Referees are needed for games to take place. All of our referees are volunteers. Almost anyone can be a referee.
REASONS GIVEN FOR NOT VOLUNTEERING TO REFEREE:
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SOCCER.
One of the best ways to learn more about soccer is to become a referee. There is a six hour course taught on
a Saturday (this year it will be on March 6 at the Prudential office located at 1111 Northshore from 8:15 to 4:30).
After your training you will not only know more about soccer but will be certified to referee!
I WON'T BE ABLE TO WATCH MY CHILD PLAY.
Our superduper referee scheduler extrodinaire will schedule your time to officiate
around your child's schedule. Depending on the age, you may even be able to officiate
your child's game.
I DON'T HAVE THE TIME.
Other than the one day training most officials call only one game....an hour long,
on a Saturday. If it is your child's game, you will have gotten to see your child play from a special perspective.
NO ONE HAS ASKED ME.
We're asking you now. AYSO depends on volunteers. We need your help! Contact Led Gardner at 584-1940

You will be surprised how much it will mean to your child when they know you are a referee. |
