The U. S. Soccer Federation National Program for Referee Development, through the involvement of each referee, is recognized by players, coaches and administrators as a program which consistently provides excellence in officiating and displays the highest level of professionalism through service and dedication.

To accomplish this, I, as a referee, am committed to:

• Officiating matches in a fair and safe manner that ensures player and spectator enjoyment.
• Maintaining my physical fitness for peak performance.
  Faithfully keeping all appointments assigned to and accepted by me.
• Supporting my fellow officials with loyalty, pride and dignity.
• Conducting myself in a way to be ethically and morally beyond reproach.
• Granting players and coaches dignity and self-respect.
  Contributing to the overall development of the National Program for Referee Development.
• Remaining committed to continuous learning and an improvement process that enables me to perform to my full potential.
