We will be offering to our players a pathway to becoming certified grassroots level referees. In conjunction with the Massachusetts Soccer Referee Association, the club will offer age-eligible players a series of classroom sessions with a trained instructor to complete the requirements for passing the test and receiving their referee patch. The sessions will go beyond the normal overview of the laws of the game, duties, and obligations typical of a one-day referee class. Students will be presented with interactive activities, spiraling reviews of content, in-depth discussions and question and answer sessions with the goal of all students leaving with their patch and a real-life understanding of the role and responsibilities of being a referee.
This first phase of the program will begin in the Fall of 2021 and run through the Spring of 2022.
