From the Referee Administrator
Coaches,
I would like to introduce myself, I'm Kevin Scherer, the referee assignor for the Westside Soccer Club.
The scheduling of your games at either Westside or Miami Whitewater will involve both the field and the referee assignors. League games are scheduled with the clubs and field assignors by CUSL. For pre/post play league games, I will take your reschedule request and work with the field assignors on your behalf. In either case (regular schedule or pre/post play), I will assign the referees to your games. Our past experience has shown that we need 4 days (on average) notice for a pre/post play game. Below is the help you can provide and the rescheduling process:
- You should come up with a couple options on dates/times for the game.
- Work with your opponent to agree on possible dates/times for the game.
- Contact me with the options.
- I will find a field (Westside or Miami Whitewater) for the game (options help).
- I'll assign the referees for your game (again, options help).
- I'll let you know if the game is rescheduled or we need more options.
- Darkness will make it difficult to get games in during the week.
- Mercy Soccer has first rights to Westside fields on Monday and Wednesday.
- Westside Mini Soccer has Tuesday and Thursday booked at Westside.
- A high number of referees officiate or play in High School games.
Please keep these things in mind as you try to schedule pre/post play games. We have found that Friday nights and Saturdays (games starting at or before 1:00pm) work the best. Please do what you can to schedule games on these days.
Finally, please let me know if you have any concerns, issues, or praise for the referees or field conditions in your game.
Thanks,
Kevin Scherer
