TREATMENT OF REFEREES:
Utah Premier Soccer League requires all players, coaches and parents to treat game officials with respect and kindness. We continue to see our referee numbers diminish due to mistreatment. We cannot continue to maintain a quality league with such mistreatment. Immediate steps are being taken against those found to have been involved in referee abuse or assault in any way. Please assist your friends in the game, in the bench or in the bleachers, via your own example, to treat all referees, regardless of experience or talent, with respect and kindness. The longer we keep referees, the more experienced they become and the more capable they are of doing a great job. We will not tolerate referee abuse! Any type of abuse will result in ejection from the game and facility. Serious suspensions will be imposed towards the individual or team for any such action. If you witness referee mistreatment in any degree, by anyone at all, please send an email to info@utahpremiersoccerleague.com with the game, date, time, teams and a brief description. Our disciplinary committee will investigate. In addition, referees are not required to give any player, coach or parent their name nor is Utah Premier Soccer League required to release that information. Such request will be deemed as a variation of referee mistreatment and will not be tolerated.
