Information for New Referees - 2010
USSF has issued Information for New Referees - 2010. This new booklet contains useful tips and advice how to be a referee.
2009/2010 Advice to Referees
USSF has issued to 2009/2010 Advice to Referees. The Advice to Referees is specifically intended to give USSF referees, assistant referees and fourth officials a reliable compilation of those international and national guidelines remaining in force, as modified or updated.
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/Week-In-Review.aspx).
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.
