Referee Recommendations
It is highly recommended that only Advanced or National Referees be
assigned to U19 or U16 games.
AYSO PRO Zero
Tolerance Policy on
Purpose of the Policy
• Youth development is the central focus of
the AYSO program. This includes
development of youth whether they are soccer players or soccer referees. The Player Referee
Organization (PRO) is an important part of youth referee
development. All the AYSO guidelines and
policies on providing a "Safe, Fair, and Fun" environment for players
also applies to youth referees. Only
"Positive, Instructive, and Encouraging" comments are allowed to be
directed at youth players or youth referees.
Therefore, we need this policy to make it clear that verbal abuse of
youth referees is as unacceptable as verbal abuse of youth players.
• This policy is not intended to
imply that youth referees are always "right" and the adult spectator
or coach is always "wrong."
Youth referees make many mistakes in officiating, particularly in the
younger divisions where they are learning how to referee. In addition, sometimes youth referees are
"in over their head", because they were given an inappropriate
assignment, their mentor forgot to show up, or they filled in to referee at the
last minute.
However, it is never acceptable to
verbally abuse youth referees in any situation.
There are appropriate avenues for coaches or spectators to share
concerns about the quality of officiating.
The Referee Staff welcomes any constructive comments on youth
referees. But, any criticism or
critique of a youth referee's performance should only be communicated to the youth
by a properly trained Referee Mentor.
Policy
·
All Regional Board Members as well as Area Staff shall,
if necessary, intervene if a coach or spectator is verbally abusing a youth
referee.
·
Handling general dissent is part of a referee's
job. If the youth referee appears to be
managing the dissent appropriately, no intervention is necessary.
·
It shall be assumed that any qualified adult
referee that is present during any confrontations between a youth referee and
any adult coach or spectator, may step in as a “4th official” and
help resolve the situation or discipline the coach/spectator.
·
All AYSO members (coaches, board members, other
referees) shall report any incident of abuse of youth referees to the Regional or
Area referee administrator. This report
should happen within 24 hours of the incident if possible.
·
“Disputes
arising out of game conduct should first be addressed and resolved, if
possible, by the regional referee administrator and/or then by a disinterested
review board, appointed by the regional commissioner and/or then by the entire
region, if necessary”, as stated in Article Six of the Regional
Guidelines. Upon investigating the
incident if a determination is made that a person involved in the region needs
to be disciplined, the regional commissioner or the regional board shall give
notice in writing to such person of such intention. Disciplinary action should be taken before
the next game if possible. The coach
administrator, division commissioner and PRO administrator shall be notified of
the disciplinary action.
·
Egregious offenses (e.g. multiple abusive
situations, physical contact with a youth referee, or exceptional misbehavior
directed toward a youth referee) shall result in immediate suspension of the
offending spectator/coach by the Regional Commissioner. Offenses of this nature shall be dealt with
in accordance with Article Six of the Regional Guidelines An egregious offense violates the
fundamental mission of AYSO and requires strong action. Discipline may include, but is not limited
to, non-participation for the season, non-participation for multiple seasons,
"rehabilitation" (e.g. referee 10 games), or expulsion from the AYSO
program.
The following are disciplinary action guidelines
for youth referee abuse offenses:
·
Verbal abuse of a youth referee 2 game
non-participation
·
Serious verbal abuse of a youth referee 4 game non-participation
(e.g. using foul language)
·
Stepping onto the field or other threat to 6 game non-participation
a youth
referee (by word or action)
·
A
Letter of Apology and/or a Public Apology to the players and parents is
recommended.
·
Immediate
and sincere remorse on the part of the offending spectator or coach may be
taken into account when implementing the discipline.
• Non Participation: This is defined as being
suspended from attending any AYSO game in the division where the incident
occurred. Therefore, if a spectator is
suspended, he or she may not attend any game at that division level during the
suspension. A coach may not coach nor
attend any AYSO game at that division level during the suspension. The coach may still attend team practices
during the suspension so as to not disrupt the skill development of his or her
players. For egregious offenses, the
suspension can include a ban from attending all AYSO events (e.g. games,
practices, meetings) in all divisions.
• This policy only applies to the discipline
of adult spectators and coaches. This
does not apply to players or youth spectators.
