RBSRA’s Annual Reading United At The Field Gathering
|
Wilson High School - Gurski Field
|
On Saturday, June 15th, Reading United will face the Ocean City Nor’easters and we will be there! RBSRA Chapter members will receive free admission ($10) and a concession ticket ($5). If you are not a member, you will have the opportunity to enjoy these benefits by joining the Chapter at the event. Jim Baker and Al Cross will be just outside the gate with the concession tickets and signing up new members.
This year we will again have access to the referees assigned to the game and be able to listen to their pre-game conference. And, for those that are able to stay after the game, we will be able to ask them questions about how they handled specific game situations. The game Assignor is also working to have an Assessor attend the game and sit with us. This is an annual event that the Chapter uses for a time of fellowship and also as a training opportunity. We observe the referees and discuss their performance, the decisions they make, and different ways of handling situations. It’s a great opportunity to meet fellow RBSRA referees for the first time and to renew old friendships. Join us! Let us know you’re coming! It's not necessary to register, but we would sure like to know to be on the look-out for you. Plus, we'll be able to send you an email, if we have a news update for you. You can sign up by using the event form on the RBSRA home page: www.rbsra.com We hope that you will join us. |
RBSRA T-shirts will be available for purchase at the game.
Order one now and pay at the game. Shirt details and an order form are located further down the page. |

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. (one look at our State Cup Finals refs, above, shows that they will get used)
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. |
- Also, there are more LOTG changes coming!!!!!
|
There are Big Rule changes to the Laws Of The Game on the horizon. 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. These are NOT to be used until you hear from our President and assignor Bob Geyer.
