Game Sheets • All games, all complexes • Get sheet from both coaches • U9 and lower, if they do not have game sheets, play game anyways
Game Sheets • At end of game, fill in score and your name and hand back to the coach • Reason is for coaches to phone scores in • If coach didn’t have sheet, just tell them the score

Deal With Coaches • You must engage and deal with coaches • Most times it is a simple word or request • Back up off line • No foul • Hold your subs • Get used to managing coaches so when you have to deal with coach misbehavior, it is easier
Referee Abuse • All coach misbehavior needs to be dealt with • Talk to them or dismiss them • Coaches/parents that abuse referees shall not be tolerated
Referee Abuse • Understand difference between emotional outbursts and irresponsible behavior • Coaches/parents that berate referees and impact them emotionally will be reported to North Texas for possible hearings • Referees need to let DoR know and write reports
