*It is TCSL’s strong preference to prioritize 15U-19U matches to be played with three (3) certified referees.
Club Linespeople Responsibilities:
Assist the Center Referee by indicating if the ball is in/out of play (the Referee will provide a flag to use);
The Club Linesperson is NOT to call offside or assist with the calling of fouls.
