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 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 several convenient locations in San
Diego County where we review the differences between USSF and
CIF, the changes to the rules for the upcoming season, take a
knowlege test, and review other pre-season business.
Significant dates are on the Calendar
page.
The 2009/2010 Members Manual is available here.
It has Rules vs LOTG differences and other information. Certain
parts of the Blue Book do not pertain to the San Diego section.
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 coaches code of ethics
on page 98 and ejection policies on page 99. Also at the
CIF web the Officials link gets you to the High School Sports
Officiating Coalition handbook and fee schedule.
Acceptable
and Unacceptable Goal Setup - this page shows photos of acceptable
and unacceptable goal setup related to football goalpost uprights.
The general rule is that football goalpost uprights be padded
and must be at least 2 yards from the soccer field goal line.
Remember - player safety is paramount.
Rain Procedures
- in general, check with a responsible adult at the home
school before you leave for the game if you
question whether a game will not be played due to the weather.
The Members Manual page 18 on inclement weather does not pertain
to the San Diego section.
