Referees are required to submit a Referee Misconduct Report of any send-offs of players, team officials or spectators that occur in Area 1R play to the  Referee Admin within 24 hours.

An AYSO Incident Report Form is used whenever there is a personal injury, damaged property or threats of or actual physical violence surrounding an AYSO game, practice, event or property. The form should be prepared by the coach, AYSO Official, or AYSO Volunteer or tournament or event staff members. Instructions are included within the linked document. Answers to frequently asked questions regarding soccer accidents may be found on the AYSO insurance website.

An online Referee Feedback Form is provided so that you might help our referees improve their knowledge and skills. Please feel free to offer your comments, be they praise or suggestions for improvement. If you prefer, you may use this PDF version of the feedback form.
