Skyline Referee Philosophy

Skyline develops its referees through a bottom-up approach, providing instruction and experience at the developmental level. Skyline Board members and coaches actively participate in observing and nurturing the referees on the fields.

With experience and growth, referees are promoted to competitive level games which their skills and talents are closely matched to the skills level of each game.

 
Training and Pay Scale

Training

Basic Rules Session (U6-U8)
Skyline utilizes volunteer referees at the U6-U8 level. This class is a brief introduction to the rules at each level. Participants will receive a rules handbook and a whistle. We recommend that each team have 1 or 2 qualified volunteer referees.

Linesman Class
According to the CYS bylaws, each U9 and above team participating in Interleague must have a club trained linesman. The linesman may be asked to assist the certified center referee at home or away games if a club assigned referee is not available. Skyline requires at least 1 person from each U9 and above Recreational team attend linesman training.

USSF Grade 9
This is a certification at the State Level and consists of a full day course and an exam. Referees who complete this course can center referee recreational games or be a linesman on competitive games through U14.

USSF Grade 8
This is a certification at the State Level and consists of weekend course and an exam. Referees who complete this course can center any age. Skyline is not currently sponsoring any Grade 8 Courses. There are several Bridge, Grade 9 and Grade 8 courses sponsored by other clubs throughout the year. Checkwww.coreferees.org for details.

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.
