Tournament Organization

Organizations occasionally will organize tournaments for fun. The teams are often "pick-up" in nature. The players will range from former professional to "haven't kicked a ball in 20 years".

These organizations will contract with Pensra to provide referees. These assignments can be a lot of fun and sometimes challenging. You never know. The organization is looking for the referees to help "manage the spectacle". Referees are asked to help keep the event on time, and to remember the three keys to refereeing:

  • SAFE
  • EQUITABLE
  • ENJOYABLE

Most important keep the event SAFE. The adults have to go to work tomorrow.
