You are required to take 5 hours of referee training every year to be able to re-register annually as an USSF Referee.

 

In prior years you have been able to use attendance at the following:

High School Rules Clinic

College Rules Clinic

Entry level Clinic re-attendance

to count towards the required 5 hours of annual training for USSF.

 

Starting with 2006 registration year these sources of training can no longer be used.

 

Under these cirumstances, attendance at the monthly meetings, which count for 1 hour of training, becomes more important.

 

These monthly meetings are held 10 times during the year.  So attendance at only half of them will meet the 5 hour requirement.

 

Also, activities are underway to provide other training opportunities.

TEST YOUR LAWS OF THE GAME KNOWLEDGE AT

ussoccer.com's "YOU MAKE THE CALL" VIDEO SITE

Referees, Players, Coaches and Fans Learn About

Referee Decisions with “You Make the Call”

CHICAGO, Ill. (July 25, 2006) – Referees, players, coaches and soccer aficionados can dissect plays, make calls and test their referee skills on ussoccer.com’s “You Make the Call” interactive video site. The presentation allows referees of all ages and grade levels to reinforce their knowledge of “The Laws of the Game,” while allowing players, coaches and fans to put themselves in the referee’s place and learn more about the reasoning behind decisions that officials make.

"We are happy to be able to release You Make the Call again," said Julie Ilacqua, U.S. Soccer Managing Director of Referee Programs. “It's a fun method of helping referees and non-referees alike to have a better understanding of the ‘Laws of the Game.’"

"You Make the Call" debuted on ussoccer.com in December 2005, and has since, much like the website itself, undergone a transformation that renders the interactive site easier to use. To access “You Make the Call,” simply click here or select “Laws of the Game” from the ussoccer.com homepage navigation menu. A drop-down menu will appear with “You Make the Call” as one of the options.

Users will be able to watch a video clip of a foul, along with a summary of the incident. The user is given four choices as to what the referee’s decision should be. Upon submitting an answer, players will get a summary of the results, the reason for the decision according to “The Laws of the Game,” and a short explanation of the correct answer.

“You Make the Call” is an excellent learning tool for young referees who are still becoming familiar with “The Laws of the Game.” It not only allows young referees to see the foul in real time, as well as replays, it explains the correct decision, as well as why the other options are not correct, specifically citing “The Laws of the Game.”

The game is also a great venue for players, coaches and fans, because it gives insight into the application of “The Laws of the Game.”

Participants also have the option of signing up to receive e-mail alerts when a new video is posted.

Braun To: Whelan, Gene Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2008 9:44 PM Subject: CBL Overtime Periods WOA Officials,   I have been requested by the CBL President to make a point of emphasis on overtime periods.  From the CBL Standard Operating Procedures (attachment), Item 15:   15.       LEAGUE GAME TIES- VARSITY LEVEL: Play the regulation game and if a tie exists, play two (2) five minute sudden death overtime periods.  (Sudden Death is defined as the first team to score in the overtime period wins the game.)  If a tie still exists, each team shall take five penalty kicks.  During this Penalty Kick format, coaches can be on the field and anyone on the official roster may participate in the shoot out (’07).  Team “A” will take one penalty kick, then team “B”, then team “A”, etc., until each team has taken five penalty kicks.  The kicks shall be taken alternately.  Only players on the roster (‘00) may be used when taking the five penalty kicks to break the tie.  After each team has taken five penalty kicks and score is still tied, the taking of the penalty kicks shall continue until such time as each team has taken the same number of kicks and one team has scored one goal more than the other.  The kicks shall not continue after one team has scored enough goals to win.  JUNIOR VARSITY LEVEL: Will use the penalty kick format only and will not play sudden death overtime   Thank you for your time and dedication to the sport of soccer. to review CBL SOP's click here   David J.
