Ref Uniforms

Do I have to throw out all of my referee jerseys and buy new ones?

No. The previous jersey design is perfectly acceptable. You should not feel obligated to discard these still-approved referee jerseys in order to purchase the new design. Purchases of the new uniform may be made when you need a new jersey or you want to add an additional color. This is also true for the socks.

What if I show up to a game and I have a referee jersey that is the previous design and the referee, or referees, I am working with has a referee jersey that is the new design?

You may all work the game in the jerseys you have. It is acceptable if one or two referees have the previous design and the others have the new design. It is more important that they be the same color. A referee assessor may not deduct points for a crew that has mismatched uniform designs, provided that the uniforms feature approved designs and are the same color.

Will there come a time when the new jersey design will be the only design that will be recognized by U.S. Soccer?

There is no date set, and no plans to set a date, by which the old jerseys will be “phased out.” To be clear, both the old and new designs comply with the “Standards of Dress and Appearance” listed in the referee administrative handbook – the only differences are aesthetic. For the old jerseys to be phased out, it would require a change to these Standards, and U.S. Soccer would not make such a change without providing a fair amount of lead time to the entire referee community. It should be noted, however, that OSI has ceased manufacturing the previous design.

Will the new design be the only design accepted at USYS or USASA regional and national competitions?

No. Again, the parameters for referee uniforms are set by U.S. Soccer and approved by its Board. Both the old and new design meet the standards set by U.S. Soccer, and its organizational members have a responsibility

Indoor Soccer always fun to watch



Well, I went to my first Indoor soccer game for the season and after my injury on 07/12/08, my sons 17th birthday and as always it was enjoyable to watch the teams play. I just wish it was a bit more comfortable for me to sit now and watch a game, my back injury has really changed my lifestyle.

I have posted most of the pics on my flickr account.

However here are a few.

The Indoor game was played at MEtro on Folsom Bld in Rancho Cordova, CA

What is holding you back?

Here is some food for thought..........

Do you expect for something to go wrong in your life?
Do you expect to not be able to pay your bills?
Do you think your not good enough for this or that?

Now here is the food for thought::::

Why have low expectations?
Start everyday with positive thoughts.............
Do not Expect bad things to happen, cause they then will

It is ok to be disappointed in life and to have your feelings hurt

However if we do not EXPECT GOOD THINGS for ourselves how do you think good things will come our way?

Stop saying it will never happen..
Start saying YES IT WILL HAPPEN
stop saying I am never gonna get my bills paid off
Start Saying I WILL HAVE MY BILLS PAID OFF SOON

HAVE FAITH..............in GOD............Have FAITH.in YOURSELF

You are the only one that SHAPES your future and if you want it to be negative then that is what it will be.

STOP RUining things for yourself...


SAY IT THREE TIMES WITH ME OUT LOUD

I AM EXPECTING GREAT THINGS I AM EXPECTING GREAT THINGS
I AM EXPECTING GREAT THINGS

Say it everyday and every night until it runs through your mind without hestitation..

This goes for all walks of life.........
