Clearcreek Youth Soccer Association

Welcome back everyone! It is that time of year again, start dusting off your rule books, because it time for some training! :D

For all NEW Referees
Due to the concerns caused by Covid-19 we will be holding our training seminar online this year. This virtual class will be Monday July 27th at 6pm. To attend you will need access to the free app called Zoom. You can download it to your phone, or access it online at https://zoom.us/. I will send out an email with the meeting code the day of the seminar. Listed below are some links that you can use to help study/prepare for the class! [:

- 2020 Referee Training Powerpoint This is the presentation that I will be going off for the online class. Some of you may recognize it from last years class, but it has been amended for the 2020 rule changes that SAY implement this season!
- SAY Online Training SAY offers a great online training program where you can even take practice quizzes to help you remember the information. My Powerpoint is more of an overview of the rules, where SAY's gets more detailed about it. You can also find a link here that gives you a list of the rule changes that start this season.

For all RETURNING Referees
The online training is not mandatory for you, but you are more than welcome to join! If you choose to not join in on the online seminar, I recommend looking over the rule changes that SAY implemented this year, you can find a PDF listing it all out under the SAY Online Training link above.

For ALL Referees
There will be a recertification test that everyone will have to take. The test will be held Friday July 31st at 6pm at Clearcreek Park. It will be held outside where we can social distance. Due to concerns over Covid-19 I will also need everyone to sign/bring this Covid-19 Waiver.
