You are a JUSA ref this weekend! We had a great first week. Here are a  few reminders for the second week:Focus on your pre game with coaches.

Please cover: 

1) Introduce yourself and thank them for coaching

2) Confirm the time of the half: 25 min? 30min?

3) Confirm the substitution rules (unlimited)

4) Sidelines: the coach has control of the parents on the sidelines5) Angles: You have a different angle and you may see something different than him. And we just need to play on! 

It is going to be hot! Take water breaks!

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.

FEES
Each Team pays half. Collect money from each coach. The split is 40% for center, 30% for each AR.  Print out the fee schedule. There is a Ref meeting Monday nIght,3/23

No Dogs: Schools do not allow animals on their fields. Please ask the coach to ask the parent to remove the animals. We rent the fields from the schools and can not risk losing the fields due to an animal. At City Park fields, animals should be at least 15 yards away from the field. Did I tell you there is a ref meeting Monday night 3/23? 

PLAYER CARDS

Player Cards are required. Please check them against the players and game card. 

RULES
If you’ve never done U8 before, REVIEW THE Build Out line rules.
Review the attached Quick Reference Guides. Ref Meeting is Monday, 3/23

Substitutions:

JUSA Recreational U8, U9, and U10 play QUARTERS in the spring. However, Unlimited substitutions can happen throughout the game. What time is the ref meeting Monday?

Game Cards: Coaches should hand you a completed card for you to check players against cards. 

Next Ref Meeting is Monday March 23rd 7 PM at YLCC. Great Gift for all in attendance!

Spring Soccer is here, players are ready to kick the ball, Coaches are ready to teach, parents are ready to cheer and you are ready to blow the whistle! 
Read below for some first week reminders. Spring has outside teams playing in the JUSA Rec league (the largest in SoCal with over 170 teams). Spring is less competitive and designed to develop players. Have Fun!

 1) BE EARLY – At least 30 minutes prior to your first game. Coaches, and your crew mates, get worried and start calling me. Referees must be in full Referee Kit. Yellow is the primary JUSA color and will not conflict with JUSA teams.

2) NO PETS ON SCHOOL FIELDS AT ANY TIME: PYLUSD POLICY

JUSA is liable and at risk of losing our field permits. Licensed service animals are the exception. Do not start a game with a pet on the sideline. At public parks, animals need to be 15 yards from sidelines. 

3) Game Card / Player Cards 

• Each team must provide a Game Card to the referee with their full roster. The center ref will check the players names against the laminated player card sheet before the game begins. 
• Outside teams may not have cards the first week, let them play! 
• Some JUSA players will have a Blue Temporary card good for that day only. They are borrowed players — let them play. See attached card sample. 

4) Ref Fees: Each team pays HALF of the ref fees listed on the fee schedule. 

5) Seating Arrangements:

• All spectators sit to the left of the team bench, never behind the AR or the goals. 

6) Pre Game with Coaches:

A) Thank you for Coaching

B) Time: confirm the length of the half

C) Unlimited Subs in the Spring: Free subs on my whistle even if their are quarters

D)Sidelines: Coach has control of the sidelines, do not engage with parents

E) Angle: “I may have a different angle than you Coach, and we play on”

7) Print the Cheat sheet, ref fees, and review the spring presentation
