Team Contribution

Skyline will make every effort to provide three qualified referees to each home game.  Center referees on all Interleague and Recreational games (U9 and above) will be USSF certified.  Referees on U6-U8 games will be club trained.  In order to provide these referees, ALL teams are being asked to encourage participation.  In the event that a qualified team of officials are not available, the following requirements have been approved in order to provide club trained substitutions. 

Competitive Teams

Competitive teams are to encourage players, parents, and siblings to participate in the USSF referee program.  By refereeing, each competitive member can give back to the Skyline Soccer Program. 

Intermediate and Recreational Teams (U9-U18)

All U9-U18 Intermediate and recreational teams must provide two volunteers who will attend linesman training and will be available at all home and away games to run the line if requested by the referee.

Recreational Teams (U6-U8)

Skyline utilizes volunteers to officiate the fun games that take place from U6-U8.  We offer a "rules class" for volunteers willing to help out with this aspect of our program.  We provide a whistle and age appropriate rules.

Referee Policy

It is the policy of Skyline to have assigned three USSF certified referees for each competitive game. Within the developmental program it is our policy to assign three qualified referees for each home game.

Skyline also offers training at the club level for parents and coaches to learn the rules of soccer and to enable them to center referee and line games.
