• After the game
• If there are questions amongst the referee team
  and you can discuss them, do so
• Be very very very careful about discussions with
  coaches or players after the game. Best
  advice.dont
• Assess yourself on the way home. Review what went
  right and what didnt and how you might do things
  differently

32
Upgrading
Why Should I ? How to do it?

• Recognition/respect (either publicly or as a
  former ref Austin Ford once told me "to
  yourself") of a level of accomplishment
• Better/more preferred assignments. Increasingly,
  assignors are basing assignments of referee
  ability and grade.
• The upgrade process really gives a referee a
  chance to be objectively viewed/judged by an
  experienced third party (assessor). This is a
  valuable step for  those really wanting to
  improve their officiating skill toward a uniform
  standard.
• Local requirement to officiate super Y league
  (assignor imposed)
• Required if you want to instruct or assess (if
  one uses the USSF recommendation for same)

33
UpgradingHow do I do it?

• Grade 8 to 7
• Do 75 games as a center and 25 as AR
• 12 months as a grade 8 and gt17 years old
• 85 on entry level written referee test
• Pass assessment in a u17 or higher level
  competitive match
• Pass physical fitness test
• Go to www.d2sra.com (click assessment) to get all
  the procedural information and a link to
  assessment forms to see criteria on how one is
  actually assessed.
