200 teams from all over the county with over 2000 players kicked off spring soccer last weekend. JUSA runs one of the largest Rec Spring programs in CalSouth. Without Referees, kids can not play this great game. Thanks for making it happen.

Some coaches comments from last weekend:
“Referee did a Good job explaining his calls” 

“Only had 1 ref (for U8), but he was great, very fair and friendly. His primary concern was player safety and he took the time to teach players the correct way to 1) throw in, 2) off-side rules and made it a learning experience for the kids”

“Refs were fair and friendly and personable. I hope to have them again”
Here are few notes for the second week:

1) Player cards: all teams should have player cards. Go ahead and check the cards with the players please. 
2) Pre Game with coaches: make sure you talk with the coaches about sideline behavior and respect. 
3) Be on time: Coaches get nervous and start calling me if they don’t see a referee. 

4) Talk with your Whistle!  Be vocal. Tell the players and coaches about the foul. 

5) The designated home team listed on the schedule pays 100% of the fees!

Thanks for being a ref this weekend!
