roster, or encourage or advise a player not to play for the team, whether through direct or indirect contact or coercion.
1.18.1 Each recreational player, when present at a game, must be allowed to play a minimum of 50% of the time, unless the
player’s time has been reduced for medical or disciplinary reasons, in which case the coach must notify the player, the
referee and the opposing coach prior to the beginning of the game that the minimum time has been reduced
(non-attendance at practice and non-payment of fees may be cause for disciplinary action). Any reduction in playing
time as a disciplinary action (i) may only be used in 11U and above Leagues and (ii) must be approved by the VP of Rec
prior to reducing a player’s playing time.

representative of that team in question has directly or indirectly solicited a player from another team to join their team
by talking to any team member, parent of any team member, coach of any team member or having anyone else talk to
the team members or their parents without the written permission from the head coach and/or League Commissioner
over that League. For any violation of this rule, the coach or coaches concerned and all offending parties must appear
before a disciplinary hearing.

• Referees are mostly youths, and can be as young as 13
• Many are first-time referees and likely their first paid job—they
are dealing with more than just learning how to officiate!
• They will make incorrect calls (as well as correct calls); respect the
call either way; direct feedback to referees@friscosoccer.org.
• Source of tensions: inexperienced or new referees making
mistakes and coaches/spectators misunderstanding the rules and
forgetting the code of conduct!
• Adult referees can help with quality and
mentoring of youth referees—SIGN UP!

Expectations of Coaches (re referees)
NTSSA ARTICLE IV - RESPONSIBILITY TO OFFICIALS

undermines their purpose in the game. Coaches must always refrain from criticizing officials
in the presence of players.

opportunity to better understand the problems relating to their specific area. This section
shall not be taken as an encouragement to debate referee decisions during the match.
3. On game day, officials should be treated with respect before, during, and after the game.
Officials should be addressed as “Referee” or “Mr. /Ms. Referee” and not by name.
