Referee Liaison Armband Program
Referee abuse and harassment by spectators and coaches is the main reason why referees, particularly those in their early teens, drop out of the development program resulting in severe shortages of officials at all levels. This unacceptable behaviour towards our youth must be addressed as a priority particularly if soccer is to have an adequate supply of referees.
All teams participating in Tri-County league must designate an individual at each game to act as a referee liaison. The referee liaison of each team shall be a person who is not a team official (coach or manager) and their main role will be to act as a deterrent to possible acts of misbehavior by spectators or team officials. The referee liaison will also be available to the referee should a request to do so be made or if a potential problem exists.
The name of the referee liaison MUST be marked in the area provided on the game sheet. The team has a 15 minute grace period in which to provide a liaison or they will default the game. Please ensure the name is marked on the game sheet.
