4. Scoring When a goal is scored: 1)Mark the time under the time box 2)Put the player number who scored the goal first, and the assist # second (Referees will report the goals, coaches should report the assist) 3)Put hash (I) marks under the period column in the player row as a secondary record of activity 4)When the period ends, mark the score box with a vertical line, to separate goal activity by period. 5)Referees will check in at the quarters to compare and confirm the score. Tip –Keep a piece of scrap paper, to jot down goal, scorer and assist and then transfer to score sheet as time permits.

10. Procedural Signs In addition to signaling penalties, the referees will provide procedural signs, including face-off, time-outs, goals, etc.

11. Penalties (Releasable-Unreleasable) In most cases penalties are releasable should the team not penalized score a goal. In that case, you simply use a demonstrative voice and tell the player and coach they player is released. However, certain personal fouls of a serious nature might be given an “unreleasable” penalty. In this case, the penalized player may not return to the game until the full penalty time has expired.

12. Score sheet- Penalty Time The referees job is to clearly and loudly articulate the penalty call to the table. If the referee making the call is the far-side (spectator side) referee he will yell to the bench side referee. That referee will then turn to the table and repeat the call (color, number, penalty and time). You then write that down under “Offense “ and record the time. *Timesheet versions might differ, but the important thing is to record the penalties. Rivercats U15 Red s Sonoma U15B 2J. Smith 3A.

13. Horn NFHS rules require that; “the home team is required to provide a working horn (hand-held or part of the score-board) to be used at the table to signify substitutions and the ends of periods. Failing to provide such a horn is penalized by illegal procedure” A coach can call for a horn if the ball goes out of bounds on the side-line. Not the end line, but the sideline. The referee will signal with both hands up (when the ball is out on the sideline and a horn can be blown
