MORE INFORMATION
SCSOASD recruits experienced referees from all over San Diego
County to referee school soccer games. We also travel as
far as Imperial County. The standard is a dual
officiating system for regular season games with the traditional
diagonal system for some regular season and all playoff games.
Occasionally in the regular season and at tournaments there is
one official.
Pre-season organizing meetings are held starting in October.
If you want to receive notices of the meetings email Bob Petterson
at scsoasd@yahoo.com.
These meetings are held at a central location in San Diego County
where we review the differences between USSF and CIF, the changes
to the rules for the upcoming season, the dual refereeing system,
and discuss other pre-season business. All prospective referees
are required to a 50-question rules test.
Significant dates are on the Calendar
page.
The Southern
California Soccer Officials Association web site has information
on the SCSOA board, governing documents, and related matters.
CIF information is at http://www.cifsds.org/.
On that page the Green Book link gets you to their Constitution
and Bylaws where you can see the ejection policies
on page 80 or so. The Forms link will get you to the Ethics in
Sports/Coach and related policy statements: note the ejection
policies. Also at the CIF web the Officials link gets you to the
High School Sports Officiating Coalition handbook and fee schedule.
