Week 3 Fall 2025

Just a few reminders: 

BE EARLY – At least 30 minutes prior to your first game. Coaches, and your crew mates, get worried and start calling me, and I am working games too. Being late to games is a reason to be moved down a level.

Save yourself some trouble and cover this pregame routine with coaches:

  • Good Pre Game is Critical & Required (TSSA)
    • Confirm Time of half and Thank the Coach for coaching
    • Sidelines: “Coach you control the Sideline. Any issue I only talk to you”
    • Substitions: “Anytime at my whistle at midway point, please”
    • Angles: “Remember coach, I have a different Angle and we play on”

Remember No Dogs on School properties. Don’t start the game till the dog leaves the school. 

Wear the full Referee Kit. Look good, Look professional and you will be respected more.

Scroll down for a link to referee fees. U8-U10 have quarters and free subs at any point during the game. 

NO PETS ON ANY FIELD AT ANY TIME: PYLUSD POLICY

JUSA is liable and at risk of losing our field permits. Licensed service animals are the exception. Tell your spectators to leave all pets at home. A pet can cause a forfeit! Referees have been instructed not to start a game with a pet on the sideline.

Portapotties: The combo lock code is 115 or 911. Please lock the door when you are done. School bathrooms are not open on the weekends.

Jewelry: No jewelry is allowed. ALL earrings must be removed (even recently pierced ones). If a player has a permanent bracelet, it must be covered with a sweatband or athletic tape.

Game Card / Player Cards / Ref Fees:

Each team must provide a Game Card to the referee with their full roster (click the link below for a template). List your players by jersey number. The center ref will check the players names with your laminated player card sheet (don’t cut it), before the game begins. No player without a player card will be allowed to play. U5 – U6 do not need to do this.

Each team pays HALF of the ref fees listed on the fee schedule. Your referee check should be split into 10 games.
