Subject:Referee Verification Form

As an organization we have an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requirement to report employee income. This requirement applies to referees we hire throughout the season.

In order to keep track of how much each referee is paid, we are requiring that each team have the referees sign the attached form and identify the amount they have been paid at every home game. It is extremely important that someone (coach or manager) be responsible to ensure these forms are completed and turned in to the referee coordinator by the end of the season, fully accounting for all monies distributed by your team to referees. You can prepare them ahead of time, so they are ready for every home game.

  • The completed forms will ultimately go to the referee coordinator. For convenience these can be dropped off at the manager meetings, or mailed to Ann Liberty at 16450 HarwellAvenue, Lakeville 55044. You may submit them throughout the season or all at the end.
  • The referee fees are paid for by the club and will not be charged against your team account, however you are responsible to turn in the payment forms verifying the payment of the referee funds you were given.
  • U9 and U10 games will have only a center referee. For U11 and above, if one of the three assigned referees does not show up for the game, it is your discretion as to whether you divide the money between the two that did work or return it to the club – but the form must provide the accurate division of the funds.

On the back of this letter you will find a spreadsheet outlining the payment amount for the center and line refs at each home game. In addition, there is a help guide for what denominations you’ll need for each game to have the correct cash; multiply the types of bills by the number of home games to determine how you should have your ref check cashed by the bank.
