It is up to each team to cover their referee requirements. Referees must be in proper referee attire, meet all volunteer requirements, and be registered for the appropriate game in the referee scheduler . Below are the referee requirements for each age group:
For Spring CO-ED games:
The teams playing are responsible for supplying the referees for their matches. Traditionally the home team is responsible for supplying 2 referees and the visiting team is responsible for supplying 1 referee. Please use the Referee scheduler to coordinate coverage for your matches.
During Fall competition:
U6-U8 - Team must provide referees to cover their own games
U10 - Teams are required to cover the game following their own on the field they play on, or if playing the last game of the day, they cover the first game of the day in their age division (Therefore, Girl Teams may cover Boy Teams and Boy Teams may cover Girl Teams). Home Team is to supply 2 referees and the visiting team is to supply one additional referee for the game following theirs.
U12-U14 - Teams are required to cover the game following their own on the field they play on, or if playing the last game of the day, they cover the first game of the day, in their age division (Therefore, Girl Teams may cover Boy Teams and Boy Teams may cover Girl Teams) . Due to Area play where the visiting team may not be from our region, the home team will be responsible for providing all referees, but are strongly encouraged to work with the other Claremont teams so we can share referee duties as widely as possible.
U16/U19 - Each team may be required to supply referees during their own game if the region is not able to provide coverage.
