From this page you will want to select the 1/31/13 date at Atlanta Youth
Soccer Association and follow the instructions provided to register for the
class. While registration is not
mandatory, it is strongly recommended as there is a class minimum and maximum
that must be observed. There are no
stated age minimums for this class, however the ability to successfully
complete the course and the number of available games increases as the age of
the aspiring referee increases from 10 to 14 years or older.
Bridge Course from
R9 to R8 – This class is for those referees that have successfully completed
the R9 class and want to upgrade their certification. Obtaining the R8 certification allows you to
be a referee or assistant referee at any youth soccer game from U19 or lower. You must attend all 8 hours of the class. The class will be held at Martha Brown
United Methodist
Church on Saturday, February
16th. You can register on the web by
going to www.gareferees.com. From this page, click on “Sign up for
Classes”; once this page loads, click on “Upgrade to R8 from R9 (Bridge)
Course” which will be in blue type near the bottom of the page. From this page you will want to select the 2/16/13
date at Atlanta
and follow the instructions provided to register for the class. While registration is not mandatory, it is
strongly recommended as there is a class minimum and maximum that must be
observed. A portion of this class is
on-field instruction which will take place at the Austin fields; logistics for those needing
transportation to and from the field will be discussed at check-in for the
class.
If you want to take one of these classes, but the date is
not convenient for you, it is possible for you to take the course at another
club. Completing these courses allows
you to referee for any club in Georgia. All dates and locations for classes are
listed on the www.gareferees.com
website.
Each individual referee needs to have a separate account on
the gareferees website as that is how certifications are tracked. If you are a parent registering your child
for a class please make sure to establish the account in your child’s name not
yours! Those families with multiple
children refereeing will need an account for each child.
