Do we have any registered referees who would like to work some tournaments this summer?  I'd like to get a referee crew together to go out and work some local youth tournaments.

Are any of you interested to get certified to work either club or high school soccer games?  Now is the time to move on this for the Fall.  High school games pay better, but you need to be available for weekday afternoon games.

• Application for PIAA Officials Test (Aug 7, 2010)^
• Information about becoming a referee in South Jersey^^
• Information about Federation Referee Classes - NJ*
• Information about Federation Referee Classes - PA*

*Cost for the federation referee course is $100 in PA & $75 in NJ.  The course is USSF designed, so the two are identical.  Once you are certified, you can work either side of the river.  Personally, I'd save the 25 bucks and take the course in NJ.

^For high school, in PA all you have to do is pass a 100 question multiple choice test.  You send in the application with your test fee, and PIAA sends you the rulebook. Read it and as long as you know the basic rules of soccer, you should have no problem passing.  Training is then provided by the local referee chapter you join after you pass.  The chapter will also assign you to games.

^^In NJ, training classes will be July 24-25 or August 14-15 at Eastern High School in Voorhees.  See the link to the website above to register.
