US Soccer – Respect The Call

As we get ready for our new season, let’s remember to show good sportsmanship to everyone on the field. Our teammates, our opponents, and the referees all deserve our respect. US Soccer’s referee abuse prevention initiative is called Respect The Call. It encourages players, coaches, and spectators to show respect to all referees and officials during their matches. Remember, without referees we cannot have games.
