Put on the stripes

Interested in becoming a referee?

There's a new referee clinic coming up. If you take it and ref 5 games for CCSL, they'll refund your fees. Plus, we'll look awesome as a team and I will admire and praise you. Our team must provide at least 1 ref or pay a $500 fine. Thankfully, we've got Jer and Liam right now who do the job nicely. But we could use you too!

All:

In case there are any stragglers who have expressed interest in refereeing, I wanted to extend an invitation to you and your teammates to become USSF soccer referees, which will allow them to officiate in any USSF-affiliated adult or youth league in the United States. If interested, there are two upcoming classes in which they can enroll.

Please note that these are likely to be the final USSF classes offered in DC/Virginia before the spring season begins. If your team is not already represented by a referee this season who works the match requirements, these are the last opportunities before the summer to take the class.

CLASS OPTIONS
A) 3/25/2008, 3/27/2008, 4/1/2008, and 4/3/2008 - Weeknights from 6:30-9:30 PM each night
