Soccer ref clinic
AGNEW — A new soccer referee field clinic will be held at the Agnew Fields at 10 a.m. Aug. 2.
Prior to signing up for this course, you must complete the online course at https://home.wareferees.org/home. Go to the website and click on “I want to be a referee” and follow the instructions.
The registration fee is $90.
If people are 18 or older, there is an additional $3.70 fee to cover a background check.
The in-person portion of the certification consists of four hours of field practice.
Beginning this month, referees under the age of 18 will get green badges. Referees 18 or older will get black badges. This is a United States Soccer Federation mandate to call attention to the age of the referees and hopefully reduce referee abuse of youth referees.
