[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=SoccerRef][quote=Anonymous][quote=SoccerRef][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this is the problem....No one knows who to tell and when to tell them. So we are back where we started. So parents of young refs, please prepare you kid for the possible abuse he/she may receive and go and watch so nothing gets too out of hand. Be ready to intervene. Good luck everyone! Maybe get certified and you can ref with them.[/quote]

Email assignor as well.[/quote]

Forgot to log in before posting that, and then couldn't edit. 
Wanted to add that the MD form is a little bare-bones, but they'll get back to you to follow up. Never tried to report anything in VA/DC, so I can't tell you how well that works. [/quote]This is great.

Thank you for this. You would think that a link to these forms would be provided during every field certification class and every recertification and, also, you would think that each assignor would send them out before each season. I've never seen or heard of these. Thanks again. [/quote]

I'm certified through MD, and the State Ref organization sends this info out multiple times a year.
Just checking though my emails, and I see multiple assignors sent the info out as well. But yes, it should be all of them.

Here's what was said, along with the reporting link:

*Do NOT engage spectators!
*Treat what spectators say or do AS IF the Head Coach did or said (do NOT engage spectators!)
*Apply appropriate misconduct (warning, caution-yellow, or send off-red) directly to Head Coach per LAW 12 (do NOT engage spectators!) 
 
Please continue to report all Referee abuse in your match report(s), to your Assignor(s), and/or on the app HERE.  We are here to support you!  We immediately act on Referee abuse when we're made aware.  Coaches and Clubs have been suspended and expelled for their and their spectator's behavior.  [/quote]

Yeah, I'm in VA and have been reffing about 6 years and have never seen this or even heard it mentioned. [/quote]

For every game, whether it's rec or travel, tournament or league games, the center referee needs to complete a game report in the Assignr (at least all the assignors that I work with use Assignr...except one.). This is how the assignors know who refereed the games, thus, know who to pay. But these game reports also include a section for comments. This section is a place where the center referee can add a narrative about any sort of abuse, parent/coach misbehavior, etc. This is where you also include yellow cards and red cards, but you can literally add whatever narrative you want in this section. The assignors should be reading the narratives in the game reports when they are included. So, when in doubt, at the bare minimum, I would include any incidents in the game report. If the assignors deem a follow up is necessary, they should reach out to you. However, if there is anything like a parent or coach following you into the parking lot, I would escalate that very quickly and call the assignor immediately. And if you feel threatened in any way, call the police, then the assignor.[/quote]
