Referee Information

• Starting with the 2022 season The Amato Family and team will be the assignors for South Orlando! We are very excited to join this great team.
• South Orlando will now use Gameofficials.net to assign, communicate and pay by direct deposit.
• Our goal is to have referee assignments out 2-3 weeks before games, depending on schedules made available to us.
• Payments will only be made through direct deposit. In most cases in your Gopay account the following Thursday after the game.
• Game reports will no longer be needed to be emailed but will be done by Gameofficials. With the home coach retaining the original.

Want to join the team as a referee for South Orlando SC games? The games are played at Young Pine Community Park, Barber Park and Airport Lakes. If you are a current referee and certified, join our group on Gameofficials.net (group 1792 and access code is 1792).

We will help you navigate this process.

Important Notes

1)Referees, make sure that the FYSA Game Report and FYSA Supplemental Referee Report are filled out correctlyand that you give a very detailed description of what happened.

2)Proper forms that are listed above may be found, and downloaded, on the Forms Link.

3)In an effort to expedite the process of being eligible to play again, should any problems occur, please contact your registrar who can then contact the GCF VP of Discipline to discuss the situation. Only your club’s president, registrar, clubs referee assignor, or game referee can contact the VP of Discipline directly. Everyone else MUST go through these four club contacts.

4)Players/coaches may return to regular activities after they have done the above. Sit out the required number of games, have the referee of each match sign the Red Card Completion Form while you sit on the bench with your team, and after the fine has been paid and received by GCF.
