Ref Training

Interested in becoming a Greater Sycamore Soccer Association (GSSA) SAY soccer referee, putting your soccer experience to work, being outdoors, and earning good money? 

GSSA is conducting its annual Referee Training on Wednesday and Thursday March 1-2, 2017 from 7:00 - 8:45 PM at Sycamore High School. This training is to prepare you to ref the lower age group games: Instructional/U6; Passers/U8; and Wings/U10 – the games played at Weller Park and Symmes Elementary.

Then, on Sunday, March 26, GSSA will hold scrimmages with Passers teams and Wings teams. This helps new refs put their classroom work into action. If you cannot make this session, then you will start your reffing career shadowing an experienced ref for a regular season game before you are assigned your first paid game.  

Classroom Training will take place at Sycamore High School, classroom 233. Pre-registration for the course is required. Once we have a full classroom of 30 students, the registration will close.  Please send an email to [email protected] to confirm registration.  Provide your first and last name and a parent/guardian’s contact information (email or phone #) in the email. 

Eligibility: you must be at least 12 years old by March 31, 2017.  
Cost: $20– check made out to Greater Sycamore Soccer Association (put “ref class” on the memo line) or cash (please place cash in an envelope with your name on it) 
Pre-work: You will receive a SAY rule book and test which must be completed prior to the initial class.  
Attendance:  It is mandatory to attend both nights of the classroom training. 

More instructions will follow upon registration.

Note that there is a backup date (Monday, March 6) in the event that either of the primary dates is postponed due to weather or other school cancelation reasons (if Sycamore Schools are closed on March 1 or 2, we will not be able to hold the referee class that night).  

Again, if you have any questions, please email [email protected].
