Rules & Laws of the Game

(11/18/09)

The following link will bring up the official 2009/10 Referee laws/guidelines booklet. This contains all of the rules of officiating if you ever need a reference. http://www.ussoccer.com/Referees/~/media/ECF01495634D47D3BC97E71F495EA201.ashx

One thing I have noticed is that our referees need a little more guidance with rules. If you have any questions about certain rules or laws of the game, please e-mail me. I will post here with the question and answer for everyone to see. The questions will remain anonymous, so please do not hesitate to contact me for any rule clarifications, this is what I am here for!!!!

Q: What are the rules for goalkicks in the indoor league?
A: Goal kicks can’t go past midfield without touching someone first.

Q: Can players use their arms to create room?
A: Yes, but as a referee you have to determine are they using their forearms and elbows to push other player which would then be considered a foul. They may use their shoulders to also shield the ball.

Q: What are the rules on substitutions?
A: Substitutions are similar to comp and outdoor, where you may only sub on anyone’s goalkick, anyone’s kickoff, and your own throw in. You may not substitute during free kicks or corner kicks.

New Referee Assigning Process

(4/8/2010)
Referees,

We now have a new assigning system in place! Please bear with us as we get used to the system, and be patient with this process. When the time comes, your schedules will now be posted online at the "Referee Login" page. If you are a new referee interested in getting assigned to games, please feel free to e-mail me to get registered as a referee.

Please include the following information:
First and last name
Cell Phone
Primary Email Address
Address
Date of birth
Age groups you are interested in refereeing
Availability

If you are a pre-existing referee, you should have already received your "Login" and "Pin Number" via e-mail. If you forgot your login information, please feel free to e-mail me for that information. If you would like to change your pin number, you may also e-mail me your request.

Note: ALL referees need to ensure that CISC has a current W-9 form on file, as well as a current copy of your referee certification card. Without these items you will not eligible to referee with CISC.

This new assigning process will make it easier for referees to pull their schedules for an entire season, plan around it, and let us know of their availability.

Thank you,

Megan Scott
