Fwd: [ccsl_teams] Referee Recertification and Training Opportunities - JAN-FEB 2010

Take a look at these referee training opportunities. We will need someone else to step up to be a ref at some point. It's a great way to help out, learn about the game, make some money, and help achieve world peace.

All:
Happy New Year.
I wanted to alert you all to fast-approaching referee training and upcoming recertification/development opportunities in the next 2 months.

1) VIRGINIA YOUTH SOCCER ASSOCIATION CONVENTION - JAN 22-23, 2010

The VYSA Soccer Convention will take place Friday, January 22 and Saturday, January 23, 2010 at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia. This convention will feature coaching lectures and demonstrations, lectures on a variety of topics to include Risk Management, Administration, Registration, etc as well as Referee lectures and the VYSA Annual Awards Luncheon. FRI is a reception; SAT training sessions, including referee programming with FIFA AR Kermit Quisenberry, start at 8:30 AM.

Sign up here: https://www.youthleaguesusa.com/vysa/2009/Workshop.html

2) STATE REFEREE PROGRAM - ADVANCED REFEREE TRAINING SESSION - JAN 24, 2010 in Fredericksburg

Start time: 10:00 AM; No COST

Kermit has worked many World Cup Qualifying matches in his career in addition to being an active AR in the MLS. At this clinic, Kermit will discuss such topics as dealing with coaches and spectators, proper positioning, and game management. This is a great opportunity to hear first-hand how referees at higher levels handle some of the same situations that all referees will encounter at some point in their officiating careers. It will also be a way to get additional training and instruction on referee topics from a well-known soccer official at no cost to you.

Please register for this event by accessing your profile in the youthleaguesusa system at https://www.youthleaguesusa.com/mdcva/2009/Profile.html and adding your name to the roster for the "Advanced Clinic" on January 24 in Fredericksburg.
