  5. Among the challenges

  6. Assigning 101 • Give the game the referees it needs • That can vary • Give the referees the games they need • Within limits of game and referee availability • But … turnbacks, rainouts, rescheduled games • We DO have to fill the games • Flexibility is appreciated • Assignors are “referees of last resort”

  7. Advancement and development • Work with more experienced officials • Attempt to provide more mentorship • All-female crews • All-youth crews • We pass names along to travel assignors • We’re always scouting for high school refs

  8. Two flavors of soccer • USSF-affiliated • Stafford rec and adult • FFC rec • CSL adult • Youth travel • Non-affiliated • Spotsylvania Rec • Fredericksburg Rec • Scholastic games

  10. Rec game basics • It’s younger kids … • 75% are U-12 or below • 50% are one-referee games • 25% are two-referee games • 25% are three-referee games • Number of games is decreasing

  11. Rec game basics • But there are benefits • Gain experience • Build confidence • Give back to the game • Make some money

  13. Assigning 101 • Get some games! • Go to your Arbiter main page • Mark yourself “ready to be assigned” • Please add your address • Please list at least one phone number • Not ready or you become unavailable? • Uncheck the “ready to be assigned” box

  14. Review your Arbiter calendar • Can’t work? Block the whole day • Hours limited? Block part of the day • Schedule changed? Update calendar • Games run through early November • When in doubt, block – watch for open games

  16. Assigning 101 • Check Arbiter every day • Watch for new assignments • Watch for changes in assignments • Watch for changes in date/time/location • Watch for “open game” postings/e-mail • Listed on Arbiter main page

  17. Assigning 101 • Arbiter sends e-mail, but not 100% reliable • Game appears on your schedule • Game has an “accept by” date • No action? No game! Arbiter removes it • Check accept or decline … then click “submit”
