Re: 2010 Referee Recertification Process

Date: August 4, 2009

Please read this entire letter to ensure you understand how to recertify for 2010.

Please do not complete the registration form included with this letter at this time, bring the recertification form with you to the recertification course you plan to attend, instructions for completing the form will be given at this meeting.

As you already know, Indiana uses an online registration program, you will need to put the following address in your computer browser to get started, the address is below….your information is already in the system, but you must update the information.

https://ssl.hammersoccer.com/IndianaRef/RefereeClinics.asp

At this point please go to the https://ssl.hammersoccer.com/IndianaRef/RefereeClinics.asp and when you are in the system, at eReferee Registration System Login Here please select Login Here this will take you to the screen to begin to update your info. You may also select a course to attend, but not all courses are in the system yet so you will need to come back to this same site to check for new courses from time to time.

Your social security number is no longer needed/required, the best way to get into the new system is with your name and birthdates, you need both to get into the system. To get into the system with your name you will need to enter your name just as it is in the system. (For example, if you name is in the system as Richard but you go by Rick, Rick will not get you in the system, you must type Richard.) If you are having trouble getting into the new system contact your DRA so they can tell you just how you entered your name into the old system.

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH REGISTERING PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DISTRICT REFEREE ADMINISTRATOR. IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH REGISTERING HAVE YOUR DISTRICT REFEREE ADMINISTRATOR SEND YOU YOUR INFORMATION THAT IS IN THE INDIANA DATABASE.

  • RECERT RECAP BY RICK BALAK SDI

    The recertification period came to an end at the end of February with 53 classes being available since the beginning of November 09 for referees to attend. This number is one of the highest opportunities of recert classes the SRC has ever offered. With each of you now ready to go into the new season let’s just recap some of the information you learned during your recert class.

    This year the Federation started focusing on aspects of officiating and giving us directives and clarifications to help us all have clearer views of how to handle certain situations.

    One of those we discussed was Handballs. Remember the movie clips we showed on defensive players “making themselves bigger” by extending arms or legs and blocking passing lanes. We also showed videos on player’s hands and arms being in “Unnatural positions” and making contact with the ball. Each of these now should be interpreted as a handball.

    We also discussed the need for each of us to make quick decisions when an injury occurs in our games. Analyze the injury and either stop the game for it or continue play. If you continue, make that decision public to the players. The reason being so that players don’t kick the ball out of play. This keeps the authority of stopping the game with you.

    Speaking of injuries we emphasized the need to:

    1. Stop the game for head injuries

    2. Stop the game for serious injury.

    3. When in doubt, think safety first.



    Remember the videos on handling FREE KICKS. The two main points were for referees to be proactive when interference begins and to be present at the point of the interference.

    Using your speaking skills as much as possible to get player back the 10 yards.



    Advantage had 4 P’s when considering using it or not.

    1. Posession of the ball

    2. Personell or player’s skill

    3. Potential for a good attack

    4. Proximity to the goal

    Use it as a tool to keep the game flowing, but not when it jeopardizes game control.

    Also remember the BLITZING RESULTS we discussed. A few were:

    1.Whistle loud enough

    2.Ar’s stay with the 2nd to last defender and run all balls to the goal line.

    3. After substitutions restart with a whistle

    4. Keep near play and if hard fouls occur, GET THERE WITH A STRONG WHISTLE AND PRESENCE.

    5.Use good flag and arm mechanics as either an AR or the Referee.

    6. Remember to look professional and make a Good First Impression.
