24 REFEREE U9

25 REFEREE LIAISON The abuse of game officials by coaches and spectators is the main reason why referees (especially those in their early teens) drop out of the development program. As a result, we face severe shortages of game officials at all levels. Addressing this unacceptable behavior is a top priority for EMSA, particularly if minor soccer is to have an adequate supply of referees. The referee liaison can be any person over the age of 18, with the exception of the teams registered coaching staff. This role is to be taken very seriously and the goal of this role is to keep the parents and coaches in the game following the rules as set forth in code of conduct as well as maintaining respect for the referees and opposing team. This role is not in place for the referee liaison to question any calls made by the refs. 1/2

26 REFEREE LIAISON DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES: Wear the referee liaison neck lanyard. Place yourself in the middle of your team s spectators. Monitor the behavior of your teams spectators and coaching staff. Quickly diffuse potential issues before they escalate by either making your presence more visible, or calmly addressing the behavior with the person(s) involved. Address inappropriate comments, gestures, and/or any other unsporting behavior directed at the game officials, players, coaching staff or any other individual by your teams spectators. Submit a brief report in writing, outlining any incidents involving any individuals, to the referee after the game. This will be turned into the EMSA League Director and they will conduct an investigation at their discretion. EMSA West contact: soccer@ewzsa.com 2/2
