GSSL Gameday Procedures
GSSL requests that referees be familiar with the following procedures, in addition to the GSSL Rules of Competition.
- Please ensure that all goal frames are anchored securely – report deficiencies.
- Please inspect the playing field for any safety obstructions – report deficiencies.
- Please strive to complete your team check-in prior to warm-ups to avoid having to interupt team warm-ups.
- Please be sure that all players and coaches have laminated passes issued for the teams that will be participating in the match that you will be officiating. Check the team name on each pass.
- Prior to each match, please be sure to get a match report from each team. One report is for your records the other is to be mailed to the match secretary.
- Prior to each match be sure to get an envelope stamped and addressed to the match secretary. You are at liberty to refuse to start the match until it has been provided.
- Please ensure that the match report is completed following the match and that all hand-written comments and names are legible.
- Please be sure to add the names (not just the numbers) of players who are issued yellow cards.
- Please include telephone numbers of the referee and assistant referees on the match report.
