Important Referee Information for Coaches and Team Managers - Outdoor 2008
New Referee Information Sheets for CMSA Coaches and for ICL Coaches
Coaches, please be aware that the CMSA Zero Tolerance Policy to control referee abuse is still in place. To see the Zero Tolerance Policy, click here.
CWSC is supporting the CMSA Zero Tolerance Policy in three ways:
1. Creating a Referee Liaison Volunteer Role who is responsible for attending games and submitting a Referee Liaison Report - flagging any concerning behaviour of coaches and/or parents. See Referee Liaison Role description - click here.
2. Any team that has a Referee Liaison Report submitted for concerning behaviour will NOT have a referee assigned to the their NEXT home game. There will be no warning and no exceptions. Coaches and Parents will receive Coach and Parent Information Packages at the beginning of the season which give prior warning. Once the season has started no further warnings will be given.
3. Recruiting parents to referee games with ASA or ICL referee training - let's hope parents and coaches will maintain respect for fellow parents!
Let's let the kids play, the coaches coach and the referees ref!

All Other Rescheduling Requests
All levels of Play - all requests must initially be submitted via email to Jennifer Schofield at leagues@calgaryminorsoccer.com stating the reason for the reschedule. (Note: players on vacation and because the coach cannot attend the games is not a valid excuse for rescheduling.) If this initial request is approved, the team requesting the reschedule must follow all of these steps:
1. Contact the opposition team and find out if they will agree to reschedule.
2. Find a new date, time, and suitable field to play this rescheduled game (talk to your club field coordinator).
3. Find an ASA registered and certified referee (and two assistant referee for U16 and U18 Tier I's) who are properly qualified to and is willing to officiate your game. If you want CMSA to find referees for you for a rescheduled game, there will be a $50 fee.
4. Email all of this info (the original game information AND the new game information including referees names) to Jennifer at CMSA. She MUST receive all the information no later than 3 full business days prior to the original game or prior the rescheduled game date (whichever game comes first).
5. If approved, teams will receive a game update email, and the game will be changed on the website schedule. It is NOT approved until the website is changed.
*Note: CMSA CANNOT give you contact information for referees due to our privacy policy (PIPA). We suggest you contact your club or community field and referee coordinator for help with this as most referees that do indoor games also do outdoor games. Also you can talk to the referees at the soccer fields to see if they will do your rescheduled game. Once you have all this information, you must get the other team to confirm it.
