Request For 2010 Referee Mentors

Provided by Sal Crispi

We currently have +/- 60 New Referee Candidates attending our 2 Entry Level Clinics this month. They will need our help and support so they can develop as officials.

During the Soccer Season, Mentors are asked to contact their Mentorees, make sure they understand the Referee Program Procedures, observe them perform in at least one game, and maintain contact with them throughout their 1st Season. In return, you will have the Referee Program's gratitude for helping to continue the fine quality of our officiating and the knowledge that you have assisted a new Referee in becoming a competent official. If you have at least 3 years experience in officiating and a desire to help new officials, CLICK HERE to register your interest with WCSC's Mentor Coordinator Erich Kellner. 

AYSO Whistle Stop Quiz/Question

Provided by Sal Crispi (From the AYSO Website)

Question 112: What should the referee do, and how is play restarted if...

In a U-14 boys’ game, before a penalty kick is taken by red player #10, the goalkeeper moves to his right and then to his left while remaining on the goal line. The kick is taken and the goalkeeper deflects the ball over the cross bar. Immediately after, the assistant referee stays in position at the intersection of the goal line and the penalty area line and signals by holding the flag across his lower body. For Answer CLICK HERE

Question 111: Blue player #5 has control of the ball approximately 15 yards outside his own penalty area when an opponent pressures him. The blue player decides to kick the ball hard towards his own goal. The blue team’s goalkeeper who is outside his own penalty area sees that the ball is heading towards his goal and decides to dive and catch it with his hands. The goalkeeper was the last defender between the ball and the blue team’s goal. Is this action considered denying a goal scoring opportunity? For Answer CLICK HERE

If it rains, before you head out to your game, don't forget to call the WC Rain Number: (925) 256-3574! If it should begin to rain, after play begins, continue play, if there is no standing water on the field. Once standing water begins to form, if you are in the 2nd half, try to finish the game. If you are in the 1st half, abandon the game. All other later games should not be attempted to start, if there is standing water. Remember, after the morning Rain Announcement, Park & Rec may not be able to make another announcement. It is not only the safety of the participants we should be concerned about, but also the prevention of field damage. We are guests of Park & Rec and fields must be preserved for future use!
