Ref Studio is a safe place for youth (and new adult) referees to practice refereeing under the guidance and support of experienced mentor referees. This program aims to provide our up and coming refs some confidence building to get them through their first games in a fun and encouraging environment.
Referee Studio will be taking over a pitch or two or three at Montgomery/Walnut fields several weekends during the fall. Referee mentors will be present to support new and youth referees who we encourage to come hang out, watch, learn, and best of all: practice refereeing!
Feel free to sign up for spots in RefScheduler, or, just show up if you are unsure and we can work with you. Come to the tent next to the big yellow Referees banner. We'll have drinks and snacks for all ref's that stop by.
If you have questions, send a note to Director of Youth Referee Development – Zak Stelly-Riggs
If you are an experienced referee interested or willing to help out, also please let us know.
We'll send dates/times for upcoming weekends in our weekly emails through RefScheduler, but below are the planned times we have right now.
