; shirts need to be tucked in). 6. Maintain the teaching philosophy that we have. You are there to direct the children in learning both the game and fair play. Remember to introduce yourself to the coaches before each game and to shake hands after the game. Uniform Uniform must be black referee shirt with O.S.A. badge. Black shorts, black or white knee socks, running shoes, absolutely no hats, whistle, pencil, coin, watch and very important (binder which you will record the goals in the game as well as date, time, team names, field number, coaches name and signatures. This is your game records for the amount of games you do and the amount you will get paid. No binder- No sheets- No payment. Rescheduling of games If you cannot work your scheduled game it is up to you to find your replacement. This is just like a job and you must act responsibly. Please phone the respective referee coordinator after the change has been made. Talk to each coach at the beginning of the game to confirm playing rules such as how many substitutions will be allowed and when, the length of each half of play, all substituted players must be off the field before new substitutes will be allowed on. No rolled up sleeves on the uniforms etc. Before the game, ensure the parents and spectators setting up lawn chairs; do so well back off the fields. If there is a problem with this please approach the coaches. For some of you, this will be your first time that you have refereed and the Club hopes you enjoy the experience and become comfortable in your new role. It is a big change going from a player to a referee. There will be a lot of things to learn and people can get upset if they feel you have not made the correct call. By trying to be as near to the play with a good angle on the players challenging for possession of the ball, you will no doubt be able to judge what is going on and make the appropriate calls. Please remember to review your Laws of the Game booklet on a regular basis. Have a great season! Have fun and we will see you on the soccer fields.

7 TIPS FOR STANDARD PRE-GAME DUTIES FOR REFEREES 1. Be at the field at least 15 minutes before the game. 2. It's a good idea, before you go to the field, or if you get there early, to quickly go over the "laws of the game." 3. Check field for debris and field conditions. 4. Ask home team coach for game sheet and game ball. Always be polite. 5. Call Captains to midfield. 6. Tell Captains about loose Jewelry to be removed (except medical alert bracelets). This is at the referee s discretion, don't get carried away with it. 7. Home team calls the coin toss - winner of toss chooses which end they will defend only - loser of toss gets opening kick. Inform them game will start in 2 minutes and "Have a good game"

8 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 1. The duration of halves and the size of the ball to be used in games shall be in accordance with the following table: Age Division Half Game Duration Ball Size Under minutes 3 Under 6 20 minutes 40 minutes 3 Under 7 20 minutes 40 minutes 3 Under 8 25 minutes 50 minutes 4 Under 9 25 minutes 50 minutes 4 Under minutes 60 minutes 4 Under minutes 70 minutes 4 Under minutes 80 minutes 5 Under minutes 90 minutes 5 2. Summer Rule: Inclusive for Under 11 to Under 18 only. No youth team shall be permitted to field more players than the opposing team. The Coach of the team with the fewest players may not keep any player on the sidelines as a substitute and expect the opposing team to play with the same number of players. The opposing Coach has every right to field as many players as the Coach with the fewer players has. If any more players arrive for the team with the fewer players after the game has started, the Coach must put those players on the field at the next available opportunity. These include goal kicks, throw-ins, when an injury has occurred, after a goal or at the beginning of the second half. At that time, the opposing Coach may send out an equal number of players. If a player on the team with fewer players is injured and cannot continue playing, the opposing Coach is not obligated to take a player off to match numbers again. The opposing team will continue to play with the same number of players on the field as it was playing before the injury occurred. This is for regular season only, not playoff games. Please contact the Club Office at (905) if you have any questions or concerns.
