Spring 2023 Week 8

1) it will be hot again. Take water breaks if needed. Especially in the afternoon. Ask the coachesin pre game. 
2) Run with the play! Don’t be a “center circle” ref and make sure if you are the center, run the field. Kids, coaches and parents will appreciate your energy and your close up viewpoint. You want to be neither too close nor too far from the action: 10-12 yards is a good rule of thumb. If you are the AR, run along the touchline, between the halfway line and the goal line, keeping level with the 2nd-to-last-defender or the ball, whichever is closer to the goal line. Keep up! 
3) Be professional: wear the full referee uniform kit. Remember you are getting paid for a great job. 
4) Be on time please. Coaches start calling me if they don’t see you on the field 30 min before the game. 

5) No Dogs! No Dogs! It is a school policy not a JUSA policy. 
6) Enjoy the game and have fun!
