Well, an Interesting week for sure.  At least 3 RED cards this week...I gave two and I know Jim gave one.  Jim's was more exciting with punches and all. 

I don't think anything could have been done differently to be honest on any of them.  I tried really hard to go 3 blues versus a straight red for being mouthy...didn't work.  Jim's game exploded kind of out of nowhere in the last minute.

With that in mind, we need to make sure we have good communication going on between Ref and AR.  It is never easy to see everything but do your best to get all of the situations correct with carding individuals.

Thanks for all you do.  We do work hard to put a good product on the field and we need to strive to do our best every time we step on the field.

REF WEEK 4-11

Following up on the Facebook Post earlier in the week.

We will be getting another ref meeting set up soon.  Be looking out for it in the next few weeks.

As the referee, OWN the field.  You set the tone.

IF your not certain about something...blow the whistle, stop play, call a timeout and talk to AR.

That means the AR must be paying attention as well.

IF you see players all go down and not sure who to call a foul on, have the offense play t he ball back to the defense...don't call a foul.

Tell players you were checking on the safety and no foul is being called.

COMMUNICATION is the KEY.

Generally speaking we are doing a good job but we can step it up and need to step it up as competition opens soon. 

Happy Reffing!

All

Please keep working to do your best and remain unbiased. 

I have heard some players indicate they feel some referees are biased

against them.  Please do your best to give off a different

appearance. 

Perception is 90% of reality.

Timekeepers, please continue to pay attention and track play. 

I you are drifting in and out of the game it is hard to be there when the referee needs you.

Thanks!
