Every season, AYSO takes a game day to ask that all teams provide special recognition towards our volunteer referees. Our referees dedicate many hours each weekend to make sure that youth soccer games can take place at the highest level of quality and fairness. We believe that it is important to recognize the efforts of these hard working volunteers at every game each weekend and this weekend is to provide a bit of extra thankfulness.
How does Region 1631 show appreciation to our Volunteer Referees?
We ask, at your game this Saturday, that every team could provide at least a thank you card and/or a small gift for each Center Referee (CR) and Assistant Referee (AR) at your game as an extra measure of thanks. (Gift cards are highly recommended!)
What about teams playing an away game?
Please recognize your referees at the away games just like you would at our home games. Referee Appreciation is being observed with all other AYSO Regions across Area 2J.
Team Managers: Help organize a way for your Team to come up with a collective gift for your 2-3 referees this Saturday.
