AYSO Soccer Referee training Fall 2011 Referee training in Glenview is going on now. If you are a new Referee (or an existing U8 Official), now is the time to train as a Basic Referee. The first step is to attend one of these classes. The U8 and Basic Referee training class will be repeated several times. Classes will be held at the Glenview Park Center, 2400 Chestnut Ave, Glenview, IL. There is no cost to attend. No Soccer Experience is necessary.

If you have previously completed a Referee or Coach Safe Haven, you can arrive a bit later (30 mins) after the scheduled start of the class. These certification courses address all aspects of the game enabling new or U8 Referees be aware of game activity, keeping it Safe, Fun & Fair. Each class agenda addresses awareness of child development stages and touchline management issues (working with coaches and parents), the Laws of the Game (For Basic Referees: including introduction to Off-side and Fouls & Misconduct) and a discussion of age-appropriate application of these Referee tools. AYSO is an all-volunteer organization. If no one on the team volunteers to Referee, there will be no Referee at the game.
