Becoming a soccer referee is a very important way by which parents can help to make their childs soccer experience safer and more enjoyable. As soccer grows in our community, the number of our teams increases and so do the number of games played in Winona. To make sure that every game is run properly for the benefit of every child, we need more adult referees. For this reason, I would like to encourage more parents to become a soccer referee. This coming season, WYSA is making it more convenient for Winonans to become certified referees. WYSA will host a United States Soccer Federation (USSF) referee clinic right here in Winona. Please consider setting aside that weekend to take the referee course. By attending the course, you can learn a lot about this wonderful game your child plays and you can actively participate in the development of this sport in our community. (If you are unable to attend the referee clinic in Winona, please consider attending one of the clinics held around Minnesota.) Current referees can attend the recertification clinic here in Winona, as well. Once you become a certified referee, you can start out as an assistant referee (formerly known as linesman). As you gain confidence and experience, you can accept assignments to be a center referee. Whatever role you take, you can be certain that you are helping to make the soccer experience of your child better and safer. For those of you who decide to become a referee, I promise to assist you as best as I can both on and off the field. I cannot speak for the other experienced referees in our community, but I am certain that many of them will be willing to help you as well. I know that mentoring new referees is a very effective way of improving officiating for all. If you have any questions about the clinic, please call me. And remember, reffing is one of the few jobs for which you can actually say, I whistle while I work. As a soccer ref, you also become one of the MIB, or WIB if you are a soccer mom. Any questions, please contact me, George Thomas, USSF State Referee, 507-457-0403, or by email <gthomas@hbic.com>. Sincerely, Gabriel Manrique The 'Fourth' earns the same pay as
the assistant. The results are impressive. We believe our novice
referees develop faster, make the right calls more often, and have
fewer difficulties. |
