I ref lacrosse on the other side of Ct from DefRef. By the way, the tape measure is for checking whether the sticks are legal. We use it for...
While 1099s are based on the date the check is issued, technically the check is not taxable until received (assuming that you did not...
Am I correct that the narrow pinstripe jerseys are not to be used anymore, but the wide pinstripes are good until 2018?
Epic Sports is still selling the old referee shirts as "conforms to USSF standards" and "new style referee jersey." Anything to get rid of that...
Leaving aside the geometry of the box, the fact is that in soccer we have penalties that change the game based on small differences. For PKs,...
Western Connecticut travel games U-10 $60.00 $40.00 U-11 and U-12 $60.00 $40.00 U-13 and U-14 $60.00 $40.00 U-15 and U-16 $60.00 $45.00 U-17 and...
I agree with this. And with yale and no diagonal. Also, you have to take your eye off th ball some of the time to track the offside situation....
I think a Yellow was a good decision if this was a travel game. For a u-9 rec, I would just go with the pk.
Sunscreen is not nearly as effective as a hat, especially when you are running around and sweating. That is my experience, and the American...
I only referee youth games, and have never had an issue with my black hat. I know other guys in the same boat as me - I am bald with fair skin,...

I find that around here most players at U-17 really don't like the shirt tugging and it leads to other problems. It is one of those "little"...
Drop the flag if the ref did not see it. If the ref did see it and has not yet blown the whistle, drop the flag and shake your head, adopt a...

I have never seen a referee not allow a player with normal eyeglasses to participate. I have never seen an injury as a result. As far as I can...

I have to disagree that OP question 3 is handling. First, it was not deliberate since it seems that the attacker was not looking. Second,...
Under no circumstance can you delegate a call to someone else, president or not. This is your call. Unless this is high school, you should...
In baseball, as I understand it, no umpire has the right to overrule another. If an umpire does not ask for assistance, the umpire's call stands,...
Pulling our team off the field in the middle of a game is a very serious step and I would strongly suggest that it only be done in the most...
