Post Game Procedures

The Referee Administrator has asked that all referees note the following:

• GAME CARDS – (1) Please take the time to fill in all the blanks; (2) SIGN THE CARDS (center and the assistant referees) and (3) turn them in by placing them in mailbox at the field.
• GAME CARDS –  PLEASE take the time to fill out the sportsmanship portion on the back of the cards. That is how we can address any issues before they become problems. If a coach or parent or anyone else is not meeting the standards of AYSO...Positive support for Players, Coaches, or Referees... Please let us know!!! Also, please let us know when you see a super job of being supportive!!!!   (Note: We are passing your evaluations and comments along to the teams.  This is a great way to reinforce positive behavior by coaches & parents.)
• MONITORED SUBSITUTION FORMS for the U16 & U19 teams should be turned in with the game cards. (Note: The back of the substitution form is the center game report.)
