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.
Referee Recertification:
We encourage all Certified Referees to attend the Advanced Referee Training in Rapid City on March 24th, of which you should have already been notified through the State Referee Committee. Your attendance there will serve as your recertification for 2012. However, in case you cannot travel to Rapid City that weekend, local courses are available to you at the dates and times noted below.
Local Training:
Certified Referees who wish to participate in games in 2012 are required to recertify. Training is at the DASC office.
If you are currently a Grade 9: Please be aware that Grade 9's are strongly encouraged attend the Bridge course and upgrade to Grade 8. This will be in conjunction with any of the Recert dates listed below. Don't worry; if you don't want to do higher-level games, we won't assign you to them. But we are phasing out the blue badges to help reduce the abuse of Referees.
Reminder for everyone: Prompt arrival and active participation typically reduce the class time. We don't normally expect the training to last the full amount of time allotted.

Saturday, February 25 9:00am - 3:00pm ~ (non-competitive referees) RSVP by February 17th
Sunday, February 26: 1:00-7:30pm ~ (competitive referees) RSVP by February 17th
