Chandra,
Thanks for volunteering to referee in AYSO Region 64! Refereeing is a great way to support the league, get involved with our kids, and have fun! I hope that you will find refereeing as fun and challenging as I have over the past 12 years.
Before you can referee in AYSO, we need to train you. This email is intended to help you choose one of two training opportunities coming up. The first one is just the day after tomorrow, so please respond quickly if you want to attend that session.
1. Basic Referee Course, held on Thursday, 27 August (6:00 to 9:30 PM) and Sunday, 30 August (9:00 AM to 1:30 PM). This combines classroom training with some field work. There are no prerequisites other than an interest in enriching the lives of children through soccer.
2. Basic Referee Online Companion Course, held on Sunday, 13 September from 9:00AM to 1:30 PM. This training requires that you cover the material using an on-line course before the classroom session. This on-line training can be taken to your own schedule. The face-to-face training on 9/13 covers the field work and other matters which are difficult to teach on-line, and answers any questions you might have.
Either of these options will certify you as a Regional referee, able to referee in U8 and U10 matches. They both end in a test which confirms your understanding of the laws of the game. Option 1 probably takes more of your time, but contains more practical information that will help you start refereeing.
Please let me know which of these options you’d like to take. And please sign up as a volunteer at
if you haven’t already. Please let me know if you have any issues with signup or have any questions whatsoever.
Thank you for volunteering to referee in AYSO. I look forward to seeing you in the classroom soon, and then on the field.
