MASC Zero Tolerance Rule

In order to respect the Spirit of the Game, the following rule will be vigorously enforced:

All individuals responsible for a team and all spectators shall support the referee. Failure to do so will undermine the referee’s authority and has the potential of creating a hostile environment for the players, the referee, and all the other participants and spectators.

No one, except the players, is to speak to the referee during or after the game. Exceptions: Coaches may ask questions before the game, call for substitutions and point out emergencies during the game, or respond to the referee if addressed.
Absolutely no disputing calls, during or after the game. No remarks to the referee to watch certain players or attend to rough play. NO Yelling at the referee, ever, and no criticism, sarcasm, harassment, intimidation, or feedback of any kind during or after the game.
Violators may be ejected and are subject to disciplinary action by the Massachusetts Soccer Conference and Massachusetts Youth Soccer Association.
If coaches or spectators have questions regarding particular calls, rules, or a referee, or wish to give feedback regarding a referee, please contact the referee assignor or MASC director at MASC@asthomas.com.
