Referee Training & Clinics
The Mississauga Soccer Club is excited to launch the new Referee Development Program!
As a first step towards an excellence in refereeing, we’d like to introduce the courses for NEW REFEREES 2012.
As you wish to start your career as a soccer referee, you’re required to attend one of the following courses, please read carefully as each course is designed to a particular group. If you’re 12 or 13 years old by March 31st, 2012 you should take the MINI SOCCER REFEREE COURSE, if you’re 14 years old by March 31st, 2012 or older, you should take the ENTRY LEVEL REFEREE COURSE.
Mini Soccer Referee Course – March 24th
Registration Deadline March12th
A six hour course focused on the Mini game. You will gain an understanding of the rules of the game and how to manage situations that may develop during play. The course fee is $65 and includes a full referee kit (jersey, shorts, socks, whistle, flags and cards)
Mini soccer referees are required to recertify on an annual basis. If you took the mini course in 2011, you will have to take the mini course again in 2012. By retaking the course, a referee is automatically registered for the 2012 season with the OSA and gets an opportunity to refresh their refereeing skills.
Parents are required to attend 30 minutes of the course.
