FREE SWAG !
As your players move to the older divisions (10U→12U, 12U→14U, etc.) their matches need to be officiated by referees who have also been “upgrading” their skill set. The action gets a little faster and the players more sophisticated, so our volunteer referees need to be comfortable with this new level of play.
To prepare you for these new challenges, Santa Monica and neighboring regions offer free Referee Courses and help you with Certification requirements that will bring you to the “next level” of refereeing! (go to www.aysou.org to register)
- Intermediate Referee Class—Bev Hills, Aug 24-25
- Advanced Referee Class—Bev Hills, Aug 24-25
Refer to certification requirements (age, game count, courses, etc.) at:
Not only are these courses free (reimbursed by Region 20 if there is a fee at a neighboring region) but we want to encourage more referees to “upgrade” their certification to the next level by offering new FREE Referee gear upon completion of your upgrade!!!
