SBPSL Player Update

- if the game is a forfeit and the players present with valid SBPSL ID's they may, with everyone's consent, mix players to form up teams and play a scrimmage game. This is a sanctioned SBPSL event that SSBRA referees can officiate, after collecting the usual game fees, and with the usual SSBRA insurance in effect

- if the game is not a forfeit, but one team is short-handed, the players present with valid SBPSL ID's can, with everyone's consent, mix players to form up teams and play the game. This is a sanctioned SBPSL event that SSBRA referees can officiate, after collecting the usual game fees, and with the usual SSBRA insurance in effect.

This is based on our receipt of a SBPSL directive that such games, where registered SBPSL players play for a team other than their own in these two limited cases, are sanctioned SBPSL games/events and all rules and coverage should apply. Per this directive from Andy Strasner, players may NOT switch sides once the match has begun.

If there is a sendoff to one of the players, be sure to report it to THE TEAM TO WHICH HE IS REGISTERED.

Message from the Board

Welcome to SSBRA.org, Soccer South Bay Referee Association's online resource center.

Our Association is made up of approximately 220 USSF certified referees living in and around the southwest portion of Los Angeles County, California. The Association will assign more than 1500 youth matches for Coast Soccer League during the 2011-12 season, all of the matches played by the Los Angeles J-League, an amateur men's league, a number of South Bay Peninsula Soccer League matches, all of the matches (11 v 11 and 7 v 7) played by South Bay Sports, Manhattan Beach 7 v 7 matches, Beverly Hills 7v7 matches, State Cup and National Cup matches organized by CYSA-S, and numerous tournaments held throughout Southern California. All of this totals to about 7,000 matches a year covered by SSBRA.

We meet regularly in a collegial setting to discuss soccer refereeing issues, receive training and to conduct the business of the organization. Our meetings often feature guest speakers including past and present FIFA referees.

You can read our current Association newsletter (a pdf) by clicking here.

We are proud of the services we perform for the community. In addition to paid services, our membership gets involved in volunteer work including the LA Watts Games.

If you are a soccer referee and would like to join our dedicated group, we invite you to submit an application and/or meet us as a guest at our next meeting. Our Board of Directors will act quickly to consider your application. After approval you can expect to start receiving assignments in short order.

If you represent a group that is looking for well-qualified, professional referees to serve your league or tournament, please contact our president directly.

Thank you for visiting. We hope you come back again soon, and if there is something more you would like to see on this site, please drop our President a line.
