Referee Issues We know who the referee is. We don’t need you to help us establish their identity. We don’t have enough referees and how you can become one. What constitutes referee abuse. Who makes decisions at game time if teams aren’t ready to play. The referees don’t know the league rules. After the referee has been an idiot for 90 minutes, the referee’s opinion on how many games you’re suspended isn’t binding on us 2015 ASL Preseason Meeting10

Insurance The league offers a player accident insurance program as part of our general liability coverage. We are discontinuing the additional insurance coverage program.
