REFEREE PROGRAM in Yorktown

Linesman program​

This program was designed to help our young future referees become confident in their referee ability.  We place our linesman on very young games starting in our Bantam program (7-8 year olds).  In this division they are actually the referee and are in the middle of the field, not on the line.  The objective is to get them confident enough to blow their whistles when the ball goes in or out of bounds or when there is foul. 

In-house games (8-11) boys and girls provide an opportunity for our linesman and referees to run a three man system.  We will try to put all linesmen on the lines and our beginner referees in the center.  In most cases there will be a mentor in attendance to monitor their performance. These games are the gateway into the travel program.

Eligibility:  Child must be 12 years old

Uniform requirement: No uniform required / get a pinnie from a coach to wear.
