Alfred Kleinaitis, USSF National Director of Instruction, will hold a state wide clinic from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. August 1, 2009 at the CARR convention center in Pleasanton, CA. The clinic is open to all referees, assessors and instructors. The emphasis will be on instructional materials for youth matches. This is an excellent opportunity to hear the latest thinking from USSF on the direction being taken for referees doing youth matches. The clinic is free and all referees, assessors and instructors are encouraged to attend. Additional information will be posted on the CNRA (www.cnra.net) web site.
Memorandum 2009
USSF has issued Memorandum 2009 which covers ammendents to The Laws of the Game to generally be implemented on July 1, 2009. There are certain exceptions to the date of implementation; referees should check with their assignors to determine the implementation for that league/club.
USSF publishes the Referee Week in Review which provides the latest interpretations and guidance for referees. The review provides examples based on professional matches with narrative and video clips. Paul Tambarino, USSF Director of Referee Development and Brian Hall, USSF Manager of Assessment and Training, collaborated on this informative publication which breaks down the steps referees should follow in their decision making. It is applicable to referees of all grades. The review is authoritative and is to be used by referee instructors and assessors in providing the latest information to referees. The reviews can be accessed from the Referee Program page on the USSF web site (http://www.ussoccer.com/referees/index.jsp.html/).
League/Club Referee Assignors can be found on the District Contacts page. If you are looking for an assignment in a League near you, or will be visiting another League's area and would like to ask for a game assignment, contact that League's assignor.
The United States Soccer Federation National Program for Referee Development has released new guidance for referees on "Cautions and Cautionable Offenses." This new guide will also be of interest to players, coaches, and spectators.
2009 Assessment Criteria and links to new CNRA assessment policies have been added to the Assessments page.
