Suffolk County stretches from the Nassau border all the way to Montauk Point — nearly 100 miles. It covers 10 towns, hundreds of incorporated villages, and thousands of youth and adult sports games every week. Finding a referee on short notice in Suffolk requires a local network, not a call center in another state. Emergency Refs is built here, for here.
