SPRING 2023 REFFING OPPORTUNITIES...
2023 USSF recertification required (w/ SafeSport for refs age 18+)
1. To Referee CSC Home RECREATIONAL “Intercounty” - SPRING '23 season begins April 1, 2023 - click here to submit RSVP reservation form each week from Sunday AM to MONDAY 11pm. If you miss our deadline, check if the form is accepting refs for the weekly standby list. Each week RSVP’ing adds you to the pool that CSC uses to assign refs for Cranford Intercounty home games. CSC will assign referees for about 15 teams ages U9 thru HS each season. Assignment preference is given to Cranford residents & students, based on ref experience & competition level of the match.
Every effort will be made to assign confirmed games by Wednesday noon which will let you submit your availability for Travel (MNJYSA/EDP) by Wed night deadline (SEE BELOW)… but our timeline ultimately depends on game confirmation by coaches. If you don't get Cranford Rec assignments by Wed 8pm PLEASE RSVP WITH PETE/TRAVEL THAT YOU ARE 100% AVAILABLE so you don't miss any referee opportunities due to us.
2. NEW FOR SPRING. Young referees will be used for RECREATIONAL GRADE-2/U8 soccer. Similar to winter indoor except 5v5. Saturday mornings April 22 until mid-June, 2023. MORE INFO COMING SOON.
3. To Referee for local TRAVEL GAMES (MNJYSA/EDP) - 10-week FSPRING '23 season starts March 18, 2023 - in Cranford, Westfield, Linden, Clark, Elizabeth, Rahway, etc. – click to email Referee Assignor Pete Milwicz - the NJ Area 12 assignor for instructions to get in the MNJYSA ref assignment pool. MNJYSA handbook click here. NOTE – refs submit availability to Pete M each WED by 11:30pm & these assignments are typically sent to you on Friday. CSC IS NOT INVOLVED IN ASSIGNING THESE GAMES. If you submit/RSVP for MNJYSA prior to Cranford Intercounty game assignment you must re-submit the CSC form to update your availability for Cranford assigned games (above).
If you were assigned and have a CONFLICT please contact us ASAP. Double-booking assignments with CSC/MNJYSA & no-shows must be avoided. Just pick where/when you want to referee, RSVP, await assignment then confirm attendance. If you don't get Cranford Rec assignments by Wed 8pm PLEASE RSVP WITH PETE/TRAVEL THAT YOU ARE 100% AVAILABLE so you don't miss any referee opportunities due to CSC.
Thanks refs!
