How do I become an SYSL referee? Anyone
wishing to referee for SYSL, regardless of age (minimum age is 10 years
old) or experience is required to attend training clinics that are given
during the offseason (Jan/Feb, Jul/Aug). The clinics consist of learning
the FIFA
rules and the SYSL
modified rules as they pertain to each age group. Referees
are given "on the field training" by rotating in and out of
controlled scrimmages geared to different age levels of play.
At the end of the course they are required to take and pass a written
test. This, along with the evaluations made during the practical portion
of the clinics ensures that the referees that step onto the fields at
the SYSL complex are knowledgeable in the rules of soccer.
Each year the referees that have taken the course and have passed the
test are given SYSL referee shirts to wear while officiating. This is
the first step in presenting a professional appearance on and off the
field.
Before a referee is allowed to officiate a game in the center position,
they are required to act as assistant referees (linesmen) under the
supervision of an experienced referee. The Director of Referees
evaluates each referee during the course of the year.
Meetings are held throughout the season to foster feedback both to the
referees and from them as well. |
