  1. The order by which you cancel/reschedule your game should be as follows:

 

    1. Agree to the cancellation/rescheduling with the other coach.
    2. Call your age group commissioner.
    3. Call the Referee Coordinator – Steve Glovier - 724.942.3207  sglovierptsa@verizon.net

 

  1. You must give a minimum of 24 hours notice for a cancellation, excluding those caused by weather.  The referees adhere to the message on the soccer hotline for field closings. Because of set schedules for in-house play, there are no “rain delays” to the start of your game if the fields are open. 

 

  1. You must give a minimum of 24 hours notice for a make-up.  You will not get referees for any game that is rescheduled for later in the day on the same day that the game was originally scheduled, without 24 hours notice.

 

Exception (in-house only):  If there are referees who are there for the game prior to your rescheduled game AND they agree to stay, you must contact the Referee Coordinator or the Assistant Referee Coordinator after the game with their names to make sure they get credit.

 

  1. You may not contact any referee directly for game assignments, except as noted in Nos. 3 and 5.  For make-ups, you may request referees whom you know are available.  This may include your sons and daughters, or siblings of your team members, who are referees.

 

  1. U8s use a two person crew; U10s and above use a three person crew.  If there is not a full compliment of uniformed referees for your game, you may recruit any referee who may be present to fill that slot (in-house only). (Many referees have siblings playing in your division and may be at the game in civilian clothes.)  Exception for U10 and above: the referee who fills in must be 2 years older than the age group you are coaching; else they can only perform the duties of a club linesperson. You must contact the Referee Coordinator or the Assistant Referee Coordinator with the name(s) of the referees who filled in so they can get credit.
