Prior to each game, the TSL will identify themselves to
each other and to the referee(s). TSL will be required to
sign the Game Report Card on either the back of the form or
under the coach’s signature.
Prior to each game, the TSL will discuss with the referee
and coaches what roles the TSL will take in the event the
sidelines begin to negatively impact the match or the
referee’s ability to do his/her job.
Ensure the team spectators/parents observe the spectator
line.
Be the “cooler head” should sideline behavior become
extreme.
Be the first point of contact should the referee feel
he/she needs help due to inappropriate sideline behavior.
In the event that an incident does occur which requires R &
D involvement, the TSL will attend the hearings.
If the TSL or the alternate TSL who signed the forms will not
be in attendance at any matches, you must notify the WAGS
Office by Friday of the scheduled game and supply WAGS with a
name of the designated TSL for that particular game.
