Professionalism
Professionalism• We are not professional referees, but referees
that are professional

Professionalism• You don’t have to want to upgrade or referee in
World Cup
• Expecting professionalism from everyone
• Have no problem with games uncovered due to unprofessional referees not getting games
Professionalism• Administration
– Don’t give double availability– Show up on time– Perform proper pregame– Inspect players equipment and passes– Begin games on time!– Post-game paperwork
Professionalism• Appearance
– Look the part– If shirt is on, it’s tucked in– If socks are on, they are pulled up
• Worried about tanlines, go be a lifeguard– Have the correct uniform
• Shorts – basketball, running, PE shorts???• Shoes – black must be predominent color
– Invest in new uniforms– Actually have and bring all your equipment
