What to do in the event that a full complement of referees is not present
AGE GROUP | MINIMUM REFEREES | MAXIMUM REFEREES | IF MISSING REFEREES |
---|---|---|---|
9U/10U | 1 | 1 | Match should be played, facilitated by coaches |
11U/12U | 1 | 3 | If one (1) CERTIFIED referee, each team to provide a "Club Linesperson" to assist center referee |
13U/14U | 1 | 3 | If one (1) CERTIFIED referee, each team to provide a "Club Linesperson" to assist center referee |
15U-19U | 1* | 3 | If one (1) CERTIFIED referee, each team to provide a "Club Linesperson" to assist center referee |
*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.
