ON TIME, BEING PREPARED and
LOOKING PROFESSIONAL


Attributes of a
SABR Referee
Keys to gaining the
respect of the
coaches, players
and spectators
12
Attendance


Arrive 20-30 minutes early before each game
If a referee does not show up, then please follow these
procedures:
• Try to contact either Mr. Brian Behrman (Recreational) or Mr.
Lou Hecht (Travel)
• If you cannot contact Mr. Behrman or Mr. Hecht or if he does
not have a substitute available, you should see if there is
another licensed referee in the area who can act as a
linesman.
• Unless that referee just finished a game at the same level, you
should still try to contact Mr. Behrman or Mr. Hecht before
having that person step in.
• Any such tardiness should be reported to Mr. Behrman or Mr.
Hecht (see Contacts).
• If you cannot find a suitable linesman, then you can use a
“club linesman” if the coaches agree. A club linesman may
NOT be paid.
• If the scheduled linesman shows up after the game has
started, they may take over for the “club linesman” with the
referee’s permission.
13
Preparedness

Head Referee
•
•
•
•
•

Coin for starting game
Working whistle
Watch or stop watch
Game report and pen or pencil
Your red and yellow cards.
Assistant Referee (Linesman)
• Flag
• All the above for Head Referee in the event
you need to step in if the head referee does
not show.
14
Attire

Wearing the proper Referee Uniform
• Yellow shirt
• Black shorts
• Long black socks


Shirt must be tucked in for the entire
duration of the game.
We need to set an example for the
coaches and players
15
Time Management







Time management of the soccer game IS the
responsibility of the referee
NOT the coaches…
NOT the players and…
NOT the administrators.
SABR works very hard to schedule as many
games as possible to optimize the limited number
of soccer fields, thus it is extremely important
that you keep the games on time.
Delays due to injury, weather or other reason you
deem appropriate can be made up by adding
time at the end of the game at your discretion.
BOTTOM LINE: KEEP ALL GAMES ON SCHEDULE. 16
Behavior On the Field




Be decisive in your decisions
Blow your whistle loud
Be a teacher to the younger players
and explain the fouls/calls (U9/U10)
Call your fouls with respect to the
age group and gender
17
Non FIFA Rules



Many are covered in
your SABR Handbook
Read the Handbook
and print pages from
the SABR Web Site –
“Referee’s Corner”
Keep this information
handy as a guide

Forfeit



If one or both teams does not have the
minimum number of players, then they
have to forfeit
If the coaches want to play short-handed,
please stay and referee the game (you are
getting paid and we need to be there for
purposes of safety)
If a team’s coach does not show up, then
they are not permitted to play – period!
20
Substitutes


A team CAN substitute on their OWN throw in, NOT
on the opponent’s throw in.
All teams MAY substitute:



On either team's goal kick,
After a goal,
After a half
After you stop the game due to injury
Water breaks
After the regular time of the game has expired if an
overtime period is provided.

explain this to the coaches
You may use discretion to not allow a substitution
if the substitute is not ready to come onto the field

Injuries

Only coaches allowed to attend to an
injured player on the field
If a player is injured and cannot return, email the Director of Referees:
• Date
• Team Gender, Age Group and Team Name
(e.g., GU14 Revolution)
• First and Last Name of the Player
• Nature of the Injury
23
Yellow Cards


When a player is issued a YELLOW
CARD the player must leave the field
to allow for a “cool down” period and
be substituted
Player may re-enter game at the
next opportunity the team can
substitute
24
Red Cards


If you issue a RED CARD or ask a Coach
or Spectator to leave the field for
misconduct, be sure to report the incident
via e-mail to your Assignor and the SABR
Director of Referees.
Include in your report the following
information:
• Date
• Team Gender, Age Group and Team Name
(e.g., GU14 Revolution)
• First and Last Name of the Player, Coach or
Spectator
• Nature of the Misconduct or Red Card
25
Other Considerations

Be sure to enforce the Technical Area with
the coaches at the beginning
• ~10 yards on either side of the centerline
• ~ 1 yard behind the touch line



Ask the coaches or SABR Administrators to
ask their spectators to sit on the opposite
side of the field
Do Not engage with the spectators
Ask the coaches or SABR Administrators to
help you manage the spectators
26
Lightning Safety
1. Use the “30-30 Rule” and Common Sense
• If you see lighting, check your watch
• If thunder occurs before 30 seconds, you need to have
everyone get off the field and into a sheltered area
• Wait 30 minutes following the same 30 second rule
before allowing players coaches and spectators back
onto the field
2. Most fields have lighting detectors (except
FAU/Henderson)
• When you hear the detector sound, have everyone get
off the field
• Safe to return when you hear 3 short blasts
NOTE: LIGHTING DECTECTORS HAVE BEEN KNOWN
TO FAIL – IF IN DOUBT REFER TO NO. 1
27
Referees Need to Set the Tone for
the Entire Season




CONSISTENTLY enforce the “Rules of
the Game”, “Non-FIFA Rules”, and
“Other Considerations”
Establish themselves with the
coaches, players and spectators as
“In Charge”
Be decisive and blow your whistle
loud so everyone can hear it
Have fun and let the players play!
