Fall RATS League Points of Emphasis
Hide

Fall Points of Emphasis:
--No Slide Tackles except Men's D1 - sliding for the ball is ok if there is no one around otherwise it is considered dangerous play - you decide for each skill level what 'no one around' means on your match - for lower skill sets that might be 15ft for higher skill sets that might be closer. No slideing in the Penalty Area by any player except the Keeper and their slide must not be dangerous.
-- Shin Guards are required just like any other league - players all know they just forget
-- Fouls - call more fouls than you think you need then back off if they are not needed - players complain we dont call enough especially anything below Division 1.
-- Misconduct - players want us cautioning bad players as needed - misconduct reports are not required unless you have a RC or the YC is for behavior that you think the league needs to know about (too many reckless challenges, knuckleheads and attitudes and such) but a text to Romes/Larry is nice so we can keep track of YCs not reported in case one team is getting too many league wants to know and deal with it.
-- Misconduct Procedure: get their name either from them or captain no need for photo id unless their a knucklehead and you need to manage the time and slow things down, NEW THIS SEASON cautioned need to sub out but can come back in whenever you allow.
-- Games are 90 minutes not 80 or 85 - get started on time, nothing wrong with being nice about it but let them know clock is starting to help them get out there a bit quicker. We gets lots of feedback that referees are not ready to start on time - we know the players are typically not the ones ready - but you know its a point of emphasis so be early and have your pregame hello taken care of before kickoff time then they cant blame you.
-- Keep pace with the players - no walking - way too many complaints about referees walking and and following play into the penalty area and being available if needed

This summer we will have more of our Referee Coaches/Mentors and League Reps out each night observing both players and referees helping to make the league better than it is. Be alert and willing to receive feedback from Coaches/Mentors and also League Reps who will be filling out feedback/evaluation forms. If you've got a question about any feedback or game issues reach out to Romes and/or Larry who are both available and want to help you.

Last reminder - players are your clients - they pay your match fees and if they don't like you they ask to not see you. Too many players asking not to see you we've got to take you out of the rotation for a bit :(

Summer Referee Tip - New LOTG 2023/24

As we start our summer season we will be implementing the new updates within the LOTG. Most of the updates won't be that drastic for the players. So part of our summer will be educating players and ourselves on how to apply these changes within the game.

For our own referee development and education we have included several links that should help regarding the 2023/2024 LOTG. This document will also make its way to the our client websites so you can refer coaches/players who need a refresher to their league website.
