Berks County Assignor
Berks Referees,
After a lengthy period of reflection, I have decided not to continue assigning. Although I will continue to be a certified USSF assignor, I will not be assigning games for the fall season. I have contacted each of the leagues and clubs that I have worked with to let them know of my decision. I did not recommend an assignor to take my place, so that is a decision they will be focused on making in the next month. Although I believe that a single assignor for all of the Berks area is best for coordinating referees and games, you will probably end up with more than one assignor working in the area.
I’ve enjoyed getting to know you and working with you for the past year and a half. I’m proud to say that, with your help and dedication, we were able to provide the leagues and clubs with full crews for all of their games in that period. That is a huge accomplishment!
I will be continuing as the President of the Reading-Berks Soccer Referees Association, so you will still hear from me. RBSRA exists to support you, so I hope you will continue to take advantage of the events and programs it offers you. Also, don’t hesitate to reach out to me, if you have a referee issue that you need help with.
Bob Geyer

Some Notes from the Association
- There are a couple of local tournaments that are approaching quickly. RBSRA highly recommends that all officials purchase a GREEN alternate jersey, to add to your yellow one. You will find that you'll use it more than a red or blue jersey and it will give a three-man crew the flexibility to use a second color that everyone has.
Young guy, old-style jersey. (no longer recommended by USSF)
Old guy, new-style GREEN jersey. (highly recommended by RBSRA) Please click on Official Sports link at the bottom of home page to order. |

The Association will be holding a couple of Education Classes, in August, to go over the changes and talk about using them in the fall season. Please stand by for more communication from Bob Geyer, our RBSRA President, regarding these meetings.
The Laws of the Game 2019/2020 have been released!!!They are on the LEFT. Click on the left-hand image to download. PLEASE note, EPSARC and EPYSA will be deciding how to incorporate the new rules prior to the start of the 2019 fall season.
