Dear Coaches, We’d like to offer you a way to take your coaching to the next level--become a referee! A deeper understanding of the Laws of the Game allows you to take advantage of them during play by, for example, setting an effective offside trap. Many of our advanced coaches are referees, and vice versa, because it builds your soccer savvy! The coming Select season is a great opportunity to build your skill as a referee. There are games for every level of official, and you’ll have the best possible view of some great soccer. Help the kids have games that are safe, fair, and fun, while getting a great workout and having fun yourself! If you are a woman, the referee corps needs you, too! Approximately half of our players are girls, but few referees are female. Be a role model and show the girls (and the boys!) that women can excel at every aspect of the game! See below for course information. Please contact me if you have any questions. Everyone plays, everyone coaches, everyone refs!
