The Mandatory Meeting in Meriden was held on August 5,2000. The featured
speaker was Dr Joe Machnik and, as usual, he held the membership in
the palm of his hand for 1-1/2 hours.By request, following is a list
of Dr. Machnik's 'Keys to Successful Refereeing'
1.Be in charge.The referee is in charge of the game and his/her calls
dictate how the game will be played.Do not allow things to get out of
hand early on. Avoid advantage until game control is established.
2.There are certain key periods during the game when a referee
has to work extra hard to stay on top of things.The 1st fifteen minutes
of each half is very essential as the Referee establishes game control
and flow.The last 15-20 minutes of each half is even more demanding as
fatigue becomes a factor, resulting in mistakes and frustration.
3.Try to stay within 10-15 yards of play whenever possible
Imagine that a television camera is following the play. You want to be
on the fringes of the picture to the side, so that you have a good
view of the action.
4.Prevent violence by preventing frustration. Calling the simple
holding fouls will prevent a player's tendency to lash out at the
player holding him with an elbow.once game control has been achieved,
then the referee can allow the game to flow more freely.
5.Stamp out serious foul play & acts that have no place in the
game,including over the ball tackles, tackles into the Achilles
tendon, elbows to the head and off the ball fouls.
6.Dissent can not be tolerated. These include abuse of
Assistant Referees, visible gestures, confrontations in the face of
the referee, and packs of players chasing an official.
7.Get 10 yards during free kicks. Failure to do so undermines
credibility of the referee and results in erosion of control.
8.Communication and teamwork with Assistant Referees is vital
Make sure that eye contact is established and information exchanged
at every stoppage.
9.Read the body language of players. Deal with trash talking,
prevent off the ball holding/pushing, and diffuse aggressive attitudes
that do not belong in the game.
10.All players must be protected. referees insure that skillful
players will have the opportunity to exhibit their athletic abilities.
If we provide a safe environment for the talent to be showcased, then
the game will flow and that is what makes the game a joy to watch
One situation that has caused confusion on the field relates to what happens
when a player is injured. When does the injured player have to leave the
field? And what are the 're-entry' options? Rule 5-5-e states that an injured
player must leave the field when the referee stops the clock. If the injured
player is substituted for, it constitutes a regular substitution, and the
restrictions concerning re-entry apply. Only in the second period could this
player 're-enter.' Of course if a card was given to an opponent who caused the
injury, or if the player must leave due to bleeding or blood on the uniform, a
'non-charged substitution' may be made. The affected team does not have to
play short. If the player is not substituted for (team plays 'short'), the
player may return 'during the run of play' when beckoned on by the referee or
assistant referee. In this situation (only) the injured player may re-enter
the field of play from anywhere - - he or she does not have to enter from
midfield. One additional point to mention is the fact that under NCAA Rules
the goal keeper is exempt from the mandatory substitution requirement when the
referee stops the clock. (Under High School Federation rules, the goal keeper
would also have to leave the field.)
So what does this mean to the referee? The referee should not automatically
stop the clock to check on the condition of a player who has apparently
sustained an injury. Let the clock run until you are sure the player needs to
be attended to. The timekeeper should be instructed to keep the clock running
when there is an injured player, until the referee signals for time to stop.
Of course if a player is clearly injured to the extent that he or she will
have to be attended to, you should stop the clock immediately, and beckon the
trainer onto the field. Complete your player assessment as quickly as possible
so as not to waste time - - especially important near the end of periods when
the score is close. Since the player can re-enter 'on the fly,' it would be
best to stop the clock when little time remains, forcing the player to leave
the game, at least momentarily, rather than upset the other team due to what
might be a time wasting tactic. If the coach of the injured player is upset
that you stopped the clock, and are making the player leave, appease the

I would like to thank NEISOA for providing the opportunity to seek support for Larry Briggs’
induction into the UMass Athletic Hall of Fame, Class of 2008. We ask both active,
non-active and past members (retired) of NEISOA who knew Larry or knows of Larry’s
contributions to soccer to join us in this effort. Mr. Briggs needs your help in sending
letters or E-mails of support. Let me thank those of you in advance for your effort in this
cause. It is important to realize that whatever we have reaped monetarily or personally
through soccer officiating is a direct result of Lawrence E. Briggs vision and leadership
as the “Founder and Father of Soccer Officiating in New England and in the United States.
In addition to Larry’s story on the “Honor Roll” Link on the NEISOA website, I offer you the
following information:

He called 30-40 N.E. referees to a meeting in a classroom at Clark University to formulate
plans and organize NEISOA.
He called six reputable officials from the northeast to a 1963 meeting in Skinner Park,
So. Hadley, MA to formulate plans and organize NISOA.
He directed and served as parliamentarian at a meeting of 66 U.S. referees at the Manhattan
Hotel in NYC and founded NISOA, January 1964.
Larry is an “Honorary Life Member” of all three associations.
The PVSOA “Larry Briggs Award” is presented annually to an individual who has made

Dues Collection
A little reassurance is in order. The expectation is that this organization is made up of
mature, responsible individuals who understand that it is their personal obligation to
get their dues paid on time. If a Chapter Contact reminds you of that obligation they
are not harassing you, they are doing you a personal favor. Secondly, the Chapter Contacts
are not racing down to the bank to deposit your check and collect the interest on your
deposited check. The Chapter Contacts are following a procedure that allows you to send
one check. These checks are deposited and National & Regional checks are then submitted
along with required documentation. The Chapter Contacts receive no fee for this service.

The Cape Cod Chapter was dissolved in October of 2009 upon the transfrer of Brian Shacter to CA
The NEISOA Annual Mandatory Meeting was held on Saturday, August 1.
We were fortunate to have three outstanding Presenters:
Cliff McCrath, outstanding former coach at Seattle Pacific University, where he won
five NCAA D2 championships,and current NISOA/NCAA Liaison, gave a motivational
talk. He was followed by Tom Supple , current FIFA Assistant Referee, who imparted
some of his knowledge on the duties and responsibilities of the Assistant Referee.
Tom arrived home from a MLS function at 4 am and made the extra effort for us.
Not only an outstanding presenter, but a true role model as well.
The last session was a typical top notch presentation by our NEISOA Rules Interpreter
and 40 year Award recipient, Dr John Buckley. John has a gift.
Overall it was a smooth running event with the largest turnout we have had. 316
NEISOA officials made the effort to come to Groton. Next year, New Hampshire.
All members should be aware that the NISOA insurance that each of
us pays for, will not cover you in the event an incident occurs, if your game
partners are not NISOA members and/or you are not using NCAA rules. There
have been instances of Non NISOA crews being assigned ( ACC?) and you would
have personal exposure. For that matter, the USSF coverage would not apply
in a non-affiliated USSF game either, so beware!!
To all members who have not yet satisfied their obligation to take the NISOA PT
test prior to working a college game in 2009. The stated NEISOA policy is that
any member who works a college game prior to taking the NISOA physical will be
suspended. ALSO, any member who works a college game with a non nisoa member
OR A MEMBER WHO IS NOT IN GOOD STANDING is subject to disciplinary action.
You would be jeopardizing your status AND THE STATUS OF A FELLOW MEMBER
if you should elect to ignore this policy,
If either team is not leading i.e. ?winning? the game the clock is not stopped
on any substitution. If one team is leading and that team substitutes during
the last five minutes of the second period only, the clock stops;regardless of whether
the losing team substitutes.
