        Michigan State Youth Premiere Soccer League is a higher,competative soccer for u13's and older. Competition is statewide and culiminates with champions in each age bracket. In order to be eligible for game assignments you must be invited to be part of the referee pool. In order to be considered for invitation, you must demonstrate superior refereeing skills, have honored prior game assignments, and desire to improve your skills. It is a privilege to be in this referee pool, and you are expected to treat it as such. Although travel distance to game assignments is taken into account, assignments may require travel up to 100 miles. Referees in this group are regularly reviewed, and those that do not maintain a satisfactory performance are removed.

        There are six regional assignors assigning the center referee to each premier game in their region. Contact the State Youth Referee Administrator, Francisco Villarruel at syramich@gmail.com if you have questions or would like to be invited to join this referee group.  Local assignors assign the assistant referees to each premiere game.

Payment policy when Teams fail to appear, and inclement weather. 

Effective July 6, 2010

If one of the teams does not show for a scheduled premier game, the referees should check in the team (players, coaches and manager) that shows. Each official should sign their name on the match report as usual and report their assigned position. The state assigned referee should then mail the game report into the MSPSP office indicating which team did not show.  Assigned referees are not to collect any fees from the team that was present.   Upon receipt of the game report by the MSPSP office a check will be cut and mailed to the referees for their match fees.

If the referee crew deems a field unplayable due to inclement weather, and
they are on-site, collect the match fees from the teams along with the paper-work. Write down the specific reason the match was abandoned. Have both
coaches sign the match report. The referees keep the match fees.  IF THE REFEREES RETURN THE MATCH FEES TO THE TEAM, THE LEAGUE WILL NOT PAY THE REFEREES.

If the game is cancelled due to inclement weather, the referee crew will not be paid for the game if they are informed by the Regional Assignor by phone, text message or e-mail at least two hours prior to kick-off. This applies even if the referee is present due to a previous match. It is the time the notice is sent (not the location/schedule of the referee, or when the message is retrieved)  that is the determining factor. Make sure you persistently check your phone, text, and  e-mail for notices between halves if you have other games. Keep your Regional Assignor current with your contact information.
