Carbondale Soccer Referee Program:
1-All referee assignments shall be prioritized for any one under the age of 22, or in college who has referee certification. If all attempts at securing qualified referee’s are not successful, any person with referee knowledge will be allowed to referee provided they are of legal age.
2-All referee assignments from the Chief Referee or designee will go out on Sunday nights and all responses who agree to referee must be made back to the Chief Referee or designee by Tuesday at 7pm. All referee's must fill out the online signup form via link below which is item #8. Payment will be made by check, referee will be a contractor, not employee and is responsible for their own taxes. All checks mailed from CSI are void after 60 days.
3-Assistant Referee Administrators are being used to monitor the fields and provide assistance to youth referee’s during quarter changes and half-time. This will allow youth referee’s to receive more real-time instruction.
4-If referee responses exceed the number needed for grades 1-8 games, referee’s will be assigned to assist with Prek/K program.
5-Work Permit Requirements. While this may seem unreasonable, it is State Law for referee's wishing to receive payment. Instructions and applications are found within this packet. After filing out your application and having your school principal sign it, you must call and make an appointment at the Regional Superintendent of Schools Annex Office to schedule a time to receive your work permit. You must have all documentation available before a permit will be issued. This is found in the link below.
