Ref Signup

Union County Soccer League needs people willing to referee soccer games. If you are interested, there will be several clinics offered throughout the year for certification.  Information will be posted on this site regarding these clinics and you are also welcome to contact Doug Perry for more information.   Certification is not necessary to ref in our league.

If you are interested in reffing for UCSL, please email Blake with your availability for all dates listed above. The more dates you are available to referee, the better your chances of getting more games. You can send either all the dates you can ref or all the dates you can't, whichever has the fewest number of dates. If you are available for all the dates, just send an email saying "Available all dates."

Ref Training
Several certification clinics will be held throughout the year. You may find info on these clinics by going to www.ncsra.org . Any official clinics will be listed at this website and more get listed all the time. Please keep checking back to the site to find new classes being held in our area.

Rain Cancellations
Games can be cancelled by the league anytime up until one hour before game time.  If you have not been called and there aren't any messages on the website indicating games have been cancelled you are to report to your field.  Upon arriving at the field you must determine if the field is actually playable.  If you feel that due to weather conditions the field is not playable you may cancel the game.  You will not be penalized for closing a field because of unsafe conditions.  Remember: The children's safety is our primary concern. In order to collect your money you must stay at the field the entire length of the game time to collect money from the coaches.  This is due to the fact that the rain may stop or the field may drain and become playable as time passes. If at the start of the second game time the field is still not playable you may close the field and go home.  You can only be paid for the first game and you must be present the entire time on the field to be paid.  If there is LIGHTNING, the game is suspended IMMEDIATELY and everyone should seek shelter. Once a game is suspended due to lightning, 15 minutes must  pass from the last site of lightning before play may resume. Every time lightning is seen again, the 15 minutes starts over.

Game Information
Remember to collect the money from each team before the start of the game.
