General Referee Guidelines

This page is updated frequently. Refs, please review and check back often during the first few weeks of the season.

Update! Two-man referee system will be used for many U9, U10 & U11 games. Get up to date on how this system works!!!

Arrival: Please arrive 30 minutes prior to game time to get organized with your crew and to prepare for field inspection and player check-in procedure. Every attempt must be made to keep the games running on time as they are often scheduled back-to-back.

Dress: All referees should wear the official yellow and black striped shirt (certification patch attached), black shorts and socks. You should bring a set of side-line flags, and have a watch with timer, whistle, red & yellow cards, a pen, etc.

Referee Report: The home team is required to provide both a USClub roster, as well as a game card. Center refs should download and print of the USClub referee report, which can double as a game card should the home team fail to provide one.

Game Length

Pay Scale/Volunteer Credit

Parent referees volunteer their time toward their son/daughter's team goal of filling 10 referee slots for the fall season. All Central Marin SC home games qualify as an eligible "slot" (both Silver and Gold division teams) as do all home-hosted NorCal State Cup games.

Pay rates for child/athlete referees will be posted shortly.

Game Card Procedures

For NorCal League and State Cup games, the home team manager provides and retains the completed game card.

Send-Off Procedures

Please be familiar with league procedures for red carding of coaches and players, including send-off reports. These can be found at

http://www.norcalpremier.com/content/view/19/127/

For NorCal games, the pass is returned immediately to the coach/manager.

Rain Procedures

Referees should check the rain hotlines in advance of their games in the event of rain, or contact the referee scheduler. Payment will not be made for rain-outs. Every effort will be made to schedule the same refs for the re-scheduled game. If weather conditions are such that a game cannot continue in the estimation of the Center Referee, play will be suspended. Lighting automatically suspends a game.
