What the referees ref by
Referee's Code
Always
remember that the game is for the players. Player safety and fair
play come first.
Study and learn the laws of the Game and understand the "spirit"
of the Laws. Help fellow referees do the same.
Encourage
and enforce the AYSO Philosophies of "Everyone Plays,"
"Positive Coaching" and "Good Sportsmanship."
Respect
other referees' decisions and do not publicly criticize another
official.
Wear
the proper uniform and keep it in good condition.
Maintain
good physical condition so you can keep up with the action.
Stay
calm when confronted with emotional reactions from players, coaches
and parents.
Honor
accepted game assignments. In an emergency, find a replacement.
Support
good sportsmanship with a kind word to players, coaches and parents
of both teams when deserved.
Always
be fair and impartial, avoiding conflicts of interest. Decisions
based on personal bias are dishonest and unacceptable.
