Lightning Policy: Scugog Soccer has its own lightning detector. This device is about the size of a pager and is worn by one of the Directors at the fields whenever there is a threat of thunderstorms. It helps us determine if a storm is approaching and its approximate distance. This can detect lightning long before it can be heard. It's only used as a guideline but helps us to decide when to clear the fields. If you hear thunder, please be prepare to suspend your game. Notify your coaches that you may be stopping the game so there is less confusion if you do. If anyone sees lightning stop the game immediately and get everyone off the fields. This is OSA policy. Send everyone for cover (ie to their cars. 30% of lightning strikes are under blue skies before a storm arrives. 50% are after a storm passes and again under blue skies. (hence the term "out of the blue"). Lightning can strike from farther than you can hear thunder so be aware of the weather forecast before your game starts. What if I can't make a game I've been schedule for: If you can't make a game you've been scheduled to Ref or line notify the Referee Scheduler, or his/her backup. Before you do, attempt to find someone else who can cover for you. Use the Referee Contact List to help you find someone. They must be at your level or higher and need to be at least 2 years older than the the division they are referring. Lining requirements are not as strict. Don't use email to contact the scheduler if it's less than 48 hours before the game time, use the phone. Your email may not be delieved or received on time. Unless you receive confirmation directly from the scheduler that the message has been received it is still your responsibility to be at that game or have a substitute there. The more time we have to find a replacement the better. When do I need to arrive for a Game: For House League games (U4-U10) please try to be at the fields no later than 20 minutes before game time. For Traveling, Rep teams, you should be at the fields no later than 30 minutes before game time to check in, pickup corner flags, check nets & field, meet with coaches, check players for proper attire and jewelry. Referee Bag Check List: (Please do this before you leave for the fields). You should always arrive at the fields already dressed. Black shirt with OSA crest, shorts and socks (three strips) and NO hat. You should also have:
Please check in at the club house for field assignment changes or updates, and so we know you have arrived for your game. Do you have what it takes to be a Referee? Download a SSA Referee Application form here!
