SOCCER REFEREES NEEDED

Players, Soccer Moms, Dads, Brothers, Sisters, Coaches, Former Players, Soccer Fanatics, Couch Potatoes, All:

Youth soccer needs you to participate in a manner you may never have thought about before. The youth game has continued to grow

exponentially, but the number of referees remains stagnant at best. Each yeah, nationwide, 30-40% of soccer referees don't return.

Here in Ohio South the same is true.  The game needs you to step forward and help. It doesn't need to be full-time, whatever little

time that you can contribute on your schedule will be helpful. 

Reasons To Become A Soccer Referee:

• It is a great way to contribute both to the sport and to the players.
• Excellent opportunity to get some physical exercise and improve your overall level of fitness.
• It can be an opportunity for some of you to give back to the game, as well as also allowing you to stay involved in the game.
• This is your chance to show that you can do a better job of officiating than what you've seen.
• It can be a challenging hobby that will improve both your physical and mental facilities.
• The opportunity to just simply better understand the game of soccer itself.
• A chance to network, meet new friends and enjoy the camaraderie of a fraternity of soccer individuals having the same interests and passions.
• A good source of additional income or just some pocket cash.
