Maine Soccer Referee Association is having a Grassroots Soccer Referee training course April 28-29 in Portland. Anyone 14 and over in Maine can register to attend.
Previous knowledge of the game isn’t necessary. The course begins with the basics and builds from there. The Grassroots training course is 10 hours long, split between Friday evening (5:30-9 p.m.) and Saturday (9 a.m.-4 p.m.). The course covers the basics of the Laws of the Game, referee signals for both assistant referees and venter Referees, movement on the field, and game management. The course is taught by experienced USSF-certified instructors who are all active referees themselves. Uniforms can be ordered during registration and will be available for pick-up at the course.
The class will take place at East End Community School, 195 North St., Portland. You must be pre-registered to attend.
