Rich reminded everyone of the policy of Zero-tolerance policy for talking to refs before,
during or after the game about calls made during the game. Police yourself and your
parents.
We have 63 new refs so set expectations low with your parents and with opponents
Will try to have mentor refs as often as possible this season
Games in PENSRA now.
No changes to the Laws of the Game this season
Really hard to get CRs to fill younger (U8 & U9) games with just a single ref.
( ) AI for all Mgrs to reach out to opposing Manager a week prior to each home game to set
expectations about Refs this season and the Zero-tolerance policy for talking to refs before,
during or after the game about calls made during the game.
