Mark Your Calendars for a Busy Spring PDF Print

As the Spring Season approaches, the calendar is filling up.  As always, it promises to be a busy time with a full slate of tournaments and league games. 

If you know someone who is interested in becoming a referee, be sure to let them know about the upcoming Entry Level Clinics.  There are two clinics scheduled to take place before the start of the Spring Season, and we can always use more referees.

The CSC Rec League begins play on April 10 and concludes with the Rec Tournament May 15-16.  The tournament season starts with Soccerfest in Jefferson City, followed by the Pride Tournament and a new tournement for this year, the Midwest Challenge Cup sponsored by KCFC Alliance.

With such a full schedule, be sure to mark your calendars now so you can be available to referee at these and the other soccer events throughout the season!

With Facebook, CMSRA has another way to connect with you.  We have always been proponents of using technology to help keep everyone informed, and this will add another layer to that use.  In addition to having another forum to disseminate information, we look forward to having an improved means of interaction between members. 

Be sure to visit our page and upload photos, start a discussion, or just see who else is refereeing in Central Missouri.  And since our page is brand new, be sure to spread the word to all you know who might be interested in.

The Recertification Process PDF Print

Below is a message from the Central District Referee Administrator, Ali Saheli.

 

Please be advised that all referees, regardless of grade (except for referees that have attended an Entry Level Clinic since June of 2009) must attend a recertification clinic, pay their annual USSF dues online, and pass the written test online to be able to re-certify for 2010.

The re-certification process is divided into three parts.
1) Online registration and payment of your fee to USSF.
2) Online taking of the recertification test.
3) Pre-register online with cdsoccer.org and attend one of the free re-certification clinics.
