Spring 2023 Referee Grassroots Training Class

Interested in becoming a Referee?

SASC players (also parents and coaches) are welcome to participate in an upcoming Grassroots Entry Level Referee training class.

For the players, this is a great opportunity for a well paying job where they can not only get valuable job experience (resumes, job reference, etc) but also manage/organize a work schedule. As a bonus, they'll hopefully understand the game in a different way and for sure develop greater respect for the referees that officiate the games they are playing in.

Here are the steps if interested:

Follow the instructions at https://www.cnra.net/new-referee/ to create an account with US Soccer Learning Center

The student must be 13 years or older to register for the class
For those 18 years or older, you'll also need to complete a SafeSport / Background check. It can take 5-10 days to clear a background check

Once account registration is complete, sign up for the online course and its associated field clinic

Cost is $75.00 for youth (adults requiring background check are $30 more). This includes the USSF 2023 license

The student must finish all modules (approximately 10-12 hours) and pass the test before attending their field clinic

The field clinic details are as follows:

Location: Egan Junior High School, 100 W. Portola Ave., Los Altos, CA, 94022
Date: March 11, 2023, 10:00am - 1:00pm (arrive 15 min early)
Bring water, whistle & AR flags if possible

Please contact referee@sunnyvalesoccer.org if you have any questions.

SASC Senior Night 2022

SASC Senior Night / Club Night 2022

On Thursday, May 19th, we recognized our graduating 2022 seniors with our traditional send-off game against the SASC coaches.

Utilizing the brand new Fair Oaks Turf Soccer fields, a huge crowd watched the seniors take the lead early, with the coaches eventually edging out a narrow(ish) victory.

Congratulations to the Seniors and good luck in the future!
