REFEREE'S CODE

same.

A.Y.S.O.
Philosophies of Everyone Plays, Positive Coaching, and Good
Sportsmanship.
-
Respect other referees and their
decisions, and do not publicly criticize another official.
-
Wear the proper uniform and keep it
in good condition.
-
Maintain good physical condition so
you can keep up with play.
-
Stay calm when confronted with
emotional reactions from players, coaches and parents.

an emergency, please do your best to find a replacement.
