*** NEW EMAIL ADDRESS FOR ECYSA REFEREE
ASSIGNOR AS OF JANUARY 2, 2018 ***
Starting 1/2/2018 discard my Verizon
email address.
My new email address will:
*********The Availability Form
for ECYSA's Spring 2018 season is now online.********
The dead line for getting
this filled out is Thursday, March 15th.
ECYSA has scheduled (G-4) / (G-6)
/ (G-8)) games all day on Saturday.
These games are refereed with just one referee.
On Sunday, there are games only in the afternoon.
These are (G-10)
& (G-12) & (PG post graduate) games, typically three game sets. All are
refereed with a three person system. You can usually figure on one game as
referee and two as assistant referee.
If you are unable to do a three game set, indicate what
you are able to do on any given Sunday and
provide some availability. I will do my best to get as many of you as possible
some experience on three person system games.
*** Dates for the ECYSA Winter
referee workshops are as follows: ***
Email me at benrefereed@gmail.com
The first two workshops will take
place at the following location.
The Polish
Club
The third and final workshop/meeting
will take place on:
Tuesday, March 27th
2018 at the location below.
Black Swan Country Club
This is the one workshop you really
want to attend. Be there by 7:00 PM There may
be be changes to ECYSA rules of competition for the upcoming year
For newer referees, you might ask
"What's a workshop?" This is an opportunity to sit in with referees
who've refereed for many years, as well as other newer referees. While there,
we will go over scenarios and basic information that is crucial to your
development, understanding and knowledge of refereeing.
Workshops also provide you with bonus
money. Attend one workshop and earn $1 more for every game you referee in the
upcoming year. Two workshops equals $2 more per game.
Attend all three and earn $3 more per game for the year 2018.Bonus pay for 2017
is now null and void. We all start over again for each year.
Please note, while the last
workshop (On March 27th) is very important. If that is the only one of the
three you can attend, there is no bonus pay.
That said, the
final workshop is always the most heavily attended. There will be information
at this workshop which will be new and updated. You don't want to miss the
boat. If you attend the third in conjunction with any, or all of,
the others, then the bonuses kick in.
These are not conducted by the state.
ECYSA runs these events. There is no charge or preregistration required. Please look for more ECYSA referee news
blasts from me in the near future

Brand
new referees for the upcoming Spring
2018 season must attend one of these meetings. Dates,
times and locations have yet to be confirmed. If you have never set foot
on a field as a referee in ECYSA, attending one is mandatory. Failure to attend
one will prevent me from employing you. If it has been several seasons since
you last did an ECYSA game, you should attend a class. They are no cost to
you. ECYSA runs these. You need not sign up at massref.net. You do however need
to let me know, via email, which one you will attend.
All orientations will take place at:
Polish Club of
Times and
dates for New To ECYSA Referee Orientation Meetings" are as follows:
Time, Date, & Location: Meeting # 3
Sunday, March 25th 6:00
pm - 8:30 pm
______________________________________________________
Time, Date, & Location: Meeting # 4
Saturday, March
31st 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
You must attend one. Take your pick, and let me know which one.
Yes, you may have just taken a USSF referee course.
But these courses don't provide you with all you need to help you flourish.
These ECYSA meetings will accomplish several things.
1) Get to meet your assignor face to face in a small group.
2) Learn how to properly check in a team by ECYSA standards
3) Pre and post game duties.
4) Hints and refereeing tricks of the trade.
5) We will touch upon other basics as well.
6) Wear your referee uniform (shoes suited for indoor. No
cleats)
It is my understanding that many referee
uniforms are back ordered.
Order them NOW!
It is most important to attend a meeting. All are welcome,
uniform or not.
7) Bring a whistle, paper, and writing utensil.
It will be fun and informative, which is good, since it is
required if you want to referee in
We take our commitment to you seriously.
We want refereeing in
If you are under 18 years of age, it would be helpful if a parent could stay for the class.
You will play a large role in the success of your child's new (first?) job.
