Thanks for being a JUSA Ref. Here are a few notes/reminders for the weekend.

1) Focus on your pre game with the coaches. Take a few more minutes to establish a relationship. Introduce yourself, thank them for coaching, tell them you will probably miss a foul.
2) Lock combo should be 1949.
3) Most coaches will have player cards but not all. If they don’t have cards, ask them to pick them up at the office before next weekend.
4) No Dogs! No Dogs! No Dogs! on any school property.
5) U8 modifications:
Be lenient about the rules and help teach the game and always keep safety in mind.
a) No penalty kick

Super thanks for refereeing. JUSA appreciates it. 
1) It may rain overnight which may close fields. Look for an email in the early morning otherwise go to the field. 
2) Be Kind and Patient with parents, coaches and players. Rec players may still be learning and having fun. 
3) Don’t be afraid to call a foul. Have confidence. You know the laws!
4) Be early to the game. Believe it or not, coaches love to see the yellow jersey at the game.

-Slide Tackles are not permitted. An indirect free kick shall be awarded to the opposing team.

Next JUSA Ref Meeting is Wed, Oct 12, 7 pm at Yorba Linda Community Center. Prizes and fun guaranteed! 

Hope you are having fun this fall being a referee. JUSA and the Kids are very appreciative that you are out there on the field.

1) Player cards: There are still a few teams without cards. If they have cards, go ahead and check the cards with the players please. Cards are not required.
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. Be there 30 min before the game. 

4) Start your game on time: games can back up quickly over the day and everyone gets in a foul mood. 

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

6) No Dogs! No Dogs! No Dogs!   Coaches know that there should be no dogs on school fields.
