2010 Michigan Referee Academy

 The Michigan Referee Committee, in cooperation with the Michigan State Youth Soccer Association, is presenting a series of six free refereeing clinics at sites throughout the state in March.  These Michigan Referee Academy sessions are designed for the "less experienced" referee, with topics aimed at helping these officials make the transition from the certification and bridge classes to actually working games as referees and assistant referees. 

Learning will take place on the field of play through activities meant to be interactive and fun.  Topics will include pregame activities, signals and mechanics for both referees and assistant referees, controlling bench personnel and spectators, and how to recognize and deal with fouls.

Everyone is asked to come dressed in their referee uniform and bring flags and whistles if they have them.  Sessions will start promptly at 8:00 a.m.

each day and will run through noon.

 

There is an Academy location close to you and it's FREE.  Being a referee is never easy, but these clinics will help you be the best you can be.  Check the www.msysareferee.net website for schedule, locations, and instructions.

Start your game off right by planning to attend a Michigan Referee Academy near you.
