TPSC Instructions for U-8 and U-10 REC Referees

THANK YOU
to all of our TPSC Referees!

 

 
Safety Note about Goalposts!
Since 1979, there have been 27 deaths in the United States alone from goalposts that have fallen over on players. DO NOT USE unanchored goalposts. Period! Before practice and games, make sure that the posts are anchored/staked/weighted to the ground. If you find goalposts that are not anchored for games, let the club know immediately.

 

Think you know what a handball is?
Are you sure?
Read this and be enlightened!

Dear Parents, Coaches, Managers:

Please take a minute to read this as there has been an important change in referee rules that apply to class I, III and IV teams. Please also forward this on to players, parents, etc who might possibly become certified referees.

DISTRICT V RULE CHANGED TO REQUIRE AGE-APPROPRIATE REFEREES OR SUFFER FORFEITURE:

District V has amended its referee rule (3:08:06) to provide that the home team's failure to provide age appropriate (2 years older than the age group playing) referees will result in forfeiture. Class I games require 3 age appropriate referees for all age groups. Class III and IV games require one age appropriate referee for U-10s and U-12s, two for U-14s and three for U-16s and above. So, we have to provide the required number of age appropriate referees for these games and the failure to do so now will result in forfeitures. For obvious reasons, it is important that we train as many people as possible to become certified referees!

Referees-In-Training Course Information


Become a Referee!

See Why Be A Referee? and TPSC Referee Pay Scale

Both Tiburon and Mill Valley will sponsor Entry-Level Referee Courses. Details here. Mill Valley courses are via the link below. Neighboring leagues also hold courses that are usually available for Tiburon/Mill Valley residents. Contact John Gulick at the link above for more details. Tiburon courses are free to TPSC members.

The TPSC will reimburse youth referees ages 16 and under up to $45 for the cost of their referee uniforms and will also pay for the referee license fee for all referees.

Please pass the word about this course to team members, parents and anyone else you know who might be interested in refereeing. For kids, it is a great way to make some extra money. (For the the upcoming season, children should be 12 years old by September.) For parents, it is a great way to help our kids and our soccer program.

When are other referee clinics held?
Dates and contact information can be found on the California North Referee Association Website. (Note the different requirements for Grade 8 and Grade 9 certifications.) Here is a link to that site ...
