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 have turned 13 years old before registering 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 an 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 7-8 hours) and pass the test before attending their field clinic
- The next available field clinic details are as follows:
- Date: May 5, 2023, 4:30pm - 7:30pm (arrive 15 min early)
- Location: Nimitz Elementary School,
545 E. Cheyenne Dr, Sunnyvale CA 94087
- Please come in athletic attire and bring water, whistle & AR flags if possible
(Note the 4/21 field clinic is full)
