Referee Appreciation Night at AC Saint Louis PDF Print

On Friday August 6, AC Saint Louis is hosting Referee Appreciation Night at its home game against the Vancouver Whitecaps.  According to the team, "We would like to recognize the referees of Missouri for their hard work and dedication to Missouri soccer of all ages. We would love to have Central Missouri well represented at this game."

AC Saint Louis is an expansion member of the USSF Division 2 Professional League.  This is the level just below MLS, so many of these players may make it to the next level.  Because of the high intensity of play, these games make for some exciting action and provide a great opportunity to see top level referees working difficult matches.  They play their home games at Soccer Park in Fenton, near the intersection of I-270 and I-44, which is about two hours from Columbia.  

If you and your family are interested in attending, please contact Kyle Hess so that special group ticket prices can be arranged with the team.

I think it was in Toronto. Do the local youth leagues supply referees for MLS games in Canada? [...]
  • REGISTRATION AND REFEREE INSURANCE
    Question: A new referee, or a referee reinstating after a lapse, is usually give a patch through the following year and an insurance policy corresponding to the patch (e.g. a new referee certifying in 2010 will get a 2011 patch and policy.) We have been told by USSF that the patch is good from time of [...]
  • COLOR OF PLAYER UNDERGARMENTS
    Question: I am a Referee Instructor. After watching the Seattle vs Colorado match, a student asked me if MLS does not follow Law 4 in dealing with undershorts. Seattle’s shorts are blue and yet several of their players were wearing knee length green sliding shorts and one player was wearing white. Since they were knee length, [...]
  • AR GOAL SIGNALS
    Question: In the past couple of months I’ve noticed a trend among some of the ARs I’ve worked with. I was taught that when a goal is scored into the goal on my side of the pitch, as an AR I should sprint briefly along the touchline toward the center circle. This is also how I’ve [...]
