Travel - Do I Have To Travel?
We will never make you travel as we understand this has a big impact on your parents.
However, keep in mind that there are many older, driving age ARs and some adult ARs
in the Program who do travel to officiate.
Game assignments are based, first and foremost, on the Zip Code in which you reside.
In order to balance our need to cover games with a full 3-official crew AND provide maximum
opportunities for all ARs in the Program to work, gain experience and earn fees AS WELL as
to accomodate each AR's individual schedule requirements, we ENCOURAGE all ARs to initially
work within a 6 mile radius of their home ZIP CODE.
This will generally result in game assignments within your Home Town Club as well as immediate neighboring Clubs.
Since we do not have the ability to speak with each of you to determine your specific needs, you will initially be setup this
way in Arbiter.Net. Thereafter, should your needs dictate a change to this assignment configuration,
you can work on that by emailing your LISRA G9 Assignor at G9@lisra.net All G9 Assignors have
extensive experience customizing Arbiter.Net assignment parameters and are happy to help you. All
we need is your communication with us to accomplish this.
Please keep in mind that restricting yourself to your own Home Club may necessarily severely limit
the number of game assignments you can possibly be offered. You may have a Home Club that has
a very limited number of U15 and older home games scheduled. You may have a Home Club that
has a large number of ARs, all of whom need to have their fair share of game assignments. Expanding
the area in which you are able to officiate will open up many more officiating opportunities for you.
