Referees are an important part of the Dublin Soccer League
program. Please take your referee assignments seriously.
- At Avery Fields, show up early and check in at the
Referee table in the South side of the Concession stand so the Paymaster
knows you are there and your field is covered.
- If you are unable to make a game, you must find an appropriate
substitute (that would be someone with at least as much experience as you
and of at least the same age). Please notify the DSL office with the name of
your substitute. The DSL tracks referees missing games.
- Dressing appropriately encourages players, coaches, and
parents to treat you with respect on the field. Your kit should include a referee
shirt, black socks (pulled up), black shorts, black shoes, a whistle, cards,
and a watch (preferably with countdown timer).

All age groups switch ends of the field after halftime
If game is stopped for injury, and the player is replaced, the
DSL (except MSSA/HSSA)
allows all subs at the halfway mark to substitute from either team
If a player for the
opposing team is at the mid-field flag waiting to be a substitute when the
team that
is awarded a throw-in has a substitute to enter the game, the substitute
for the opposing team may also
enter the game. If the team that has been awarded a throw-in does not have
a substitute,
then neither team may substitute a player.
