a suggestion for convenience . Feel Free to start with Referee or Assistant Referee
Assignments. You will need a blend of both to fulfill your teams point(s) Requirement.

D. Please DO NOT Referee your own child's game at 10U or Above.
If you are there to watch, and the Referee needs an Assistant Referee, If you think you can be
neutral and unbiased, go ahead and take the Assignment.
Please email Myself: [email protected] and Brian Meehan: [email protected] and we will make sure you get *credit for that game . However, you must be in full Referee Uniform to get that Credit.
