Study and learn the LAW OF THE GAME and understand
the “spirit of the laws”. Help fellow referees to do the same.
Encourage and enforce the AYSO philosophies of
“Everyone Plays” and “Positive Coaching”.
Respect other referees and their decisions and do
not publicly criticize another official.
Wear the proper uniform and keep it in good
condition.
Maintain good physical condition so you can keep up
with the action.
Stay calm when confronted with emotional reaction
from players, coaches, and parents.
Honor accepted game assignments. In an emergency,
find a replacement.
Support good sportsmanship with a kind word to
players, coaches, and parents.
Always be fair and impartial, avoiding conflicts of
interest. Decisions based on personal bias are dishonest and unacceptable.
