Referee Responsibilities Pledge
The AYSO Referee Pledge In my words and action, I pledge to: Encourage and enforce the AYSO Philosophies of Everyone Plays, Positive Coaching and Good Sportsmanship. Learn the Laws of the Game and understand the "spirit" of the Laws and help fellow referees do the same. Remember that the game is for the players and recognize that player safety and fair play come first. Honor game assignments and arrive sufficiently early to conduct pre-game duties. Present a positive authority-figure model when officiating. Always be fair and impartial, avoiding conflicts of interest or personal bias. Remain calm when confronted with emotional reactions from players, coaches and spectators. Keep in mind that the roles of the coach and the referee are inherently different. Support sporting behavior by players, coaches and parents of both teams. Respect other referee decisions and not publicly criticize another official.
From the AYSO National Coach
From the AYSO National Coach's "Ask the Coach" column: John Ouellette talks about the Referee October 20, 2009 Question: "The parents on the team I coach complain about the referee all the time. Should I be concerned or is that just part of sports?" Answer: The ref criticism must stop. There is no upside to diverting the children's focus from playing the game to an "injustice" by the referee. There is, however, a good case to be made for allowing children to deal with a referee's decision without their parents' interference. Most of the sideline ref criticism is unfounded and refs' errors in youth soccer are generally insignificant. But even if a call is unfair, it's better for the players' long-term development if the adults allow them to cope on their own. Complaining about the officiating within earshot of young players teaches them to blame others when things don't go their way. John has also produced an audio recording on this topic.
