2011 Preseason Kick-off Meeting Presentation If you would like a topic covered please send to me at referee.director@glasasoccer.org. ArbiterSports TrainingClick here for the new Arbiter Sports Assignment Software and RefPay Payment Software Training Presentation New Referee Advice for SuccessWelcome to our new referees that have joined the GLASA Referee family. I am asked often by new and semi-new referees how to become a better referee. I usually answer with this: experience refereeing different type games (boys and girls, different age groups, single or 3-man crew), doing a lot of games, along a list of other items that are explained in clearer detail at the link below. Please take a moment to read as this is great information - not only for the new referee but for the seasoned and up-and-coming referee. |
Upcoming Referee EventsNo events scheduledHow to become a RefereeThe simple answer: attend and successfully complete a referee training program. GLASA typically offers two entry level training programs before each season as do most medium and large member associations in North Texas. Note: You can attend a referee clinic anywhere in North Texas and referee in GLASA. More ... USSF Referee Grades ExplainedAll referees affiliated with FIFA have a designated referee grade. The grade indicates the qualification of the referee to officiate at various levels of local, national and international soccer competition. There is a common misconception that these grades are related to elementary or secondary school grades - they're not, they are assigned by USSF. More ... Referee InsuranceGLASA referees that are assigned to referee a soccer game on NTSSA / GLASA soccer fields are covered by your secondary insurance policy you paid for at annual recertification clinic or as a new referee (Grade 8 or 9). If you referee a game not assigned by an assignor and you have an accident you will not be covered. If you are assigned a game and a team forfeits or is a no show you can conduct referee services for 2 teams on the same field and at the same time you are assigned. Be cautious of performing referee services for a scrimmage at your church, at the park, etc. as you will not be covered by the secondary insurance. |
