News for Fall 2009

From Bob Catalini (Aug 31, 2009)

Please note the following critical information:

Fitchburg High will not field JV Boys or Girls teams this fall. Please delete those games from your schedule. You will not be aware of away games they play so I will follow up on that.

Murdock has cancelled Middle School Soccer so delete those games as well. I will advise re: their away games which may impact your schedule as well.

'Gansett has added JV Girls' soccer. They will play following their Varsity games as long as the other school has a jv team as well. If you have a 'Gansett Var. G game please be sure to plan on doing JV game as well.

CMSO Policy for Referee Uniform Shirts Effective Fall 2007

The primary shirt is the classic solid black with white cuffs and collar.  The official alternate shirt is the yellow shirt with black pinstripes. It is preferred, but not mandatory, that the shirt does not have the USSF logo.

The yellow shirt is mandatory for all evening contests beginning at 5 p.m. or later.

At any game, the referees will both wear the same color and sleeve length shirt, and the shirt worn must not conflict with the colors of either team. If there is a shirt color conflict with either team, the referees will change to an alternate shirt color.

In all Central Massachusetts high school games which are served by our board members the referees must wear their CMSO patch and no other patch.
