1 | SJSOA Yellow Cards to Coaches | |||||||||||||||
2 | The South Jersey Soccer Officials Association and the League of Leagues are working together to better the athletic experience for all involved. This tracking pilot program aims to change the culture of inappropriate, irresponsible, and unprofessional behavior by coaches. It aims to enforce accountability. Creating a better environment will hopefully lessen referee abuse, leading to better referee retention rates, less game cancellations, and an overall better environment for the student athletes. From the NFHS Rule Book, Coaches Code of Ethics: "Coaches shall respect and support contest officials. Coaches shall not indulge in conduct which would incite players or spectators against the officials. Public criticism of officials or players is unethical." | |||||||||||||||
