MARK YOUR CALENDARS
Western South Dakota Soccer Referee Association along with the South Dakota State referee will be hosting a USSF National Instructor in Rapid City.
Saturday MARCH 24th an all-day clinic will be held. We are working to pin down location at this time. Tentatively time will be from 9am to 5pm with a lunch break.
Last year in Sioux Falls we had over 100 referees take advantage of this opportunity. These are TOP NOTCH National Instructors that we are able to bring in for your continued development. DO NOT miss out on this opportunity to learn from some of the best instruction US Soccer provides.
There is NO FEE to attend this class. If you need to test to recertify for 2012, test date and location will NOT be during this workshop, but at an additional time and location. This clinic will cover your required classroom time necessary.
NEW REFEREE TRAINING
New Referees attend a two-day course. Instruction is provided by the State's most qualified instructors at the DASC office. Course material covers the FIFA Laws of the Game, and the procedures and mechanics Referees use throughout each match. Graduates of the course are typically assigned to U10, U12, and U14 recreational matches. There is no fee for the course, but new Referee registration with USSF is $40 for Referees under the age of 18, and $45 for adults, which includes a $5 fee for an annual background check for adults. Attendees must attend both days of class, field training (see below), and pass a certification exam in order to become certified.
Date: Saturday and Sunday, March 17/18: Saturday, 9:00am - 5:00pm (with a 1-hour lunch break), Sunday 1:00-7:00pm
Prompt arrival and active participation typically reduce the class time. We don't normally expect the New Referee training to last the full amount of time allotted.
Field Training: New Referees are required to attend a field training session with advanced Referees, to "learn the ropes" of refereeing in a practical, hands-on manner. Dates and locations for field training will be provided during the classroom training. Referee certification is not complete without the field training, so we'll do our best to accommodate everyone's schedules, within reason.
Attendees, Please RSVP to the DASC office NO LATER THAN March 9, 2012. There will be some materials provided to attendees, which they are expected to review and know prior to the course. Late sign-ups cannot be facilitated.
