The training of our referees is an ongoing task.
I would ask that you consider “Taking up the Whistle”. Refereeing can be a very rewarding experience and a character builder.
Should any of you be interested in becoming referees you should be aware of the above three clinics which are being run to enable you to become a soccer referee.
Briefly, the training is a 1 day clinic and on successful completion, the SSG referee is eligible to referee mini soccer games and to act as assistant referee in other youth soccer competitions.
Apart from the extra pocket money ($10 per game - mini), refereeing can help in player development and in leadership skills.
To apply to register, please contact George Tweedlie by e-mail at joantweedlie@hotmail.com using the subject line “Soccer Referee SSG 2010” and give the following information.:-
First Name.
Last Name.
Gender.
Mailing Address(including postal code)
Which clinic you would prefer to attend.--SELECT ONE ONLY
Home phone number.
E-mail address.(one only)
Date of Birth.
The cost of the clinic is $35. In past years, the girl's soccer association has refunded the clinic costs for female players/residents.
Final details of the clinic(format/timing/method of payment/what you need to bring etc.etc) will be issued a few weeks before the clinic date. You will be advised by e-mail if your application has been successful.
There are limited spaces available and registration will be done on a first come first served basis.
If the clinic of your choice is overbooked, you may be offered a spot on one of the other clinics.
Some general notes on refereeing in Richmond :-
1. Minimum age to start refereeing is 12 (a 3 month grace period at clinic time is normally accommodated).
2. The certification on successful completion of the clinic is “Small Sided Game” referee.
3. Small Sided Game(SSG) referees are permitted to referee any mini-soccer match in British Columbia.. A computerized system(on-line) for scheduling is used. Mini soccer matches are played on Saturday mornings and Saturday afternoons—(September to March) and in Spring League(April to June)-various days/evenings.
4. Small Sided Game referees are also permitted to act as Assistant Referee(Linesmen) in youth soccer matches in British Columbia. It is unlikely that newly qualified SSG referees will be assigned immediately to be A.R. in Richmond. There is supplementary training(free) available for those who show an interest in being A.R. Those who are successful in this training will get priority in A.R. assignments.
5. The CSA/BCSA referee development model(beginner to FIFA) can be viewed on the BCSA website. at www.bcsoccer.net
