REFEREE ASSIGNMENTS / SCHEDULE
Referee Scheduler: Jim Simpson -- [email protected]
Here are some logistics on how the schedule will be shared for you to volunteer.
Please follow all guidelines listed in the bullet points below as you sign up for games.
I will monitor the sheet throughout the week to ensure fairness so everyone has an opportunity to get their volunteer points for their teams, and on Wednesday night, I will send another email reminder that we have moved to the open phase of signups.
Depending on coverage, I may send out additional emails asking for help on Friday for any urgent needs as we approach the weekend. I will try to keep the emails shorter each week than this first one that is more informational, but I will include the bullet points for you to follow each week.
Thank you in advance for your patience and for all of your help as volunteers.

Other Notes
- Please try whenever possible to work with the Head Coach of your team(s) to sign up for games as a Ref Crew of 3 (Center + 2 AR), please avoid signing up for a single slot as this makes it more difficult for a team Ref Crew to sign up for a match
- Until Thursday, please only sign up for 1 game to allow volunteers from other teams the chance to sign up and earn volunteer points (exception to this rule is if you have two children on different teams and you are part of 2 different Ref Crews)
- Remember that you cannot referee games in the same division as your child's team (ie. your child plays on a 12U Boys team, you cannot referee another 12U Boys match). Any exception to this rule must be approved by Ref Admin and RC for emergency coverage.
