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
All new referees are required to attend a training seminar. I am holding the class on Monday July 26th with a follow up class on Wednesday the 28th. The class will be held at the Clearcreek Township Administration building (7593 Bunnell Hill Rd, Springboro, OH 45066) at 6pm. Feel free to start reviewing the laws of the game using the link below!

- SAY Online Training - SAY offers a great online training program where you can even take practice quizzes to help you remember the information. Because of limited class time, I tend to just do a basic overview, SAY's program is much more detailed!
- 2021 Referee Training Powerpoint Here is the presentation that I use for the class, once again this is more of a basic overview, but is a good resource to use while studying for the test!

For all RETURNING Referees
The training is not mandatory for you, but you are more than welcome to join! If you choose to not join in on the seminar, I recommend looking over the rules anyway to help refresh your memory for the test! ;D

For ALL Referees
There will be a recertification test that everyone will have to take. The test will be held Saturday July 31st at Clearcreek Park at 10am. Make sure to wear proper shoes because we will be going over field mechanics before the test. Also make sure you are all up to date on your State Certifications (SafeSport, Concussion, ect...) links to each are included below! Please bring a copy of the completed certificates to the test so I can collect them for my records! [:

As always, feel free to email me at [email protected] with any questions or concerns!

Here are the links for all of the certifications that the state requires us to have.
