I HAVE MY TEAM – NOW WHAT?

PLAYER REGISTRATION FORMS - MEDICAL RELEASE

• Contains the emergency medical release information, must be with the team at all practices, games, and team activities.
• It is a good idea to make an extra copy of each player’s form; keep one set for the coach, the assistant coach, and team parent. If there are no medical release forms at the fields – there will be NO practice, NO game.
• Recruit team volunteers (Team Manager, Referees)

REFEREES

A little about referee needs and support from each team

​

• Beginning in 7U and 8U, each match will need one Referee (the one with the whistle in the "center"). Each 7U/8U team should have 1-2 (maybe 3) certified referees. When you combine volunteers from both teams, you have 2-6 people who could officiate the match. This is a great age to start refereeing.

​

REFEREES - Continued

​

• As players move up to 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U, and 19U each match will be officiated with a 3-person referee crew that consists of a Referee and two Assistant Referees (or ARs, who assist the referee along the touchline, or sideline, and are the ones holding the flag). Each team should have 3-4 (maybe 5) certified referees. This way, you have 6-10 people who could officiate the match when you combine the volunteers from both teams.
